For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

Right now, I've been using my new to me Arya Stealth since I got it a few weeks ago. I wasn't onboard with it stock and with it EQ'd, it is magical. I enjoy the lightweight and comfort of this compared to my prior LCD-X I replaced with the Arya.

So I've been mainly listening to this one to get some good impressions while enjoying music and gaming with it. I have it connected with my JDS Element 3.

I thought I'd be someone not using a Hifiman but this one won me over for them. I'm not sure I would upgrade to the Organic anytime soon either.

Took the day off to clear my mind a bit… starting with a walk to the park and my favorite IEMs.

The MM-500 perfect fits the bill for Joe Cocker vocals, maybe not the best recording/album but nevertheless I like it since it has most of my favourite tracks when I listen to this album from CD.

Lumin almost bring the the joy of CD player. Just select album (assuming you have a proper library) and you can listen for hours without interruption. Another great reason to own and not rent music :)

I actually started out with the SMSL C200, but changed to the V200/DO100 combo after a few songs. I guess I'm spoiled by the V200, as I felt a lot was lacking with the C200. Maybe just placebo.
Anyway, I'm actually on the DT 990's this time around :)

I'd like to as a fellow @pataburd MM-500 owner: what is your favourite album that goes along those cans?

Listening to the new/temporary John Mayer channel 14 on Sirius/Xm. He played a song from this album and I really liked it. Listening to the whole album now...

Good Question!
Give me a while to think/listen about it.
Have been spending most of my time lately with the Amiron Home and/or Edition Eleven and/or NDH-30, and with classical/orchestral genres.

What We Did On Our Holidays (1969) by Fairport Convention - Their second album and the first to feature Sandy Denny and the first of three classic albums they released that year. It also marked their move towards folk-rock which is the genre they have owned ever since. Standouts are Fotheringay (Sandy Denny) and Meet On The Ledge (Richard Thompson), though there are other good songs too, it's not a weak album. The more delicate sound of the HE400i's suit the music and especially Sandy Denny's voice really well, think I may well give them an extended run. :darthsmile:
