HD6XX is my favorite, with a modified EQ. I like this curve but I add a little more to the low end on top of this usually depending on what I am listening to.

I've thinned out my collection by selling my DT1990, T5P II and had already sold my 1000XM2's.

I now have the Oppo PM-2, Sony MDR Z7 and Audio Technica MSR7 as well as Etymotic ER4SR IEMs.

Its funny how we grow attached to sound as a result of exposure and how exposure to a different signature can change that preference.

Currently just the HD 600 and the MSR7b and I don't plan to get any more because I am happy with what I do have

Also, its not like my pockets are bottomless

HD6XX Balanced (Just exquisite. It's so relaxing).
HE-400i (Sparkly planar goodness) Edit: My HE-400i yoke broke and I had to order the a replacement for $75. Thank you to the members on this forum who told me about the replacement.
DT 770 80 ohm (Exaggerated treble but a bass beast and an enjoyable closed can).
Focal Elex (Endgame. Great detail across all frequencies).

Pretty much happend when i had the ER4PT with a P - S cable the ER4S sounded light years ahead with clarity and balanced sound than the bassy headphones/IEM's i had before it.

I recycled the money I made from selling the two Beyerdynamics into a pair of AKG N90Qs which have made an excellent first impression. I would not pay their SRP for any headphones but the Harman outlet had a good offer and with money in my PayPal account decided to try them.

The show was great, did anyone else go?

HE-400i (Probably the most revealing headphone I own. Planar ftw) Edit: My HE-400i just BROKE!

What broke? The yoke? If so, you can get new ones from HiFiman...maybe free depending how old the cans are. They had a batch that was made with bad plastic - pretty much 100% likely to snap. They also have a newer version of the yoke that is re-enforced. When I contacted them to get my broken yoke replaced they actually sent me the re-enforced version for free.

How do you like your HD58X?

I enjoy them quite a bit! I picked them up after the HD650 and they were, to me, a nice alternative sound-wise as well as quite a bit easier to drive. They are a very flexible headphone in terms of applications

I might do that. They are great sounding headphones, but I guess I got a poorly built version.

If you ask and they don't send you a replacement, I know of something that may be a bit of a shot in the dark, but at least it's cheap. Hifiman sells a $125 "hybrid" headband on their website. It's the same headband that is used for the Sundara, and is used, with orange accents added, for the later versions of the HE560. The "hybrid" comes with mounting hardware you can use to attach it to the HE400i. Adorama sells the HE560 headband for just $10. The downside is, there are no mounting screws included.

Having too many headphones makes you not always use every headset.and many of them start to accumulate dust. I sold some, but selling used in China is always a hassle. Now I use he400i and ananda most of the time.
