My first were HD555s, and they're the only ones I still own!

They are in no way better than the modified DT-880s or ATH-W100s I had, but the emotional attachment is there.

My route of hifi phones:

Stax SR001mk2 > UE Super.fi 5 Pro > AKG 701 > Grado RS-1 > JVC HA-DX1000

 

[Aslan123]

Sennheiser HD201. The plastic holding the earcups eventually cracked but I still like them.

 

[SoliloCey]

A900Ti's

First hi-fi one was the earliest incarnation of Sony's EX series, I can't remember the code now.

Where's the lower limit for "hi-fi"?

I can't even recall most of the Sennheiser models I've owned over the last 8-10 years (the ones in my sig plus the HD515 and before then it's a bit of a blur honestly, at least a few from the 400 series I think), let alone the brands and models of all the cheap and possibly a few slightly less cheap headphones and earbuds I've owned since I got my first Walkman back in the mid 80s.

Still deciding...

 

[SleepyOne]

It shouldn't include those sorry....

 

[ourfpshero]

had plenty of forgotten walkman type headphones and buds, etc.

my 1st 'real' cans were a senn hd490 -found for 9.99 clearance at frys. since then audio has mattered!

 

[Adu]

my first headphones were Sony MDR-CD480, after that Sennheiser HD595 (two pairs

) and now Beyerdynamic DT990 2005.

 

[bbbretzel]

my first headphones were SONY MDR-CD250

and now I've got really audiophile DT880 '05

 

[Rinshin]

MDR-EX51 were my first headphones. I know they are IEMs, but they introduced me to a world of "non-stock" headphones, i.e. they don't come with the music player! Since then I have moved on a pair of SR225s, UE 3s, D2000s, and now I'm waiting for the HF-2s =D

 

[jeycam]

Fostex T-7s and I've already got 2nd pair of them

 

[DHHZ]

My first, apart from the crappy apple buds that came with my iPod, were some JVC aircushions. I've now got some SR60s, after my dad stole the aircushions, when he realised how much better they are than the stock ones (I don't think they're any good any more

)

My first pair of headphones were an Audio-technica ATH-M20.
