Very first: bought at ebay. Koss The Plug hybrid with ER4 3X flanges tips. God were they hot! I got 3 friends to buy some as it was the thing...

Well the whole reason I came here was because my junky headphones sounded, well, junky. I believe my current pair of stock Creative earbuds at the time had broken as well, and I was ready for something better.

None.

Some $15 JCV ones (I like them actually) and the stock ipod ones.

Sennheiser HD-515

I was using Sennheiser HD575 and HD650. I discovered Audio-Technica here !

 

[carlineng]

Sennheiser HD212Pro. They had waaay too much bass and hurt my ears after 45 minutes of use, so I decided to go looking for better options.

I had Lambda Pros for 25 years before I fell down this rabbit hole and Grado SR60s since the mid 90s or soon after they came out so I've had superb phones before half of you were born.

Labtec unknown model, don't care to remember haha

 

[jclinton46]

Audio Technica AT-706 (from the mid-late 70's - not portable at all) and Sony MDR-V2 (from mid-late 80's - portable). Both were OK/good, well above the junk that comes with PCDPs but I couldn't carry around my AT's and needed yet another set of Sony pads so I decided to checkout/invest in something more current.

 

[kuviaq]

Sony MDR-V600's and black EX71's.
Now I'm rocking HD650's at home and K81DJ's on the go.

Before I found head-fi, I owned SR60s, HD580s, Ety ER4P/S and a headroom microamp. I found head-fi thinking if these sound this good, I wonder what else is out there...curiosity killed the wallet, but made me very happy.

Oh, I still own the Etys. I sold the others.
