i went through many cheaper-than-crap chinese cans when 12 years old, these things are like plague here
bought the sony mdr 100 2 years ago, then they broke after 5 months, went for the creative ep 630 then the beyer dtx 900 only 3 months later
bought the hd 495 + xmod 4 months ago, and for the first time ever have i heard such thing in my life

only knew this evil site 2 months ago, and it finally makes me dying for a ld mk 3 and the akg 701 now

Before collecting all these high end equipments, I was a big fan of entry level IEMs, ie. the er6i and the E2C. But once I decided to give the E5C a shot(a HUGE upgrade), there was no turning back.... get ready to empty your wallet in headfi!~ cheers

I'm too cheap for high end, unless you consider high end to be a MDR-V6 and the JVC Ear Cushions.

Also, I would feel awful if I bought expensive headphones and promptly broke them. I break things a lot, unfortunately.

I found head-fi and got into "higher" end stuff.

I needed an alternative to playing video games with the sound down for late night or early morning gaming sessions while my girlfriend was sleeping. I like to do a lot of research before purchasing anything, so if I was going to buy a pair a headphones, I wanted them to be good ones.

The research started and eventually I made it here to Head-Fi. What started as a quest for simple gaming use has evolved into something much bigger. I am appreciating my music at totally different levels now and in fact, use my cans for music listening more often than anything else.

I'm not even started with the high end stuff yet.. i'm still low- mid range..

I was browsing hardforum and came across a thread in the computer audio subforum. The poster had mentioned how great his DT 770 Pro and linked a head-fi thread. At first, I thought these guys were nuts, buying $100+ headphones and amps. Then I got sucked in.
