I thought the AirPods were overpriced until I got gifted a AirPods Pro. For convenience it’s unmatched, especially if you own Apple products. Also their transparency mode is unmatched. I’ve stopped using almost all my other headphones because of how convenient it is. They don’t sound bad either.
Always tempted to buy a pair of Bose over the ear ones, but I’m sure they’ll end up in the pile like my Sony and Plantronics ones which I used for work before.

I don't enjoy having any outside. It's like they isolate me from reality so I pay zero attention to stuff around me. Listening to music outside make me feel like a robot on autopilot. After 2-3km distance I feel like not remembering any part of the distance I walked. I'd rather think about cetain topic and/or relax brain
What am I missing with in ears?
Teens showing each other tik toks, blasting their shitty trap music through shitty bluetooth speakers, old people complaining about the weather...I'm missing out big time.
If I'm in a nice spot, sure I'll take them out. But other then that, no way I'll listen to all the crap if I don't have to.
Headphones and music are the best way to relax and focus on myself and whatever is on my mind, without having to listen to whatever bullshit is surrounding me.

unfortunately they are terrific when driven by the little tube amp we share with the guy. it was nice with the rme adi2 dac too, still a bit flat and dull sounding. much better than i remember from a previous vanilla hd800 (not hd800s) listening test. rip my wallet lol
i'd probably keep the focal though, it's nice for the short time i use headphones
my host though, i think i changed his mind. he has two headphones for his desktop setup: hd800s and denon d5200 (one of the best closed back i know, and i had the d7200 for a year, the little brother sounds more balanced, natural and never gets in the way while the d7200's bass bloat was a pain in the ass sometimes), but his wife often takes his place for some home office stuff, so he can't listen to music while his wife is working. so he wanted a wireless to connect to his phone. he ordered the sony xm4 a few weeks ago, found it not really enjoyable compared to the hd800s and the d5200, sent it back before the 14 day return window expired. he will get the beyer amiron wireless next week on a loan from a dealer we know, but he already knows that he won't buy it. why? because he plugged the d5200 in the lotoo paw s1 i showed him today, and it really was awesome. so now he's about to get a lotoo paw s2 (the newer model) and call it a day. and i missed out on a d5200 ebay auction tonight lol, maybe next time
btw i read a nice review on your dali's: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/dali-io-6.24111/reviews this guy currawong has a nice yt channel too, so i know what he's into. an other confirmation on the good sound quality of these cans.
