What headphone(s) do you own ?

[icenine]

Meze Empyrean

 

[Tom Ace]

Grado HP2; bought them in 1994.

 

[soundwave76]

After some changes: Stax L300 Limited and Dan Clarke Aeon RT closed. Perfect combo of open and closed imo.

I just scooped up a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 250 250ohm for recording and I've got to say they sound how I imagine a closed HD600 would. A pleasant experience (after doing the cable input foam mod).

Beats by Dr. Dre.

(Juuuuust kidding.)

I don't think there's a sweeter set of cans out there than the Grado 325e, but unfortunately, when I need headphones these days, it's to keep sound either out or in, so closed-back circumaural are required. None of them sound as good as open back phones, but the Bowers + Wilkins P7 brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard Dire Straits on them, and they certainly bring Charles Mingus back to life too. Wonderfully intimate midrange on those.

For Dream Theater, though, I'm gonna want the Sony MDR-1A.

Just in: a Sennheiser hd540 gold (around 1990-ish). Mint condition I am so happy! Just sold: a Sennheiser hd 579 (2018). Owned a hd540 ref II until 2018 when it broke down. I was unable to really get to like the hd579 sound, even when calibrated with Wavelet.

I just got some Fiio FD5's, and after PEQ for some treble spikes, they sound really good. I own Hifiman HE-400i, Sundaras, and RE800s IEMs. The FD5s have both high quantity and high quality bass IMO. Lots of the actual tone and less bloom. I listen to mostly Classical and Prog Rock.

I just got the Fiio FD5s today and gave them a long long listen out of the box and I must say, best IEM I've bought so far. These are a bargain at the asking price, punches way above its price range. I'll see how they sound after 100hrs of burn in.
I have no idea how Fiio just keep improving so quickly, ChiFi is quickly catching up to the western industry in some cases even surpassing them for much more affordable prices.

 

[_Piotr]

Philips Fidelio x2 - My all-time favorite v-shaped headphones. I switch to them whenever my head gets warm from using the Sundaras.
Hifiman Sundara - Main headphones that I use
GoldPlanar GL2000 (waiting on the delivery from drop) - That's just me believing the train hype before real reviews were published.

Headphones I'm considering getting
ZMF Aeolus - a replacement for Fidelio X2

I have had -

. ATH-50x (First pair, broke down 5 years ago)
. Hifiman Sundara, great sounding, but uncomfortable (Had to send them back)
___________________________________________

Right now I have the AKG K550 MKII, but I am looking for an open pair.

Been looking at the HD6XX, DT1990 and the HD660s/HD560s.

I have heard that the soundstage of the 6XX is narrow, but would it be much worse than my current AKG 550s?

Other suggestions would also be appreciated. (Under 500€)

Yes. I had the 550 and the 650. The 650 sounds nice. But it doesn't sound wide like any other open back headphone. Very closed in in comparison. I compared it against some closed backs which are not typically wide sounding and hd 650 fell into the same league.

 

[Objectivist01]

Hd 650, audioquest nightowl, beoplay h6(WITH EQ). hd 650 for home. Nightowl while working at my office and then while travelling in a train. H6 when casually walking around and listening. Nightowl for listening to electronic music which needs some tight low end; hd 650 for voice focused music. Also first gen Samsung galaxy buds when I don't care about wires. But honestly the tonality on the galaxy buds gen 1 is superb though it lacks some tightness in sound. Things somehow sound right on it.
