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

Can you tell me something about those Music Master headphones. I have always liked planars, I have the Hifiman Edition X v2
I purchased these through another person on Head Fi, He modded them, and gave me a pretty good deal.

I bought them to compare against the Hifiman Ananda I sold, IMOHO, they are clearer sounding than the Ananda, albeit not as wide of sound stage, not as much boom, but they respond to eq better than the Ananda's.

They do take a bit more juice to drive, but do sound nice for being closed headphones.

When I first got them I thought they were congested sounding, but, I came to realize I just needed the right DAC and amp combo at least to my hearing.

They sound very nice and have to me a good sound stage and enough boom and slam as to keep my brain and ears engaged.

I'm listening to Dream Theater A Change Of Season, busy without distraction, very enjoyable.

Here they are

I didn't pay that much, they are worth what I paid for them

Gold Planar GL2000 tonight -- I've owned these for much of the year but had lent them out very early on and so this is maybe the 2nd session I've had with them since getting them back a week ago and man... I really dig these. Very fun to listen to -- great layering, instrument separation is nice, big sound -- a pleasurable listen.

Started the day going back to my HE6se V2's out of the iFi Pro iCAN with extra features jacked! :ksc75smile:
First reaction was great bass, but lacks the clarity of the LSA HP-2's.

I had meant to do a head to head clarity test between the HD660's and the HP-2's, but forgot. So I tossed the HD660's on the Liquid Platinum and plugged in.
UGH NO! After my last two headphones these sound so thin as to not be there. I think they may be headed out the door before Christmas.

Back to the HE6se V2's... :L3000:
