Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro X Anniversary model
Finally joined the 770 Pro X club today... I've always loved a good V tuning :) Haven't had much ear time, but so far the Stellar continues to impress. Some family pics alongside the 770(80), 700 Pro X and 1770 Pro.- Bret Halford

FOSTEX T50RPmk4 RP
So you got them on sale, several months after launch... I'd imagine if you can wait until say this fall, you'll find Mk4's marked down too. Doesn't change the fact launch MSRPs are very nearly identical when adjusted for inflation (that with a whole new driver design to boot!).- Bret Halford

FOSTEX T50RPmk4 RP
I am trying to hold out for the T20 this time around, but boy it's gonna be hard if they drop an updated 60... It will be exciting to see where this new driver gen manifests in years to come and not just from Fostex. The Mk2/3 birthed ZMF, Modhouse and Dan Clark Audio among many others... who...- Bret Halford

New Justice is something special :) Favorite track so far... I think it's a Parsons reference but that might just may be wistfulness.
