What Headphone do you just know you're gonna buy?

[The Monkey]

When I first started this hobby, I thought $100 would be my limit on a set of cans--period. Hah! Now that reality has set in, it's time for me to admit to myself where I'm heading. So here's what I know are in my future, whether I like it or not. I don't know exactly when, but I will, at some point buy:

- UE-10
- RS-1
- HD-650

What about you folks?

HP-1000 and possibly R-10.

 

[crazyfrenchman27]

UE-10 in the next few weeks.

Stax 007!!! If they come out with a better model, that one then.

Tempted to try a pair of IEM's. Maybe the Westone UM2's will do it for me. Never tried a set of IEM's before so now would be a good time.

full size headphones there is nothing that tickles my fancy.

Well, it won't be a UE-10. Can't fathom buying something that I could never sell. Just no loyalty to my gear I supose but ain't no piece of equipment sacred to me.

Guess I'd go with an HE60, PS-1 and the L3000.

HF-1's...

But I pretty much know someday I'll get Ps-1's, L3000's, and HP-2's with an SDS XLR, it's kind of like my "dream rig".

I think I would love to buy a pair of Black Grado sr-325's. I hear they are pretty special.

Speaking of no loyalty, are you tired of that Moth yet?

You know you shouldn't encourage him.

 

[HiGHFLYiN9]

L3000s someday, maybe the L3000G if I can find one

 

[1967cutlass]

i kinda want to try recabling the dt990's that haven't even arrived in the mail yet

 

[rsaavedra]

Ok I know I will succumb to the K701.

 

[ynohtna]

I'd like to try the SA5000's and the HP-DX1000 ,hopefully within this year.

I can't pinpoint the cans I'll buy specifically, but I know I'm going to buy the following sometime in the future:

- Some model in the Audio-Technica woodie or leather series; probably something that isn't out yet
- The newest model of Stax when I have enough money
- Grado PS-1 or AKG K701; whew, huge price difference, I know
