Headphone Tier List
This is where I rank all the headphones I've tried because why not.
Why Headphones
I like music (of almost all genres). Hence, over time I’ve developed a liking for one of the mediums of music, headphones 🙂. Some people call this sickness being an audiophile. I prefer open-back headphones, and most open-back headphones tend to be wired and over-ear. I run most of my headphones through the iFi Zen Air CAN headphone amplifier, or through the Qudelix 5K if I’m mobile.
This post helps me keep track of all the headphones I’ve sampled. Maybe I’ll end up writing some headphone reviews in the future too, who knows.
