OK so first off I probably have too many headphones. I got my standard home-alone, super-lovely open dynamic in a Clear MG. I use Elegia for travel because they are semi-similar while being closed.
I got DT880 and HD650 as reference. I have a few MDR-V6 copies for utility, like zoom meetings and testing, split up by location (office, home, backpack). Grado SR80x in the car and as a change-up.
I have some DCA Aeons that I got with a jotunheim and the pairing is sublime. It was also my first foray into planar magnetic.
I keep talking myself both into and out of an LCD-X pair. The Aeons are lovely but closed and I think I am more of an open guy (when conditions allow). Arya is a possibility here but lean Audeze over Hifiman. Or maybe I want a higher-end higher-impedence beyer like DT1990? It would sit well at one of my listening stations that has tubes.
Or maybe I should dump it all and get a single utopia to go with a single closed or even wireless pair of similar stature. Who knows!
