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

At the office, Fiio K5 Pro and Beyer DT150. The Beyer 770 gets all the love but I prefer the 150, especially for the office where I can't EQ. The 150 still has that deep bass extension like the 770, but the mids are less scooped, and most importantly, there's no agonizing 9khz treble spike. The soundstage and imaging takes a hit for probably related reasons, but it's still at least average in that regard, if not still above average. And these isolate extremely well; I work in a library so any noise leaked out is a problem. I can crank the volume plenty high enough for a fun time before too much sound leaks out.

Just a great jack-of-all-trades kind of headphone. Perfectly competent with all kinds of music, and sounds great right off the rack, no EQ needed like with the 770. A bit hard to drive, though, being 250ohm. But the K5 Pro on mid or high gain can handle it fine.

Clear MGs > Peter Gabriel / Growing Up Live (vinyl - remaining sides). I wasn't pleased with the sound of the previous configuration, so I switched from the Aeolus to the Clear's. Turns out that the recording is just not that great. Highs sound compressed.

Why can I imagine you listening to ‘Highway To Hell’ (AC/DC) right after ‘Cecilia’?…😂
