I think after a while nothing really wows you anymore. I've heard a number of summit-fi headphones (Meze Elite, Focal Utopia pre-2022, Focal Stellia, HEDDphone, Audeze CRBN and LCD-3, HD800S, HE1000se, Fostex TH-900mk2 Anniversary, Verite Closed, and my personal Shangri-La Jr), and all of them sound good in various forms, but nothing produces the "wow" sensation. Possibly this is because my first summit-fi experience was the SGL Jr, and I only got to demo the others after already owning it, so the bar was very high already. Plus, demo conditions are never good for "wow" moments as the stuff that would impress me is hard to hear in noisy show floors.
