if you still searching probably not the case
Depends if you search for THE best or simply for other good ones I guess.

sell everything but the best earphone you got, you will feel better
too much stuff and getting more, always searching, it will get you to nowhere, come to the dark side - minimalism
less is more, it is just a advice, i was like him before

Andy: I had Mr. Mozart to keep me company...[He points and taps his head] It was in here. [And he gestures over his heart] And in here. That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you. Haven't you ever felt that way about music?...Here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so we don't forget...that there are places in the world that aren't made out of stone, that there's, there's somethin' inside that they can't get to, that they can't touch. It's yours.Technically you don't don't even need any audio gear - no DAP, headphones, nothing. Just hum your favorite music, and you're all set!
I agree a little bit, that collecting and hoarding is more of a burden than it's worth, for example having more than 10 expensive ($200+) earphones at any given time is more of a burden on almost anyone than the joy of alternating them. Clutter is very damaging on the mind and sometimes hard to notice.too much stuff and getting more, always searching, it will get you to nowhere, come to the dark side - minimalism

However, I think that frequently buying new IEMs/headphones that intrigue you with new technology, and selling older ones that did not make it into your personal top 5/top 10, is the key to having fun and enjoying this hobby.
The proper analogy is eating different foods with the same utensils. Reading different books with the same eyes. The IEM is not the content; music is.Eating the same food everyday or reading the same book over and over isn't everyone's thing.

I don't think it's as relative as that. Materialism and consumerism has tangible and direct impact on the environment and the amount of finite resources extracted from the planet. Per capita resource extraction and energy extraction in the West is not currently sustainable if extended to the entire world population. Our individual choices have collective repercussions and all choices are not uniformly equal.I’d say that minimalism is just as valid as materialism, collecting, hoarding, and everything in between.
Just like religions of the world, who’s to say that their way is right and everyone else’s way is wrong?
Maybe I have a massive collection of rare coins or artwork, because I’m using it as an investment asset?
Or maybe I don’t want to collect anything and live a minimalist lifestyle because I live in a micro home or camper or have anxiety/closterphobia issues about clutter?
No one can say one is right or one is wrong. We all have free will to do what makes us happy in our short time on this earth.
No matter what our personal philosophy is on the subject however, one thing is absolutely certain - you can’t take it with you when you leave this life.
