AKG K1000's

No, it never happened to me with a new-bought headphone. With a bit of generosity the PortaPro may count as headphone with the cklicking factor, but that's on a less perfectionist level.

The R10 and particularly the Orpheus (edit: not to forget its little brother, the HE 60!) came closest to the real click when I auditioned them -- unfortunately I never owned them.

My answer is Hd595

After some burning in of course =))

after my wallet is healed, im gonna try and get an X-can V3 and K701

Nope. And considering that most of my headphones are bought brand-spankin-new...I wouldn't expect to be blown away by anything. But after a fair burn-in, I've been amazed by a few.

The only thing that can came really close to wow'ing me straight out of the box was the Shure E500. I was simply blown away by the depth of the bass and the clean high's with accurate mids. If you ever find "your perfect" IEM, the in-your-head sound can never be replicated by any open cans or speakers...NOT that it's a "better" sound, just that it's unique.

Hmm....I'd say my ad2000 and previously owned RS-2. I remembered the day i tried both. The ad2000 made my hair on my arms stand. The RS-2 made me feel something was thumping my chest. Both were amazing feelings.

DT990 2k5 as compared to MS1. Hit the spot in every department.

 

[zle83]

For me the Shure E4Cs and the AKG K701s. Moreso the 701s.... The break in concept is nonsensical.

Biggie.

I think that audiophiles, by their very nature, tend not to ever be satisfied no matter how good the sound is. It can always be better. There's always that one step up from the model you have.

Having said that, I was very pleased with my HD-497s the moment I put them on. They didn't cost a lot, are very easy to drive and sound very acceptable (especially if the quality of the recording is good). Of course, I'd upgrade in a second if I could afford it (and someday might even though I can't).

PS-1

GS1000 did not hit the spot immediately - that beauty needed some time to work its magic.

is that why some of them have 5-6 pair?

everyone seeking "opulent perfection"

 

[fureshi]

out of the box, to me these cans sounded just right, especially connected to my woo3:
ms2
rs1
hd650
qualia010

HD 595 / 120's on my SP PPX3-6SN7.

 

[lmilhan]

Yes, mutilple eargasms for me in no particular order:

AKG K1000s
STAX Lambda Pro
GS-1000s
KSC-75s
SR-60s
RS-1s
RS-2s
SR-225s
HF-1s
HP-2s
AKG K81 DJs

All of which got even better as I fine tuned my rig(s).

For me it was the SONY MDR-CD3000 and It still do that everytime I put it one.
