The Idea:
I don't know if the attempt of this thread will be futile or not, but it's worth a shot. I noticed that some people have created new threads or short threads asking for companion or pairing headphones, but those threads never got very far. I know that this may sound a lot like the Recommendations Thread, but hear me out. This is more about specifying a companion for a headphone and filling a gap in our audio than just finding any headphone. All our headphones need someone to be with (or more than one, if you believe in that ) and sometimes it's hard to find the right match! Most of us will agree that no one headphone does everything we want it to, right? So let's all collectively help each other and find matching headphones based on our specific conditions. I know we all have different preferences to fill in those gaps for those headphones but there are a ton of people here with a lot of experiences that can help us newbies and/or seasoned head-fiers out!
To be more specific, try to detail your headphone you have and want a companion for, your music preferences for that new companion phone, price range, type (open, closed, semi, dynamic, orthodynamic, electrostatic, etc.), what qualities you want in the phone that are missing from the phone you have, amps/DACs you will use (or not use), what headphones you're already considering, and any further, specific details that can help us find you your new headphone!
(Sorry about the editing of this post. I'm on an iPhone and I'll edit it to be more exciting looking when I get back to my laptop!) I'll also add more references to this when I get the chance.
