The audiophiliac Steve Guttenberg's best headphones for every price

Steve Guttenberg (hometheater/stereophile/audiophiliac/CNET editor) has made a list of the best headphones from $22 to like $2000.

Monoprice 8323 $22

RHA M4A50 $50

Velodyne VPulse: $90

Noontec Zero: $100

Phonak Audio PFE 132: $240

Hifi man HE400 $399

Beyerdynamic T70: $595

Sennheiser RS 220 (best wireless) $600

FitEar ToGo 334: $1350

JH-Audio JH-3A: $1750 BEST OF THE BEST IEM/Earbuds.

AND THE WINNER IS....

[spoiler] The Audeze LCD-3s as ultimate headphones for $1949

I guess STAX SR-009s for $5000 weren't included since Stevie G has claimed they were the best headphone setup ever. [/spoiler]

Not a big fan of the CNET people tbhKHAndAnime

Me either. Don't trust their opinions.

Also I have been hearing good things about the HE400s but I never understood the "Audiophile" side to earbud phones. They simply don't have the size to drive a great sound. But i guess you need to cover all bases

Two grand for headphones? I better he able to hear the white noise.

Oh geez, stop with the CNET hate people. He's not really employed by CNET, it says so in all of his reviews on their website.. "Steve Guttenberg is a freelance blogger and contributor to CNET but bla bla"

He's not your average CNET journalist, he's the mother fu**ing Steve Guttenberg, king og audio :p

He's a STEREOPHILE and HOMETHEATERREVIEW journalist, NOT CNET. Though he helps CNET with certain audio reviews/opinions.

I completely agree. and I was wrong about Steve, he deliberately said that the LCD-3s were superior to the STAX SR-009s in his opinion. He preferred the punchier bass etc. General consensus is probably STAX SR 009, Sennheiser Orpheus, STAX SR 007, STAX lambdas > Audeze LCD3, Sennheiser HD 800, Sony flagship (forgot name), Grado PS1000 etc..

I'm very happy with my Denon HP1000s. Great audio quality and awesome durability as I travel a ton.
