The SASH looks cool, too bad they don't have a normal payment processor or I'd grab a pair.

To bad for them (actually he) that their neighbour decided to invade their homes and destroy any form of life they might have had including western payment options like the thieves called PayPal. Wise is widely known (outside of $ country) but yeah, it sucks.

Indeed. I wanted to support him, not sure I still have a Wise account. And yes, F Paypal.

Alright, since I'm up early, today's poll is: What do you value most from headphones? Your answer can be anything, but just to give you a few ideas: Comfort, Clarity, Detail, Vocals, Strings, Mids, Bass, Highs, Price, Accessibility, Cable Connections, Portability, Noise Isolation, Quality, etc.

For me it's the entire mid-range, but with some really good bass and non-fatiguing highs that I can still hear. Oh, and comfort. All of that should come with a reasonable price

 

[Luckyleo]

Personally, I value a warm, silky mid-range and smooth treble. Bass should be tight, solid with slam, but not overbearing. Should be part of the greater whole.

1. “CONVENIENCE” by far, which is a bit of a cheater answer because encompasses a lot of qualities.:
- initial cost and maintenance
- comfort
- portability
- amp requirements
- eq requirements
- noise isolation

2. Tone
3. Bass quality

After those three its all icing on the cake.

Which of my headphones meets top 3 requirements the best? Porta Pro. But Grado (F-pads) meets all three plus more the best overall.

Heck yes Porta Pro haha. Bathys technically meets those requirements for me. Then again, so does the Aurvana Ace 2

Imaging and sound stage size and detail, alongside a neutral-ish tonal balance with the ability to play deep bass.

I think comfort is also a high priority for me, but I actually haven't run into a set that did not sit well on my head, yet. So it's not something I focus a lot on.

Try the Rosson RAD-0 without the headstrap mod. Rough

I would like to get a set of closed backs, so most likely the DCA E3 or ZMF closed.

I have a JM Audio XTC2.5 EXT LE closed-back set coming in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, it's as good as I expect it to be.
