I've never ever felt this kind of connection and independence with music listening--and for sure never with this kind of sound quality! Why get the audiophile surround-sound stereo setup for a room where you have to sit in one precisely located place in order to "hopefully" hear your music (who knows what other sounds in the house or neighborhood might invade and/or encroach upon the purity of your musical listening experience) when you can be cocooned in your own warm little audiosphere while remaining fully ambulatory!???

My favorite songs and albums from 2022 (which I'm listening to a lot right now due to end-of-year shows, charts and lists) sound SO MUCH BETTER than they did on my previous Sony headphones. I am on such a high!

One problem: I'm really going to miss my wife.

Has anyone else here experienced such a radical transformation in their music-listening life? I mean, I thought Mobile Fidelity pressings and Japanese-pressed 100% virgin vinyl albums, sub-woofers, Magnapan ribbon speakers and Culver's holographic sound were amazingly revolutionary sound experiences, but this . . .  this tops them all!

Happy New Year
Sounds awesome Drew!! I only use headphones when I travel, planes and such...drowns out all the bitchy snot nosed kids screaming on flights LOL.
As you know I'm a straight 2-channel, vinyl speakers listener kinda dude!
Enjoy the music!

Basically it is Final’s flagship headphone. Very drool worthy sound.

All in all. It has been one hell of an expensive year, but like you I’ve never been happier. I’m more connected to my music than I’ve ever have been. :)

Glad to hear you are so happy. All I can say is I know how you feel and you’ll upgrade even further in the future.

Thanks, Nick! By the sounds of things, you are in a far different league than I am--the place I may have been moving toward in the 1980s (before marriage and children). But you may be right: this may just be the beginning of my audio technological advances, investments, and improvements!
