whats that thing next to your IEM's?

EDIT: also, what is the point of having multiple pairs of headphones? I dont get why you would have so many pairs if you find one that sounds good enough and just listen to that.

Are you referring to his iPod Nano w/ Watchband?

Next to my IEM's is the Nano 6g in a TikTok watch band.
 
If you have to ask why I "need" so many headphones, you have obviously found one that does everything for you, and I envy you. I am a bit OCD (like most people here). As a result:

1. I have IEM's for when I am out and traveling.
2. For long flights I use the SRH840's;
3. At night I use the D7000.
4. The K701 was my first pair of open phones and as most people who have owned them; they took me on a search for an amp to drive them to their full ability and educated me about desktop amps. I still use them for movies and certain types of music. 
5. Everyone who likes rock music needs to have at least one pair of Grados, and why not the HF-2. I also have a pair of Magnum's coming at which point I may sell the HF-2, or not.
6. Lastly, the HE5-LE is a new purchase to see if I want to go further down the Planar path.

Hope that helps to answer your "question".

Which laptop is that, and is it running your external monitor as well? I was looking for a Mac Mini around there some place, but just can't seem to find one..

I hope you don't take this personally but WOW those custom molds look HUGE. Do you have big ears, or is it an optical illusion?

I don't think my ears are big.
Anyhow, my mom always told me it was not the size of your ears but how you used them.

lol BTW how are you liking that headstage arrow? I have pinpointed it down to either this amp or the ALO Rx for my next major portable amp upgrade. Will be using it with my Sflo 2 on the go and would like some comments if possible. Will be using my Sennheiser IE7/IE8's with them. Will probably opt for the Shure SE535 down the road and who knows what else lol.

I think the Arrow is still the best deal in portable amps. I previously had the Rx and sold it once I compared it to the Arrow. I was using the Rx  with the Sflo mostly and there was negligible improvement. However, with the arrow there is improvement in clarity and I love the bass boost. The "giant" IEM's are in fact reshelled SE530's and the Sflo+Arrow (bass boost I)+SE530 are my favorite portable combo for long flights and coffee shops.
However, I do hear that the new ALO Rx MKII is much improved but at twice the size and $150 more I don't see myself switching back.
