You didn't mention which headphone YOU would choose!

 

[NeObliviscaris]

Of the ones I own:

Grado SR80s, so comfy with the 414 pads, sound heavenly!

 

[limathy]

for me its probably my ksc75's, cause i need portability,
sure theres better in the hifi-world, but at 20 dollars definitely one of the best buys ever

Depends on the available system(s) and circumstances.

If it's for anything/everything/all possible circumstances for the rest of my life then I'd be looking at something that would sound good anywhere and last, even on a desert island. Probably my Livewires.

But if everything else is constantly available and the only limitation is one headphone at any point in time then it'll be my HE60s - they're just the best sounding set I've got ATM.

R10's of course.

They sound fantastic and really give me a sense of what the recording is like. Very detailed, tonally accurate, balanced and dynamic.

The other huge advantage is that they're closed and even though they don't isolate a lot, they do so enough to block out most external sound and don't leak sound when I share my study with my wife.

Also, aesthetically to me, they are very pleasing.

I already did this, E500's was my choice because their sonic signature just seems to suit me and overall they're very versatile because being so compact and portable I can take them with me and use them pretty much anywhere.

er-4p's with shure olives. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

It would be torture to be without the Grados, but I'd probably go with the AKG K-1000. Does great with every genre I've thrown at it and the speaker-like qualities are matched by nothing else.

Still, I'd be sorely tempted to keep the HP-2 over the K-1000. Tough call.

 

[Zorander]

It's a tough choice between the HD-650 & K340, but since I have lately been spending more time with the latter, I will go with the K340.

 

[LuciferBox]

grado SR-80, amazing

 

[Bozz_Keren]

does earphone count?
it will be PK1 because its comfortable and portable

 

[sai-bot]

What kind of question is this?

Well, it all depends on the given circumstances. I'd probably buy an Omega II and that's it...

Or do you mean "affordable" headphones?

 

[ph0rk]

something I could carry around but still enjoy wherever I was.

Probably a KSC35/HD25/dt-250
