Audiophile headphones are my hype good. I have a pair of Sony xm3 noise cancelling, and they’re very nice and very useful. I have some nice Jabra earbuds, and they’re very convenient and sound pretty good too.
But… Man. Nice headphones with a nice amp and dac, with nice recordings. It’s just incomparable in quality. On the bt stuff you get left and right. But on the audiophile stuff you get close, far, left, right, behind, soft, punchy, up, down, and it all sounds even better. And no compression artifacting! No garble, no batteries, no waiting to connect, and they’ll last decades as daily drivers and then have replaceable parts even after that.
Also, nice speakers are worth the hype. Just buy real studio monitors like a pair of Yamaha hs8’s. You’ll never need to upgrade pc speakers ever.
Good sound gear is one of those things where you have no idea the difference it makes until you try it. Particularly if you’re coming from AirPods, etc
