What headphones do you have, and what do you still want?

Love : Audio Technica ATH - W5000

Like : AKG K1000 (x3), AKG K340 (x4)

Have : another 6 irrelevant cans collecting dust.

Had : 25+ from $100 up to $1800 I didn't like enough to keep them.

Want : I'm content and there's nothing new and tempting on the market.A spare W5000 maybe.

Want:
I have never listened to a 'Stat so something from Stax is on the cards, probably the OII. I would like to try the K1000 as well.



Added to the list of "haves" Omega II which I am enjoying immensely; ATH-W2002 which very rapidly became my favourite dynamic can. A pair of GS1000’s should arrive today so interesting times ahead.
On the way out to my brother is the RS1 but only after I have done a decent comparison with the GS1000.
Gone HD650 and SR225.
Still want to try a K1000 one day. Would like to own a pair R10’s.

You can look in my profile to see what I have and some of the stuff I have owned. Only thing I want to try are the Stax SR-Omega. If anyone has a pair I would love to try them!

Have: HE90, E500

Want: K1000

I've pretty much auditioned almost everything out and I've searched long and hard to find a great all around headphone and the HE90s are it...however, like the he90, I think the K1000 is in a special class doing things especially with classical music that is truly special...

have:
Sennheiser HD600
Grado SR225
Westone UM2
Audio Technica A900
ksc75 and Sportapro

had:
e2c
e3c
sony d66sl eggos

want to try:
Sennheiser HD650
AKG K701
Beyerdynamic DT880
e500
e4c
HF-1
RS-1

I am relatively satisfied with my inventory however and don't really want to own the headphones I want to try... but I've said that to myself when all I had was the e2c and SR225's.

Have now:
Beyerdynamic DT880, Sony V300, Sennheiser PMX-100
Tried:
UE 3
Panasonic HJE-50 (these are real trash)
Koss PortaPro
AKG K26, K25

Now i just want headpones, that will have good noise-isolation and pretty good sound...

I've finally reached the point where I actually have every headphone that I want. I'm actually interested in experimenting with older Stax models, but that's curiousity more than anything else. Current list (this is an interesting memory exercise):

AKG K-340
AKG K-1000 (Equinox hard-wired)
Audio-Technica ATH-L3000
Etymotics ER-4s
Grado PS-1
Grado RS-1 (1 stock, 1 balanced)
Koss KSC-35
Koss Cheesephones
Precide Ergo 2 (balanced)
Sennheiser HD-650 (x2)
Sennheiser HE60 (may sell this one)
Sennheiser HE90
Sony MDR-CD3000 (Headphile mods)
Sony MDR-R10 (2 stock, 1 balanced)
Sony Qualia 010
Sony MDR-F1
Stax Aperio Alpha 1
Stax Lambda Pro
Ultimate Ears UE-10 Pro

Wants: shrink the list above, but very few of those are going anywhere.

Wow, amazing. I didn't realize you actually have 2 R10s. Do you like them balanced better than single ended? No GS1000 Hirsch?

Yep, I can't add either.

If you tally everything up, that's more than 25K on headphones alone!!!

Have:

AKG K501
Beyerdynamic DT-880 (2003 model)
Koss Portapro

Want:

AKG K701 (will get them soon)
AKG K1000 (but will probably never get 'em)
Sennheiser HE-90 (will probably never get 'em)

Basically I'm almost done when it comes to headphones, unless I happen to get into electric guitar based rock very heavily in the future (unlikely). After the K701, I'll be focusing on getting a better amp, and then perhaps an external DAC eventually. I also want a ~$100-$150 high end switch box so I can use a couple different sources, I'll get one of those eventually too.
