I'm glad you're still enjoying your 07. The only thing left for me is to get the BH Crack.

I heard the crack, finally, this weekend. It's as good as they say, especially with the hd650.

Sending a PM as to not derail the thread

Right this minute, I would have to say my old Beyer DT880 I got back in 2005 (with Cardas cable) - even all these years on, it still punches well above its weight - makes you wonder at times why we all end up spending so much more...

With the HD800's,,they totally amaze me...

Two headphones: Denon D2000, Ultrasone Hfi-780 (great for movies and games although they sound a bit metallic and unnatural.

 
Thanks for the triple post FlyingFungus

 Just ordered a Ultrasone Hfi-780 after your description of it being a bit metallic and unnatural. Sounds like my kind of headphone reminding me of the Koss UR40 and Audio Technica Ath AD700.
 
One more thing i forgot to mention about my previous choices the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro and Audio Technica ATH AD700 is they are both very comfortable. I guess i must have a headphone head since i never have the problems others complain about when it comes to vice grip clamping or too loose fittings.

If I could choose only one for everything it'd have to be obviously an IEM (spend too much time on bus), so it'd certainly be my Philips SHE9850. I can't even count how many hours I spent listening to them, how many great bands I discovered. They were my first good phones and even after listening much technically superior cans (HD650) I still miss their signature...

That being said, my second one would be a full-size... maybe HD600 or L1... I'll tell you when I choose one of them this weekend

1 = Stax SR-009s

2 = Stax SR-009s & Fostex TH900s

For home: AKG Q701

Portable: Vsonic GR01

Im still trying to tune my T50rp's to sound the way I want, so the Q701 and the GR01 are still my two top choices.

Only 1 headphone: already have it, Senn HD800.
 
only 2 headphones: I would add the Audeze LCD-3, for a different flavor.....BUT, I'm certainly not pining for an LCD-3....I have true bliss with my single pair...!!
