You can’t name a single headphone that has consistent reviews here. And not only that the reviews aren’t consistent, they are compeletly in contrast to each other and you can’t get any useful info on products because of that. I’ve been looking around for a headphone that i can upgrade to and after 2 weeks of watching reviews on YT and reading people’s opinions here, I am pretty much convinced that there is no point in reading nor watching the reviews here and YT.

I also do not understand the overly negative feelings people have towards different headphones. It almost feels like 75 percent of reviewers here are just fan-boys of a single brand and are trying to destroy other headphone brands.

And I’ve been into the hobby for about 4 years now and I know the terms people use and what they by them, so no I’m not confused by terminology or anything like that, I’m just frustrated by everyone here thinking they are absolutely right about everything (sometimes even about things they haven’t even tried)

    Lol the restaurant review analogy is apt, since with both restaurants and headphones you can infer whether you’ll like it even with the vocally bad reviews. Chinese restaurant rated 4 stars, tons of reviews saying rude service, food is too spicy and greasy? That food will be amazing. Someone with HE4XX and Stellaris on their flair complaining about some cans being too laid-back? I’m gonna love that shit.
