How far have you gone?
Good day everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone is willing to share a pretty accurate sum of money that they have spent on this hobby. For instance, after doing A LOT of adding I've come up with $22,000 - $25,000. If you look at my signature you can see what I've come up with after all of this...- chimney189

Which headphone(s) have you bought, re-sold and brought back the most?
I thought that this would just be an interesting conversation starter. Here's my list: - Sennheiser HD 800/s (no joke, but I think 5 times) - Sennheiser HD 650 (3 times) - Mod House Audio Argons MKII (3 times) I've bought a whole bunch at least twice, but that doesn't seem too unusual for me. :p- chimney189

Portable headphones with great sound isolation
Good day everyone, I'm looking for a portable headphone that has GREAT sound isolation, NOT sound-cancelling. I'm generally open to sound signatures that are neutral, balanced. I'd also appreciate if it has a low-key profile -- something not bulky. I'm looking to spend $200 or below. Please...- chimney189

IEM recommendation
Good day everyone, So I'm looking to purchase an IEM that's $200 or less (IF the sound is THAT much better then I can push it to $250-300). Unfortunately I've spoiled myself with the Campfire Audio Atlas .. but I need to sell it for funds and I just can't justify owning an IEM for the $1,000 I...- chimney189

Portable setup for an HD 800S (I know..)
Good day everyone, I just sold this headphone to a good friend of mine. He will mainly use these headphones at home, but he is also interested in taking them to his office. He would be running them out of an iPhone 8 I believe (whichever the newest version is). I want to help him out with the...- chimney189

Has anyone eventually downgraded their system after reaching the 'top'?
I'm wondering about this. Today I suddenly told myself that listening to the HD 650 actually sounded more enjoyable to my ears when compared to TOTL headphones. I believe that I'm starting to listen to my equipment more than my music collection. It's a weird feeling that I can't seem to shake...- chimney189

This seems to apply to myself, especially with this hobby..
The more choices you have, the less satisfied you are with each one. The old “paradox of choice.” Research shows that when we’re presented with more options, we become less satisfied with any particular one we go with. The theory is that when we have so many options, we have greater opportunity...- chimney189

Looking for an IEM under $100 for SMALL ears
Good day everyone, I'm looking to help out a co-worker who wants a decent IEM for under $100. He basically watches a lot of news, soccer and sometimes (maybe?) music. So I guess I'd be looking for a sound signature that has somewhat of a surround sound that can hit those bass notes when called...- chimney189

Need a recommendation on IEMs <$500
Good day everyone, I currently own the Campfire Audio Andromeda. I love the sound signature, but have been thinking about selling it to invest in both an IEM and DAP.
