For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

[Columbia: February, 1971.] The first track, “Right Off”, has some of the most testosterone - laden trumpet playing by anyone….ever.

Since I (finally) managed to get my grubby paws on the AudioQuest NightOwl Carbon (yesterday), I've been using it exclusively over the last 2 days.

Dark, brooding, silky-smooth, lush, emotive. Good adjectives to describe the NightOwl. :)

Currently listening to 2 Unlimited - No Limit. Classic track. :L3000:

Curious to read your thoughts. When the Audioquest HP's were discontinued and discounted, I went by the local store and spent an hour and a half testing out the NightOwl Carbons, Grado PS500e's and Nighthawks. The only ones that I liked were the Carbons and happily took them home.
A month later I hated them and sold them as fast as possible.
It was lesson that an in-store demo doesn't mean a whole lot.:ksc75smile:

Ah, 2 Unlimited. Brings back some great memories from some seriously questionable venues! You made the right choice going wireless with the Owls, too :stuck_out_tongue:

Currently listening to The Very Best Of Supertramp with my TH900 and it's s stellar experience.
Go wireless, like you said to that guy in the 9200s thread :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I didn't know that you like Supertramp. I knew them because my father is a lover of their music (I would love to have lived in the 70's when a lot of people listen to that music while smoking some forbidden things :relieved:... making the psychedelic rock more digestible :beerchug: ). It's curious because I was listening to "Queen - A kind of magic" and when I started to write this the next album of my rock playlist started and guess it: Supertramp - Paris (1980), I love this album with the HD 800 but with the 9200s the treble is irritating my ears :slight_frown:. I swapped to Pink Floyd - Animals and is a better experience.

At least it isn’t “Helter Skelter” from the ‘White Album’ 😜
