How many headphones do you *actually* use?

[Jasonharkin]

None at the moment as I am headphoneless

 

[mmmmcheese]

I have 4 pairs but I really only use my DT770s for gaming and ocasional listening. But for the most part I use my speakers.

 

[YamiTenshi]

I have three pairs and I use all of them in rotation depending on my mood and enviroment. Though I do plan to evetually retire my ksc75 for grado sr60s.

Two: one for the left ear and one for the right ear

j/k

But truly, right now two: KSC-35's (main) and Shure E3c's.
I own four, but the other two are sleeping in my Gringots vault

(Also have cheapo Panasonics which I shoudn't even mention, have only used those just in case for testing the Dynahi before using "real" headphones with it. Also, recently got the Ipod Mini which came with the buds, but don't use the Ipod buds at all)

 

[azncookiecutter]

Three.

Home: Eggos
School: EX71s
Everywhere else: Shure E2Cs

I have 3

1. Sony MDR-e888lp = use at the office

2. Shure e4c, UM2 = portable use

3. Westone UM2 = Home Listening

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Only one pair at a time.

 

[YamiTenshi]

Actually I think I can wear all three of my headphones at once. I just have to overlap them (hd280, ksc75, e2c). I'll give it a try when I get home.

This is an interesting thread and a good question. I mostly only use two:

DT531 at home, and V6 for field recording and computer.

I'm very proud that I forced myself to sell my A500's, but I can't quite make myself sell the little-used KSC35's yet. They sound just so darn GOOD for $25!

Plus the appropriate sources/amps, naturally.
Unfortunately I can't afford what I need.

This month I only listened through the K1000 and a borrowed HE 60.
And through a HE 90 and an Omega II at a mini-meet.
And a Stax Lambda for 10 minutes.
The Lambda sucks, comparatively.
Fortunately it's quite easy to sell.

I just use two. My Alessandro MS-1 is my home headphone, but I find I'm using it more and more on the go.

I use a Koss KSC75 for absolute portability and physical activity.

 

[John2e]

Sensa 2x for portable use

Grado PS-1 home

Senn Wireless for late night TV

HD-650's for sale (shameless plug)

 

[jonnyhambone]

3 each week - SR125's for home and studio time, E3's with Ipod, and sometimes with KSC 35's. two's fine but canal's are hard if you're interacting with folks...plus, I want an open sound after some time with canal's and vice versa...35's are good for walkin' the dog or hangin' in the garden-time...not as demanding as my E3's I guess.

 

[Borat]

Sennheiser HD600 (Cardas) - quiet listening at home

Koss KSC/35 - portable

Sennheiser MX400 - running on the treadmill

While at the computer, communicating with Head-Fi, etc., I split time about equally between a K1000, and a K340. Then, for critical listening, it's an R10. Sometimes I also listen to an RS-1, but less than to the others. When in libraries, I use an ety ER4P/S. So, it's five headphones.
