After selling my HD555, I'm back down to one full-sized headphone. Does anyone else here have one full-sized phone? If so, what is it, and what do you listen to with it?

I'll start. I've got an AD700 that I listen to everything with. Right now, I'm on Rilo Kiley.

Not sure that i qualify, but i have 1 headphone, and dont know if having an IEM and a fullsize headphone can be considered as having 1 full size headphone :p

anyway i currently only have a fullsize headphone and dont plan to get another fullsize, maybe an portable one/ on-ear ones.

Mainly for gaming, music, movie/tv shows watching at home on the computer. And if i want portable at the office.

Yeap, only one pair of full-sized headphones. I don't plan to have more than one at a time. Team Entry-Level chiming in with Denon AH-D1001s. However, I'm currently listening with HD25s, which I'm loving more each day. I shall collect portables, I think...

Yes

AD700's. Everything.

Although I would like to buy back the DT880's once the dollar gets higher. I only sold them because the dollar was so low that I could make a profit and because I wanted to buy a new cellphone.

I would also like to get some Lambda's at some point.

HD25-1 for everything, everywhere.

Home listening, movies and games, portable listening, and I can use it for sound/dialogue editing while I'm in class.

I acquired a bit of cash recently with which I was planning to use to overhaul my desktop rig as well as buy another phone (HD580/600). But since I'm pretty happy with what I have (!) I went and spent it on another more important toy (a Cintiq 12WX for $1700NZ).

Somehow I don't see myself splurging on headphone gear anymore. It's probably a good thing, with the economy as it is. I'd rather buy CDs.

I'm still looking for that "one headphone to rule them all" but sadly haven't found it yet

Thinking about the mentined HD25-1 and SR60.



Very good question. I have a pair of Denon AH-D1001's and a Pair of Ultrasone Pro 750's (Both mentioned in this thread) EDIT

sorry the 780's were mentioned not the 750's) I personally dont consider the Denons to be full size as the sit ON the ear more than over the ear..
IMHO.
