HiFiMan HE-1000 Headphones vs Reference Speakers ?

tonykay, most headphone need 150 to 200hour to reach best sound.

I don't believe in it ,headphones will be headphones,yes they might dig out more details,but never will give impression of speakers,every model of headphones have they own imperfection.Reviewers usually it mask politely:)
Bullshit,then people in studios where recordings are made always must wait 200hours:D

Readers please keep in mind hifisoundguy was touting Bose 901 speakers a few years ago as the second coming.
A review of his posting history is warranted.

extravaganza: and every speaker system will have major flaws: the room.

but yeah, audiophile spend 30k on a system in a room with terrible acoustic.

Listen to the HiFiman HE-1000 phones for yourself and decide. If AudioQuest can make headphones at $600 that match $3,000 phones, more power to them. I'm guessing they can't. Once you listen to the HE-1000, you'll understand!
