Yesterday my sister visited us because our son turned four and I just wanted to demonstrate my new headphones to her; Hifiman Aryas. She loves music and often visited live concerts before Covid made this impossible but she never heared any higher end headphones or owns any good audio equipment herself. I gave her the headphones and she spotted a song from Ane Brun (Big in Japan cover) in my favorites, which she knew and liked. I started the song and could actually see how she got goosebumps on her arms. She was totally flashed by the experience and did not want to stop listening. I was really happy to see her enjoy the music so much. Maybe this is something we do not experience so heavily anymore, when using higher end gear all the time. It was a real good experience for her for sure
BTW: After some songs with the Arya I handed her Focal Clears. In her opinion these sounded worse. It took her maybe 20 seconds to render this judgement
Did you have such experiences too?
Please delete or modify if this is too irrelevant for this forum and sorry for my bad english.
