HEDDphone D1 is my current happy place without going into the thousands. Compare it to an iBud on a spotify lossless track and it's kind of shocking.

I ran my ~2011 i7 MBA for 12 years as primary laptop before the battery finally killed it (had to run linux on it due to apple killing support the last few years). Great hardware. I don't miss OSX though.
