What headphone(s) do you own ?

Jays V-Jays (somewhat similar to Koss thingies)
AKG K518 (modified, still not great)
Fostex T50RP both modified and EQ'ed (have not been used for years, great sound though)
Beyerdynamic DT990-600 (oldie, used it for many years, not used any more but can't part with it)
Beyerdynamic DT1350 EQ'ed and nubuck pads (used these on vacation now and then, need EQ, very dynamic and good SQ to me)

Sennheiser HD800 (EQ'ed).
NAD VISO HP50

Most usage: HD800 (EQ'ed)/DT1990, a prototype headphone I cannot name alas and DT1770 (closed)

Do you have a preference for any amplifier for your HD800?

 

[solderdude]

I use it on my own design amplifier.

(filtered) FT7 and JT7

If I may ask - what filter do you use for the JT7? (or better: which frequency range does it attenuate or boost for that matter).
Thanks in advance!

 

[solderdude]

As soon as I have it measured I will publish. It basically is similar to part of the FT7 filter, but without the treble filter section. Different values though.
Hopefully somewhere next week or so.

First time here meeting all!
My headphones are:
1. Koss KSC75 with Yaxi Pads and KPH40 style headband, To be Modded with 2 pin cable.
2. Yamaha HPH-MT8 "Zutomayo" version, buying for looks and it's a nice quality studio headphone ngl.
3. Samsung x AKG EO-IG955, buying for the memes.
4. Sony WH1000XM5, A bitter "stepback" for me after KEF MU7 broke two times already and did a refund just to get XM5.

All wired headphones are passing thru iFi Go Link Max.

Headphones once I owned:
1. V-Moda M-100 mk1, My First Love, broke because of loose screw, and sad demise for V-Moda as they are screwed by Roland.
2. KEF MU7, No EQs available, nicely designed, questionable tuning (According to my family). Got major manufacturing flaw which breaks the hinges.
3. Grell x Drop TWS1X, bang of a buck for me. Costing 300HKD then and I enjoyed good HiFi in a lifespan of a year. Inoperable because I lost the charging box in CanJam lol

Now added the Zylli Lyró to my collection, owning two headphones is a rather poor collection but I’m not a headphone/iem listener at all…..probably less that 10hours in total this year so far.

Just googled out this headphone. Haven’t heard of this from anywhere before and never seen one in CanJam HK despite Zaylli being a HK company (I am HKer). Curious about the phone and would buy one if this and Over ear set feels right.

Zaylli Lyrö. These on-ear headphones have promising measurements.

I have have come across a new kickstarter headphone, which usually I would ignore but the kickstarter is well funded, and they did send review samples to ORATORY, Unheard Labs, who provided freqeuncy response and distortion measurements; along with GREQ, who gave a glowing review on Youtube...

@solderdude

Did you receive a pair for testing yet?, or buy a set yourself?.....if I was in holland I'd be happy to send you mine but thanks to dickheads the ability to post between here in the U.K. and the E.U is a rigmarole.

 

[solderdude]

Don't have one nor plan to buy one.
Seems like a good product but would most likely need to sell it again and with considerable loss.
For portable duty I have a DT1350 with comfortable pads and EQ.

Agreed shipping to and from U.K. to E.U isn't as easy and cheap as it used to be.
