for me it would be no doubt the 660s s2
the tuning is just right and i belive they will last me more then 10 years

Meze Empyrean. I love my Stax L700Mk2 but as a daily driver it just isn’t as comfortable and easy listening.

Yeah they just feel so well put together and they look amazing too. I love that they have a big soundstage and have thumpy bass which is a rarity ime. The comfort really can't be understated, they are much more comfortable than both the 800S and the Arya/HE1K.

Utopia 2022, mostly perfect with some omissions that are easy to live with, and among the TOTL offerings, sounds the closest to a pair of great box speakers in a well set up room.

T1 gen 2, besides some iems (s12, zero reds, nanna 2.0) its the only headphone ive got left. Sold/traded the rest, still looking for a nice planar though.

Hifiman Arya stealth since it's comfortable, and the fit and finish is really good. I never wanted to equalize them the couple times I had one.

For me it would probably be the HiFiMAN Susvara - for about 6 years they have been one of my all time favourite headphones.

I am trying to stay with Utopia 22, if I ever get into money problems I would probably reduce to a used mm-500 (still think it is underrated) or some Beyerdynamic with some small dac/amp combination.

Onkyo A800. Could drive it with anything and rewards you nicely with better synergy gear. Does everything right with the genres I like especially with the electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals.

Reasons:

1. Expensive - can be pawned in an emergency for a decent amount if needed.
2. Very well made - all metal with leather pads that won't wear out.
3. Sounds great with everything - never sounds harsh and doesn't need EQ.
4. Comfortable - most comfy headphone I own.
5. Perfect size - won't look like a dork in public.

Hifiman Arya Organic - comfortable, sounds clean and with good timbre - and pretty to look at - and don't cost a fortune.

Hifiman HE1000 Stealth. Easy choice for me, as it's the only set I have that's on this level. The rest of my gear is good for the price, but the HEKS outperforms all of them pretty easily, and is super comfy at the same time

KOSS KPH40 with EQ. Sounds good enough with everything and has all-day comfort.
