Ok, so you find yourself in an hypothetical situation where you can only keep one headphone. Which one would you keep ? You don't have to explain why but you can if you wish.

In my case : it would be the Sennheiser HD600.

I'm done with what headphones I have. However if I am still pursuing a one and only I would go with a 009 and a BHSE because 25 years from now this combo would still sound superb.

Sennheiser HD600 because it’s comfortable and the sound is balanced overall. There’s better headphones but sometimes better details and better bass and highs can be a distraction. Also, since the HD600 is cheap in price ( especially open box stock) I don’t worry about it being destroyed or damaged. It’s like a comfortable pair of old blue jeans,

Tough one. My Utopia, or HE-6? Probably the former, but not an easy question. Question hopefully becomes easier when I get Abyss Phi TC relatively soon.

HD25 : versatile, great sound out of most things with almost infinite 'scalability' Can last a lifetime. Rugged enough to survive nuclear armageddon . Every part available and easily changed.
Only headphone anyone needs imo

I might be the only one, but I’d keep my modified HD580 Precisions over my HD600. Both wonderful, but the 580s have been in my arsenal forever and they still hold their own. A touch less sophisticated, but more fun at a party.... Plus, all of the Senns in that series are like cockroaches - you can’t kill ‘em!
