Today, my spousal assignment required that I clean out my "junk" closet in the basement. I don't call it junk, you can guess who does

I found many feet of discarded wires, an Apple Newton, adapters and cables. As I was pulling them out what dangled by the cord, but a Sennheiser 650 HD! I couldn't remember if they had died or I was simply lured away by newer headphones.

So, I rushed to my headphone amp. and sure enough the dusty headphones powered up. What a treat! What the heck was wrong with me? These beauties are going to join my other headphones on the stand next to my amp. and DAC.

Aye, you're a fine treasure hunter, lad! I had a similar experience with a pair of very modest M30X's that were very early acquisitions for me. They lack a lot, but there was still some sort of nostalgic magic they possessed for me. Lots of fun. Nice thread.

Actually, I found an old pair of headphones and fell in love for the first time. Having finally bought a desktop amp after nearly 10 years of owning a 250ohm DT880. Hearing them properly powered was basically like hearing them for the first time.

I remembered i had a pair of HD25's over the weekend and sought them out, immediately fell in love with them. Used them for sounddesk monitoring / mixing in the past , not listening to music for relaxation so never really appreciated them and never compared them, now i realise what I had been missing.

I used to own a pair of Grado SR60 but I gave it to a friend. I’m sure if I saw a pair, I would enjoy it. Even though they’re basically budget headphones, I thought they were pleasant overall. Maybe I might buy a pair again.
