some sub $15-20 dollar sony earbuds I got from best buy...it was a sad state of affairs.

Some Sony earbuds I bought in japan and before that some Sony ones that came with my MD player as well.

I was using Koss UR20s for home use and Panasonic Shockwave over-the-head headphones (I don't know the exact model, but they came in different colours) for portable use.

My first order of business was to buy either the PX100s or the Koss PortaPros, due to reviews elsewhere and comments that led me to Head-Fi. I picked the Senns and my wallet whimpered in dread of the days to come.

Sony MDR-EX51 then Marshmallows (still use mallows for portable).

 

[arvay7]

Sony MDR-710. they sounded amazing compared to the cheap ear-clip headphones i had before that.

 

[nadavnaz]

Creative ep-480's ><><>< and some sony clip ons that sound even worse

Prior to my getting involved in Head-Fi, I feel pretty good about saying that I used Senn 580s and Ety ER4s through a Headroom Total Bithead and Stax SRX Mk3 through a Mac amp / SRD-7sb. After Head-Fi (a bit more than one year now) forget about it. I've just been a ravenous beast!

2004/Home: Sony MDR-V4 supraurals
2004/Portable: Sony MDR-E565 earbuds

Earbuds died (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=62734); got Shure E3's as new portables thanks to Head-Fi advice (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=64448).

Found out about sources, amplification, and current headphone offerings; then got Total BitHead + HD555 package from HeadRoom. Happy, and have since focused on building up music collection.

For years I used Sony Streetstyles then I bought the Philips HP890. I still use the HP890s today, they turned out to be a nice buy

 

[ferros]

Some Philips earphones for about 30$

 

[enjoiflobees]

weird behringers. I forgot what kind. and ipod headphones.

 

[xnothingpoetic]

cx300, then shure e2c, then I found head-fi (while looking for a cheap replacement).

 

[TreAdidas]

Sony MDR-V6 for Digital. Whatever the hell "for digital" means.

They were fantastic and served me well for literally 12 years. I just gave them to my little brother last month to use with his iPod. They are doubled up as ear muffs in the cold northwest Ohio winters while I was walking to and from class.

I did an A/B test between the Sony's and one of my buddies AKG 701's and I was all well... I can obviously never listen to those Sony's ever again.

Philips HP250

Lots of Boomy bass that makes it hard for my to transition to hifi headphones

 

[cyberspyder]

E2C's---cream of the crop of ALL best buy offerings...LOL (and for $70 CAD, I doubt there is a better choice). Curiously, I'm still using these regularly...
