What Headphones do you use?



Beyerdynamics DT 990 (open) and 770 (closed). They are incredible!


Sony MDR7506....uber comfortable



Sennheiser px100 -II for listening to music whilst I'm out about as they produce a quality sound for that size and weight.

Ultrasone HFI-15G connected to a FiiO portable headphone amp (gives more power and bass if required) connected to a (rockboxed) sansa clip+ ( All in~Excellent sound reproduction in a comparably very lightweight mini form factor)

Other Headphones also.The above have been my favourite for a while, as I don't just passively listen to music.
I dynamically move with it
The best sounding headphones I have heard to date ( I've bought and sold many) are Hifiman HE-400

They use Planar-Magnetic Drivers
.
Too Big and bulky though for my use. So I sold them. If they could make some lighter in weight more compact planer-magnetic headphones, I'd love to try them out.

I Listen to Beyerdynamics DT 990, Sennheiser 650 & Shure SRH1840 in a music store and i think that the Shure headphones had a bigger soundstage & more 3D feeling to the sound.Beyerdynamics DT 990 (open) and 770 (closed). They are incredible!

I've had a pair of Klipsch IMAGE S4i for a few years now, and for the price, I'm quite happy with the sound quality. Only wish the 'case' wasn't so bulky. 



My pride and joy are my Sony MDR-7506, however I need to fix them (replacement jack connector bent) for now I am using my first pair of good headphones I bought years ago which are Sennheiser HD25-1

I am using for music Sony mdr-v55.

I'm lucky enough to be able to afford a headphone and 2 channel system of a fairly high level. I'm an audiophile, so this is a vice/passion/hobby. My headphone system is:
Streamer: Lumin U1
DAC & Headphone Amplifier: Chord Hugo 2
Upsampler: Chord Blu Mk2
Headphone: Abyss TC
80% of my listening is lossless Redbook streamed through Tidal & Quboz via Roon,the remaining 20% is lossy encodes via Tirbalmixes and other web based sources.

i recently got these taotronics, - not really happy.. good sound, bassy, deep, nice, i like it, and noise-cancelling is not too bad, but they are kinda heavy... and tight. after 2-3hs my head's temple starts to be noticeable... have you ever felt that spot on your head in general life? me - not until these recent weeks.. and ears hurt from the tight grip.. with wool beanie that i like to wear at home sometimes, - ears ok, temple still starts after a longer while.. but i guess i know now what you get for $50... maybe i should go for $300 next..


Hey!
I have two Sennheiser HD600, one used, one new in box.

I think, one of the best headphone on the planet right now. Just the 440 USD price is...

For edm music there is only one brand that really performs and doesn't kill the sound: Sony. Always has been and still is the leading headphone maker(just check out what all radio makers and studio professionals use).
I use a MDR-XB950 for listening to techno sets and other dance music. It's bass reproduction is like being at the venue standing close to the speaker stack. No other headphone I ever heard can do that without distortion and overall bad sound.
