I listen to several musical genres and go out a lot so i end up using them all either on the street or at home

I'm at the point where get evasive when my friends ask how many I own, or I massage the numbers somewhat. Not ideal.

Wait, you guys have friends??
I mean... I do, too, whole bunch. They just all live in Canada.
Surely there's a huge audio community in NY you can link up with!Wait, you guys have friends??

Sadly, I'm in the sticks. There's one headfier in my town, surprisingly. Then some more in NJ and near PA. But actual NYC is kinda far from me.

@you guys with 10+ pairs of headphones
Do you rotate through each of them periodically or just have a subset that you rotate through?
I am somewhat of a lightweight in this hobby…

I rotate periodically, listen to each one about 5 days at a time.

It’s a slippery slope… I try to keep my headphone purchases to a minimum but I can see why you might have ended up with so many.I rotate periodically, listen to each one about 5 days at a time.

Maybe when you have stuff not used for a month or even forgotten to own then you're just hoarding those.

No… you just plug all your headphones in at the same time, put them all on your head at the same time, play the song. That way you get the best of everything all at once with no gaps in any frequency, no details missed.Undiagnosed impulse control disorder?

Rotate through five at a time, then a different five …. Always subject to the thought: “with which do I feel like listening?” OR “with which have I not listened in a while?”@you guys with 10+ pairs of headphones

I assume the ones you end up picking is arbitrary. Do you have headphones picked out for genres of music or is it to remind yourself why you still have those 5?Rotate through five at a time, then a different five ….
