These are just some headphones I have tried in the past and enjoyed. There are way more and this will be a work in progress as I try more headphones in life. \n I will release a public edit version based soon so stay tuned to help edit that one! \n Again, with headphones, everything is subjective and this is a very watered-down version of everything. \nDepending on your amp, track, and more, these can sound very different. \nThis is just for fun and an easy to access guide for someone who does not want to be too invested but wants to make a good choice. :) \n - Best, Dakota
