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

HiBy R8II + Qobuz + Empire Ears Raven (AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC) + Astral Acoustics Pulse 🐦‍⬛ 🖤

I was a teenager in the 90’s and I remember getting this album in one of Columbia House’s 10 CD’s for $1 mail in order promos.
Still one of my favorite Alt/Grunge rock albums of all-time.

Who could have guessed that Billy Corgan would become our generation's Ted Nugent?

One of my favorite things about the specialized tuning of the Sivga Nightingale is the unlikely bedfellows they create. Doom metal and midcentury jazz both sound fantastic on these things. Fun double-feature.

I’ve had the HD650 for years. The HD600 are equally great. Just with a slightly different sound signature.
I had the HD650 before, but I like the 600's more as the 650 had a tad too much upper bass for my taste. Like the 600's slightly more lean sound better. But both are very good in their own way 👌

Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT

DC-Elite / Szalayi

Unsure what it is but I just cannot get into her stuff. It’s really well made but idk… on paper she should be one of my favorite artists, all the pieces are there. Interesting how that is.
My feelings exactly. Just listened to it all yesterday and thought it had great production. Billie sounded beautiful. But there is something lacking that pulls me in fully. Sum of the whole I guess.

Continuing the Emapea trip, with their latest album. Great for concentrated work sessions at the PC :)

The great beats are delivered by the Fiio Q15 and Letshouer S12 Pro, so simple, so great!

Ancient Grado 325 with some flat pads from I don't remember where seem to be suiting the current state of my hearing (which includes a fair amount of high freq loss).
After not paying attention for quite a few years, listening from my phone with a $20 pair of buds, after a friend bought new phones and an amp, I just hauled everything out last night to see what I liked. Grado still wins, from everything, for me.

(Ha! Just looked at my last previous post, in 2007, and this is exactly what I said there, too. :)
