And how many are in "regular rotation", say 1 day a week?
 
Six pairs for me, 3 in regular rotation.   The other three are worthy as well, just not as good as the top 3.  I should probably switch up a little more, the ones not in regular use may sound different / better than I remember them.  Also have two well respected full-sized cans that don't get much regular use, including Senn HD600.

Pretty much I use 3 regularly with a DAP for each. I had 8-9 at one stage but it becomes overwhelming when you tend to dedicate your listening time to your favourite gear only. 3 is enough to keep switching things up and keep boredom at bay. If you haven't used something for a few months move it on, no point keeping it around imo. That's natural selection telling you that piece of gear needs to go.

Too many! I keep buying them trying to find what I am looking for, then I go back to a set that I have not used in a while and sometimes become amazed at how good they sound! But to be honest, " I still haven't found what I'm for!" At my last count about 4 sets in regular use and another 6 in my spares box, oh and my Sennheiser HD598's.

I have way too many, look at my signature.

So many have to go, will probably do a end of year sale :wink:

My current heavy rotation iems:
Noble K10
AAW AH3Pro custom
FLC 8S
Aurisonics ASG 2.5, Harmony
JVC HA-FX850
RHA T20
Shozy Zero
LZ-A3

I use one iem for 2-3 days then swap. Use them mostly at work and sometimes when out and about. It helps me for reviews to change a lot and stay alert about the differences.

Next to review is W80 - am very excited to hear that one soon.

Cheers...
