Mine were the triple.fis immediately followed by a headsix amp immediately followed by an ALO LOD immediately followed by the Sr-325i's. This place is pure evil. Look at my sig to see how far I'm in debt. Gotta go console my wallet, it's screaming.

I was looking for something that will sort of replace mine ER6i. Read about it, and my budget is fairly in the middle, yeah after all the research... i went for the Ultrasone Pro 750s ($430 AUD) because of the technology i suppose, love the idea of reduced listening fatigue, and im surprised that it actually is OK even on my iPod Classics etc :p But its fairly big certainly not for portable use which i never intended it to be.

After agonizing over the k701 vs HD650 question, I decided to get the k701's because newegg had them at a great price, and their service is killer. Turns out the k701's broke on me and I got refunded the money to go try out the HD650's. Couldn't have asked for better circumstances. Also grabbed a bijou amp kit at the same time to pair with the k701's.

Bought a pair of Westone UM2 after endless hours of comparing reviews of various IEMs here and going off initial recommendations from a friend in the live sound production industry (he uses Livewires & HD280). I absolutely love them, still playing around with the tips though. Cost me $250 new.

Also bought a cheap Go-Vibe USB DAC to get around the MBP's crappy on-board sound and am waiting for an attenuator to fix the noise issue. Hoping to get a Pico (?) amp/DAC in the future.

The BeyerDynamic DT770 pro 80 ohm.
My first post was a question about closed headphones without sibilance. Nobody gave the correct answer at the time, which is: DT150

after afew years of reading i went for the hfi-780 afew weeks back,the change from the px100 is not slight its astronomical , im astounded by the way the music is felt ,so much texture,like another dimension has been added(almost better than been there) if anything can sound better i really want to hear it

My first purchase was Etymotic ER-4P ($220) and the P->S ($60?) adapter.
Still love them and use them a lot.

My first full-size headphones were Grado SR-225 ($190?)
Still have and love them too, although I tend to use them a lot less.
I really like the bass and overall presentation.

Senns HD280. Quickly returned to the store for Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80s. One of the best investments I've ever made. I now have an iBasso D2 Boa on the way
