Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them?

Schiit Audio. I bought their little headphone amp a couple of years back for my son. So completely unlistenable. I don’t know if I got a bad one or what, but it should have never left their grounds. It just really turned me off of that brand.

Same experience for me.... Unlistenable....It takes 5 seconds....I selll it the day after and never look back to this brand....

I imagine that their newer products were better but i was never tempted to verify, especially after trying another cheap amplifier  that crush them at the same price....

I bought my first new headphone, after 25 years with Beyerdynamic Dt 990 indestructible headphone that my wife break with the aspirator, 8 years ago, Hifiman He 400 replace them; but they break themselves in 2 parts suddenly after 4 years of using them with care for no reason excess defective design....Paid a 300 hundred bucks at this time for a defective hyper hyped product....It gives me a first lesson.... Some other comes after....For sure i will never buy Hifiman products in the future.... Nor any too hyped new one..... :)

My wife remember that accident because that motivate my obsessive journey in audio audiophile experience for the good 7 years ago....I mange to do that without much money but with success....

My speakers and audio system is so good ( vintage speakers Mission Cyrus and amplifier Sansui AU 7700)now that i dont use any of my 7 headphones even the Stax models.... Good Speakers rightfully embed trash them all on all counts....

My best....

A remark: Contrary to the Hifiman experience, the Mission experience and the Sansui experience were so good i bought another model for each one of these brand with complete satisfaction....
