Headphone no cost limit.

Here’s a link to a site that covers headphones.

http://www.innerfidelity.com/frontpage

Click on the "Wall of Fame" link to see what the editor thinks of various headphones.

Best headphone?
Open or closed?
Dynamic, magnetic planar, or electrostatic?
Interface single-ended or balanced?
Power requirements, player type?

There’s a lot of variables to picking a headphone. It is also a growing hifi sector that has been bringing a lot of new technology to market.

Good luck in your search.

Best of them all , current in production.

Head-FI is the largest and best headphone site.
Biggest forum. Thousands of posts. Many reviews. World views from many experts.

Forget innerfidelity. It is one person’s opinion. He tries to measure and fails.

Like any ’BEST" post, YMMV, and IMO.

Read and think.

There are many choices at different price levels. I gave mine.

Best of them all, current in production, no cost limit.
Then put these on your list.

The author is a marketer for Sennheiser.  Speaker Boxx and radiohead music ?????

Read the followup comments on the Wired article.

The new Sennheiser-Orpheus is nonsense, and a ripoff IMO! I do not see the $55,000 cost in them!

It is not even true analog! What’s a D/A converter doing in the system?

There is a lot of negative comments on Head-FI forums about these.
