I'm in the process of selling the majority of these; it doesn't make sense for me to keep so much gear when I spend almost all my home time listening through the SR850, HD668B, and SR950.

Samson SR850
Superlux HD668B
Samson SR950
Grado PS1000
Sennheiser HD650
Superlux HD681
Grado SR325i
AKG K701
Panasonic RP-HJE120

1. Auglamour R8 (The flagship)
2. EMX500 (I won't bother with another earbud for a while because its bass is sooo good)
3. QCY Q19 (Very very convenient while I am at work)
4. Narmoo S1 (Almost gave it away before giving it another try)
5. Monster iSport Strive (Mid centric with light bass but the fit is good for riding my bike and minimizing wind noise)

  1. Focal Elear/ Shure SE846 (Absolutely love this style of sound signature... Warm and Crystal Clear... If Warm but neutral leaning is a thing... )
  2. AKG K872
  3. Shure SRH1540
  4. Shure SE535
  5. Shure SE215
  6. Bose QC35
  7. V-Moda XS
So things have changed... The AKG K872 was a little to sterile for my tastes.. but none the less a beautiful headphone if one prefers neutral... almost flat headphones. As a result, I exchanged it for another SE846 and SE215BT.

I also picked up the MrSpeakers Aeon, and I have to say I enjoy this headphone a lot with the foam filters installed.

  1. Shure SE846 (W/Surf Cables)
  2. Mr. Speakers Aeon
  3. Focal Elear
  4. Shure SE535
  5. Shure SRH1540
  6. Shure SE215BT/ SE215
  7. Bose QC35
  8. V-Moda XS

It was time for me to revisit this thread after many years off canvas. You see, work and moving has been eating up most of my time, leaving me little if any time to discuss headphones. Plus, I have greatly reduced my headphone collection after buying so many "good" pairs years ago.

It's now down to three headphones that I have in my regular rotation (there are a few other headphones that I still own but I won't mention those since I have not been using them much). These three are (in the order of my own personal preference):

1) Sony MDR-7506
2) Audio Technica ATH-M50x
3) Beats Solo 2
