AKG 701's ($200, which I then discovered I had to get an amp to listen to properly.. whoops)

Next I picked up RS-1's as I have realized that I miss listening to rock and I hate that my crappy computer speakers produce a better rendition of dark side of the moon than my K701's.

In the beginning I went with ER 6i's, loved em, then UE SF 3's, gave them away with in a month, and now I have Shure scl5's, at first I was weary now I love them. Next on the list is SR 225 with alo cups and headcoverage headband.

Picked up a few sets of ksc75s for me and my friends, stumbled on headfi looking at the Kramer mod :] Just picked up a pair of dt770s last week and opened up my Zero this morning ;D

koss porta pro in 2004 based on opinions here.

Sennheiser HD 595, been listening to them for around 12 hours now and I'm REALLY enjoying what I'm hearing...

Ultrasone HFI-700DVD - loved them and ditched the Bose QC2.

HD600 the same week as the HFI-700 - they sounded bland at first and sent me on a quest to find a proper amp for them, and within 6-8 weeks I had the Dark Voice 336i to drive them properly.

I still have both of them today, despite my huge inventory or big list of things I've sold.

Well, I had my HD600 before I came to head-fi, so I don't know if this counts but it was an AKG 240 studio (though the first headphone bought that resulted from head-fi was a AKG 240 sextett LP). I paid a bit over $200 from memory and couldn't be happier with it (not very detailed but a beautifully smooth mid range).

Head-fi to me as been more usefull with regards to dac's and amps.

I was split between the MDR-V6 and K81DJ. Bought the MDR-V6 but decided they were too ridiculous to use for commuting, which was my original application. Returned them and switched them for the K81DJs. The K81DJ cable promptly broke after a few months of service. Bought Shure E2Cs, then Ultimate Ears super.fi 3. When the UEs broke I picked up some Skullcandies to keep me going until I found the next big thing (it was an emergency of sorts so my choices were limited).

I loved the MDR-V6, the K81DJs are good but very clampy. Loved the Shure and UEs. Hate the Skullcandies, very bad SQ.

Denon C700's based on reviews I read here, fantastic set of earphones! Got'em during the amazon sale for 100 bucks.

Stax SR-007BL

..not bad eh?!

 

[melmac]

JVC HA-RX900's bought them after reading the thread on this forum about how good they were for the money.

And, Yes, I was/am very impressed by them!!

 

[thismike]

I got the Koss KSC75 almost two years ago when there was a sale.

 

[dave650]

I got sennheiser 650s without knowing what good cans are, so I was lucky, but since joining headfi I have got beyerdynamic DT990s and soonish I'll probably get Ultrasone Pro 900s, I think they're called

 

[crzystng]

I ended up buying some Denon D2000's from a lot of research both here and OCN. Overall impressed with them although there are a few areas that could be worked on.

HD600 after a ridiculous amount of research and I love them to death. I'm still in the burn in process. Only had them for 2 days but I've listened to them for over 10 hours.
