If you didn't get the memo, Moon Audio Founder Drew Baird, P.E., loves headphones. They're why he created Dragon Headphone Cables—to ensure that he and everyone else could enjoy the best possible sound from their favorite cans. Moon Audio's curated collection of audiophile headphones from brands such as Audeze, Focal, HiFiMan, and more is a testament to Drew's love of head-fi. Drew's has listened to every headphone that Moon Audio sells—and then some: dynamic driver headphones, planar magnetic headphones, open-back headphones, closed-back headphones, you name it. As with any collection, there are some headphones that rise to the top for Drew. These are his "desert island" headphones, the ones he'd want to have if he were stranded in the middle of nowhere. Come to think of it, that sounds lovely.
Drew takes many things into account when choosing his favorites: comfort, build quality, sound quality, and a certain "X" factor. He enjoys critical listening, which means he favors—but doesn't limit himself to—analytical-sounding headphones. So without further ado, here are Drew's favorite audiophile headphones.
