People have preferences and someone who has listened to 5 headphones total doesnt hold a candle to someone who listened to over 100. But then the guy who listened to 100 might not even care anymore.
Not sure I agree with this... although I get your point. As far as subjective analysis is concerned, if the 5 HP guy is a trained listener (or studio engineer, possibly musician) he might be more accurate - at least on those 5 models. The guy who has listened to 100 is almost certainly a professional reviewer... probably shilling products from one or more manufacturers - rather than simply stating their preferences.
Of course, if they include some objective analysis as well - then I'll choose that reviewer even if it's their first review.
