    This is very true. It is certainly the best dynamic driver in a headphone I have heard.

    What headphones have been ruined for you? Just curious.

    Then definitely do not try the HE-1...

    I haven't taken the plunge yet, the local dealer is closed until Monday. It's ruined everything dynamic except the HD800, and every planar I've heard except the HE-6. No, I haven't heard the new Hifiman stuff @BenjaminBore , I'll have to avoid them until my wallet recovers.

    Oh no, nothing to worry about with Hifiman. Utopia really is far ahead of everything else. I meant the unattainable, the new Sennheiser Oprheus HE-1. It leaves a mark on you..

    Oh yeah, I've avoided that stuff. To be honest, if I hit the lottery today and could buy them, I probably wouldn't anyways. They're too kitsch for me.

    The HD600 has ruined the Utopias for me.
