For me it was the Superlux 662f (when I was still just lurking here). To be honest, I have never listed to much music at all (and would never have included it on a list of my favorite things to do), but it is amazing what even a decent pair of headphones did to increase my enjoyment of music. I find myself listening to music much more than I used to. And of course, now I'm in the market for some more headphones....

For me it's a HD518.....
I always liked using to good "quality" gear but Head-Fi changed the meaning of quality for me.....

M-Audio Q40 - and I thought that $100+ was a lot to spend on a pair of headphones. Now I have a $250 amp (Matrix M-Stage), a pair of three-way hybrid custom IEMs on order, and considering $400 headphones like the HD600 and Fidelio X1 as my next purchase. lol

My first headphones purchase after coming to head-fi was the HD650s. Since then, I've upgraded to the LCD-2s.

Amazing isn't it? Although I always liked music, it was background stuff, I could never sit and listen to music until I got good headphones. Whole areas of music I never thought I liked opened up to me as I moved into the head fi world. Some people claim that people on this site are tech geeks and that "true" music lovers don't need this type of equipment. Couldn't be further from the truth! Head fi helps create music lovers.

HD681 Superlux. 2nd purchase was the EVO version

 

[TenMoonsNorth]

AKG K701s after a great dealing of lurking and cross-checking reviews and objective data. I was concerned about that treble mountain range but I rarely notice it when listening to music.
