Some love for the Q40. That's a damn fine avatar you've got there! Oregonian myself

Man, that must have been a looooooooooong time ago. Much more up to date is this -

Best heard - HE-6 fully modded straight from taps of my vintage Pioneer Spec system with a very close second place to my Pioneer SE Master 1. All the others listed are long gone...................my Denon LA-7000 was the equal of the Fostex TH900 so sold the Fostex.

Did like the Q40 but it was eclipsed many times.

For me there is one to rule them all.

ABYSS AB-1266 PHI TC

I use my focal clears for only gaming since I got the abyss. I have also sold off my lcd x and lcd 4z.

Look how easy it is:

Best Overall: Sennheiser HD250 Linear 1
Best Overall Used under $1k: Sennheiser HD250 Linear 1
Best Overall Used under $500: Sennheiser HD250 Linear 1
Best Overall Used under $150: Sennheiser HD250 Linear 1

Actually the price of the HD250 brand new adjusted to inflation was about $600-$700 if I am correct. Nowaday you can score a pair on ebay.de for less than $100.

BTW I sold my Oppo PM3 long ago. I had to massively equalize most headphones I owned. Not the HD250.

I always come back to Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro. They consistently check all the boxes for me :)

Hmmm... how do you think these might compare with the HD250 Linear 1?
