The only hi-fi headphones I've ever owned are the Grado SR-60's, but my dad bought some very nice Polk Audio speakers with a subwoofer also. I plan on getting the Sennheiser HD-595's soon.
Personally, I think headphones and speakers are just the gateway to experiencing your favorite music as you would like to hear it. I know some people who can't tell the difference between ibuds and my Grado's... and I feel sorry for them. It's like seeing a beautiful sunset and everyone else is oblivious.
Also, I'm not exactly rich (college student), so I can't afford to buy AKG's or the top-of-the-line Grados or Ultimate Ears. But I love reading about what people think of them, and I love imagining what they might sound like. I'm appreciative of the "obsessive" types (the ones who write pages of detailed reviews) because they have a way of putting into words what I currently can't experience.
Finally, the fact that a lot of audio equipment is so expensive gives me something to look forward to, and helps me aspire to earn a lot of money one day!
