if you only had one headphone to live with the rest of your life, which would it be? from what you currently have

Probably the 660S. Just a great all-around headphone that sounds good with everything I throw at it. The downside would be that it's open-back and I'm not always in a quiet environment. In that case, I'd want the NightOwl, but the NightOwl is a long-discontinued headphone with a headband prone to falling apart. I need to move on from the NightOwl, but I find it difficult to do so since no closed-back has the same combination of sound, isolation, and comfort.

For me the one headphone that can do it all is the Focal Clear/Elex. The mids I want, the bass I need and as much treble as required.

HE-6 SE because with PEQ, my power, mods, and DAC it covers almost everything very well.

If it's my only can then comfort would be as important as performance. I'd be tempted to say the Elite since for my head it's incredibly comfortable and is a great all-around performer with no terrible/glaring weakness.

Susvara.

Has the best mids of any headphone I have heard. Great mid to treble balance. Dynamic bass when powered right. Also very comfortable.

Although I have had him since August and it can be considered "the honeymoon period", for the moment the LCD 5 remain on the podium. They are expensive, but with a bit of EQ they beat all my headphones in all sections.

Currently Arya Organic from what I have heard. I’ve Never had a chance to hear any Utopia variant, I own the Clear MG but recently sold them after the acquisition of the Arya.
But Id love to hear the Utopia and form that opinion.
