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

Spending time with other headphones makes returning to these so much sweeter.

PC > Roon > Intona Isolator > Mojo 2 > Singxer SA-1 > Hifiman HE6se v2

The vibes (literal, not symbolic ones) on this new Mary Halvorson album are incredible. But so is Halvorson's guitar playing.

Domino Theory (1984) by Weather Report - A little fusion to finish with tonight (this morning) and Weather Report are probably my favourite guitar-less provider. Went with the HD650 tonight as they haven't had any head time in ages. I'm thinking they could do with new pads and headband cushion as they are seriously old and are pretty worn out - they still sound good though and that's the main thing. :darthsmile:

Testing out Audirvana... still with my current mobile setup: ifi micro iDSD > LCD-1 (without eq, but I've used to listen with tone booster plugin, was better than Embody and contrary to Audeze/Embody plugin it works flawlessly with old version of Audirvana).

Great for weekend easy start when outside both snow, rain and wind rule the weather.

Usually I prefer "The Maene Sessions" album but I haven't been listening to "The Studio sessions" for quite some time.

Glad I've taken with me Meze Advars since I already miss their sound. Sad I haven't taken Mojo or Mojo 2 with me too to switch from ifi for particular tracks. Mojo 2 transparency is amazing considering the package size while Mojo magic is always strong, especially when I haven't been listening to it for a while and I switch from a different rig.

Overall while listening to Rob van Bavel album I do miss my T+A headphones or AuroraSound HEADA with Empys. Meze Advars give me a fraction of HEADA+Empys feeling. After spending few months with Audeze MM-500 the LCD-1 sounds fine, but not as good as they used to be. MM-500 have great synergy with Signature but they are problematic for transportation and original trasport case is rather big. Makes me wonder about MM-100 but considering quality issues I'm only interested in demo.

Loving it so far!

Very "different" album for me. I listened because of the involvement of David Chesky and his "The Audiophile Society". He produces some of the best recordings around. Maybe this album isn't my cup of tea, but it's perfect on a Saturday morning, drinking my morning cup of tea! Anyway, Roon/Qobuz => Yggy GS2 => Jot2 => RS1x

Sony IER-Z1R
Chord Poly/MOJO 2 on micro SD
The build of the Z1R is superb but I have always had trouble with the sound quality. Found them lacking and over rated compared to earlier XBA-Z5.
Strayed off the beaten path and grabbed a few 24 352.8 2xHD Fusion albums today. Found the Sony niche.

A truly trial to a pair of headphones with very bad recorded material... Listening to the first "Lacrimas Profundere" album (La naissance d'un rêve) with the 58Xs. They can manage well, the cymbals are not going to destroy your ears like with some Beyers and the slightly pronounced bass of these cans works very good with it:
