…Strange, contented place to be in!

…don’t worry, you’ll get unused to it…and move on…

My opinion on this seems to change over time, but at the Moment I Think 4-5 is a max for me.
With 5 I start to Think about selling a headphone every now and then.
I can never decide on which one, because when I pick them up I'm like "these sound so unique I can't sell them"

At that amount they all get ample playtime, but with more ...

You would have more spare time to listen to music (instead of redacting your signature) with less headphones

Three optimized and complementary is max.

Or maybe that's three full suite rigs.

This is like asking how many cats is too many.

 

[NotJeffBuckley]

No such thing!

If I really wanted to enjoy and fully appreciate what I have, I think I'd want to stay below 5 for sure. Sadly, I'm at a point where I'm buying more headphones just to collect them and satisfy my curiosity, rather than to fully appreciate and enjoy the sound of them.

Unfortunately, probably 60% of HPs I own have less than 10hrs of listening time in total. The only HP that I can say with certainty that I have more than several hundred hours of use is my HD650.

On average, I listen to music maybe 5-6 hrs a day on a good day. And roughly half of those, I'm on my nearfield monitors. And probably another hour or so, I'm on my IEMs, and another hour, car audio and bt speakers.

So yeah, there's such thing as having too many.

43 is too many

 

[DTgill]

Too many headphones?

One can't have too many...

I want to clarify my answer from earlier today. That’s based on my current income and budget. If I win the lottery this answer changes to “all of them! Except maybe grado.”

As long as you have the space, money and time to enjoy them I'd say the "limit" is pretty high.

In my case it does come with some trade offs though such my wife calling my office "the electronics hell"

I was waiting for your reply in this thread BTW, you were very sincere in your reply.

I love your Hedds Type MK2 but is imposible to me to deal with room resonances, so I'll stay with my Fostex PM1 MK2...
