Just curious ...
What headphone(s) do you currently own ?
Which one(s) is(are) used the most, or is your favorite ?

I prefer loudspeakers; seem more real than headphones, but when I have to use them I just spent about £200 on a pair of Sennheiser hd599 & Beyerdynamic dt770 with a Schiit Magni 3+. Good enough.

HE-1000 V2

Since Friday I am also the owner of the HE-1000V2.
Already after a few minutes it was clear that it is a hit.
This headphone takes one on a fantastic journey. I do not know how to put my enthusiasm into words. But at this Hifman comes very close to my ideas of a perfect headphone.
No matter what genre, it sounds stunning!

I've had most TOTL headphones in my possession, but this Hifiman is clearly my new number one!
The thing is addictive, I got up at six o'clock today and listened to approx 7 hrs.

PS. the HE-1000 V2, sounds more like I wanted the LCD-5.
Because compared to this one, it doesn't show any aggressiveness, and is still, veeery airy, ultra precise and super high-resolution.

While the Stealth's away, the Hemp will play! My new tube amp won't play well with hard to drive planars, but Hemp is sounding marvelous through this distortion creator. A very wide open musical soundscape with enough separation between instruments to denote location but maintaining an intimate sense of space.

I also love the tone with wood and brass instruments.

I’ve finally joined the big headphone club with a sundara, very pleased with it so far

Aeon Noire and Meze Liric. I'm not living alone and I'm living in a pretty noisy house.
So it's closed back headphones for me.

Hey @Snoopy - nice cans man! Could you briefly compare them? Curious wallets want to know!

Plenty of good reviews out there that compare them better then I ever could

But the Liric sound better... But considering the price difference the noire come damn close if you use oratory1990 EQ settings on both.

The liric feel definitely more valuable (material quality). And have better isolation. They are easier to drive.

The noire are more comfortable and sound very good as well. Especially for half the price of the liric.

Thanks man - perfect!

Sennheiser 560S hooked up to an Atom+ stack.

Wow, 103 pages of comments.

Focal Clear MG's are my favorite headphones to listen to music with. Some music that has less high's and CSN first record, I prefer listening to music with Beyerdynamic 1990's which have a brighter top end.

Most idiotic subjective review comments

Hi - a thread so we can all have a good chuckle about the most ridiculous comments made by reviewers. Please don't name the product, reviewer or publication - this is just about the prose I will start the ball rolling with this :) "I’m not one profoundly driven by rhythm; the music I enjoy...

Sennheiser HD700, before that a pair of AD900x and AD700. The Audio Technica were magical with female vocals, sadly were very sucky with everything else. Currently considering HD800s but that would require RME DAC/amp for EQ when connected to non-PC sources
