What headphone(s) do you own ?

[Bernard23]

If only the subjective reviewers would attempt at some semi-quantitative comparison, it would make them more relevant. By that I mean it's daft to review any piece of kit in isolation, they need to be compared to at least one other well known "reference" that are common, obviously the greater the number of "reference artefacts" in any review the better, and the more likely it's going to be useful as a rough guide. Secondly, I never hear anyone mentioning specific details about the tracks they are listening to, and I don't mean the waffly nonsense red wine speak from hifi mags, I mean the details you can or can't hear; for example background chatter on pink floyd tracks, can you more easily hear what's being said in the background, can you hear the octave drop in the bass player. I've watched a few Z reviews, and give up before the end in frustration and boredom; there's little info of any use in them.

My Madhouse Argons arrived with swede pads and an extra balanced cable -- it took about 3 months for them to mod and send time to me in Sweden, just as advertised on their homepage. Argons requires a very strong amp and the one I have Zen Can Signature V2 HFM is well enough maxed out at the lowest gain. the bass is great and the soundstage wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide OMG!!!!!

my headphone list
Denon AH-D9200
Madhouse Argon T60
HFM Sundara
Sennheiser Momentum 2
B&W P7 -- stolen but I don't care as it is a terrible phone. B&W should not make headphones as headphones arent speakers, no they arent.

The next phone on my want list is HFM Ayra, the non-stelth edition.
I am waiting for the delivery of a new class A amp, Singxer SA-1.....

Nice, I almost got that amp but went a different direction and now have the Sabaj h20a.

there are hardly any reviews about a20h but it seems to be a good amp which seems to be trending here at ASR.
What makes this amp this popular?

What makes this amp this popular?

For me the resistor/relay volume control is one of the selling points. It's very precise and comes with a remote control.

Sennheiser 660s (Balanced) through Topping DX7s

AKG K872 - apparently the last design from the Austrian AKG team before they were sold to harman! I've found them really great for a 2nd reference, and great for catching tiny issues during denoising/restoration of audio Driven straight from a Prism Sound interface, no need for an external amp.

64 Audio U12t > Ifi IEMatch+ > Questyle M12

IEMs work better for my listening habits and align more closely with what I consider to be comfortable than full-sized headphones.

I would say about right but not had enough listening time with a couple of them to do a proper personal ranking, pretty much enjoy them all

I went this route, from AKG 240 MKII - AKG K7XX - K702 - DT990 PRO - DT880 PRO to DT990 600 Ohm. Now considering an upgrade.

 

[student of history]

I have lots, but only a few are worth mentioning.

The best/favorites (IMHO):
AKG K371 (Holy smokes! These rock!)
Apple ADDIEM (loved 'em when I got 'em, still love 'em. I baby them now since the insulation is coming off)
EarFun Free Pro 2 (first pair problematic, 2nd pair OK. My daily walking phones)

Others that I like:
Sony MDR-V6 (my originals from the 1980s, still going strong. Fantastic experience for 4 decades. Almost no other purchase compares.)
Sony XBA-1 (I use these all the time)
Philips SHP9500 (I need to try these more. So far, inoffensive but nothing like the K371)
Klipsch X-10i
Sony MDR-EX500 (the insulation has frayed off, but they still sound awesome)

Older ones worth mentioning:
Sennheiser PX100 (stilll going strong, but I just don't listen to them anymore)
Sony MDRXB50AP (very bland, nothing offensive)
Sony MDR-EX300 (not bad)
Etymotic Research ER6i (sounded OK, but terrible build quality in my experience)
