"Comfortably Numb" off Pink Floyd's P.U.L.S.E. album, through a pair of HD280 Pros.

Second time was same headphones, Nightwish's "Meadows of Heaven" off their new album Dark Passion Play.

And from that moment I was hooked on cans.

Heh, now that I think about it I had a similar experience. I dubbed the Mechwarrior 2 game soundtrack onto a cassette tape by plugging some headphones into the CD-ROM drive and strapping them onto a portable tape recorder (I actually did it several times to get the levels right and block out any external noise). Despite the poor fidelity of the dub and some crappy little headphones of unknown manufacture, I still remember listening to that tape while laying in bed at night, completely enthralled by it.

I'd probably puke if I listened to those headphones with what I know now, good thing they're long gone.

Ahh -- the things we had to do for our music in the early days.

I remember hooking wires right to the speaker terminals on a radio (no jacks in those days!), and from there to a little cassette-tape recorder, and capturing all the tunes from a special radio show one day, that featured all the top music of the day, back-to-back. I listened to that "special" tape until it fell apart. Loved the music then, still ove it now.

hd600's after thinking a pair of hd212's would suffice for a number of years at least. Ahh the simple years, rich(er) however

Shure E2's. I was easy to please back then. The isolation and frequency response meant I could have some pretty serious sound delivered before, after, and sometimes during class. Running right from an iHP-120, I was blissfully ignorant to amps and the notion of spending what I do now on audio.
