What headphone(s) do you own ?

[ManuCV]

Since I use the search function in the forum quite a lot to check opinions on some headphones and speakers, I thought it would be ok to share my headphones. Sometimes it's good to know that someone has a specific model in case you want some feedback.
I don't use headphones that much at home, that's why you will see more portables than anything:

-Beyerdynamic T51i
-Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H6 (1st Gen)
-Sennheiser HD-25-1 II
-Sennheiser HD-560S
-Avantone Pro Planar
-Hifiman HE400i (2017 version, I think)
-Mr. Speakers Aeon Flow Closed (very first model, before being DCA)
-Bowers & Wilkins PX7
-Truthear Zero (I like them a lot and so far the only IEM comfy enough to keep)

focal elear w/ elex pads and hd6xx. srh1840 is on the way. and I once had sundara and hd560s but returned and sold them cuz they were too peaky in mid-treble for my taste

Stationary :
Audeze closed power and equalized via the Minidsp shd studio and ears.
heavy but not an issue for me, sound wise really suits me.

Mobile, gym, calls during work : B&W P7 wireless.
Via iPhone or (work) laptop.

Looking for an upgrade for the tired P7 :
- wireless or only a wire direct to my iPhone, no additional amps etc.
- like to have a sound quality closer to my Audeze set up.

First wanna check out the B&W PX7S2/PX8 or Focal Bathys.
Check out how good they are when hard wired.

Sold my Beyerdynamics. I'm looking for something new. At the moment I only own small in-ear JBL Tune 205s. I love them for what they are. It's a nice sound, not exaggerated in any part of the specter and it's a shape I can use with my poorly designed/evolved ears. They came really cheap.

I had Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO and I liked them, but they weren't the ones to stay with me. I passed them on. What I noticed the most about their sound was lack of low end.

I was recommended here in ASR to try AKG K371 and I'm thinking about it.

I can't comment on PX7 S2 or PX8, but I do have the PX7 and they sound exactly the same when wired. Battery is needed to run them wired so the internal DAC etc is still in place - no difference in the sound whatsoever. I would expect the same on the newer models.

Atm I have only my Sennheiser HD 660s and HyperX Cloud 2 wireless headsets for things that require no-wires activities (teams meetings, saving children from the laundry machine, etc)

I hate having too much stuff lying around

 

[bodhi]

I have HD600 and LCD-X left. I gave away bunch of ~200€ headphones to family members. I thought it would be nice to have different ones to switch to once in a while but I never did and got tired of them littering my view.

 

[joseG86]

I had many but this is the only one left, my love...

 

[solderdude]

D8000.... probably sounds better fully assembled

headphones: audeze lcd-xc '21, audio-technica ath-awas, audio-technica ath-wp900 (daily driver - very versatile), drop+focal elex, focal radiance, fostex t60rp, fostex th-900 pearl, fostex th-909 (my fav), grado white, hifiman ananda, rosson audio rad-0 (in transit), sony mdr-z7m2

iem: ikko oh7, ikko oh10, fiio fh7

dead: grado 80, grado 125, grado 225, grado rs2 ... it's always the f'n cable

I'm looking at wp900 to use as commute and recreational walking , world browsing headphone. It comes highly recommended as properly portable wired hires set of overears

I own a lot of headphones, generally most can be made to sound significantly better using EAPO + PEACE on Windows or Wavelet on Android so all is not black and white. I also own a lot of sources. But, yeah, I'm not the ultra-fidelity gold ear kind, I'm a music lover and also a musician and with aged ears. I go by: "if it sounds good, it is good" without further analysis.

Currently mostly listening to:

Sony MDR-Z7M2 using SMSL D-6/SH-6 on Windows

Some of the other cans, in no particular order

Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro
Hifiman HE400SE
Sennheiser HD600
Beyerdynamic DT900 ProX
AKG K612
Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 Ohm
Sony MDR-1AM2
Shure SRH-840A
Audio-Technica ATH-M50X
Sony WH-H900N
Sony MDR-ZX700
AKG K240 Studio
Creative Aurvana Live! SE
Samson SR850C
Philips SHP-8900
Sennheiser HD429
Sony MDR-CD770

and a few other cans

I have several audio interfaces, digital mixers, old-school HiFi and what not but I do think my SMSL-combo has an edge on everything else in sounding better.

For portable, I just use my Sony Xperia 5 Mark IV as it has a headphone output and pushes surprisingly high volume levels, but I use Bluetooth mostly(WH-H900N) as I don't want a wire when out and about. I hate IEMS as I find them terribly uncomfortable

Grado just has no respect for their customers. The totl has an even worse cable than the bottom.

[04gto]

Audeze LCD-XC v2021 (had this for exactly two years and I will never sell these)
ZMF Eikon Marblewood (three months, had the Teak version before, sold it and regretted selling it, these won't be going anywhere)
HD6XX (two months, had it before, sold it and regretted selling it, these are here to stay)
HD560S (two months, I may not keep these, as the HD6XX are similar but slightly better)
64 Audio Trio (one month, these are used daily and are here for life)
7hz Timeless (1.5 years, amazing value, till death do us part)
AKG N400 (1 year, these sound really, really good for true wireless but they leave a lot to be desired for consistent functionality and reliability )
Sony WF1000XM4 (2 years, these are my back up to the not very trustworthy N400s, I mostly keep these so my wife can have a descent set for travel)
Sony EX155AP (2 years, I use these to listen to pod casts in bed)

(over the last three years I have owned 30+ other sets from ZMF Verite to E-Mu Teak to Focal Stellia to, well you get the idea)

Sundara - my main home headphones. I’m listening to them now. However, I tend to listen to my Kali LP-6V2 monitors much more than my headphones.

HD560S - my main work headphones. I think I like the Sundara’s better, but not by much.

7Hz Timeless - maybe not totally neutral (even with eq), but I love the sound.

Truthear Zero- my go to IEM. I tend to listen to these more than the Timeless. I love the sound and they fit my ears. The more I use them the more I gravitate to them. I might even say these are my favorite headphones. They certainly get the most use.
