I have a Vox tube amp for my strat, so when I was quite surprised learn that tube amps were also a thing in the headphone world lol

Nice, I’m running mine through a ifi zen dac v2 right now with my pc as my source. Looking at other options with some money I have left over from Christmas. I was going to add the Zen Can but then researching that led me down the rabbit hole… I’m so lost

I might have to try the ZMF velour. I bought lambskin pads from Amazon that are better padded and isolate better (more bass) than the stock velour, but I miss the velour fabric feel vs leather.

I use a Bifrost 2/64 & Jot 2 stack now. Wanted balanced for my planars and for a long cable run I do from my DAC to my stereo.

Still on our modi/magni stack with the 660s? Or did you switch to a different combo?

This post has been removed. Please note the following rule:

>Rule 2: Ask purchase help questions in the Shopping and Setup Help Desk found at https://reddit.com/r/headphones/about/sticky > >Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in the dedicated Shopping and Setup Help Desk found at /r/headphones/about/sticky instead of a new post.

You may also use r/headphoneadvice but please search their resources and familiarize yourself with their rules first before posting.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

• A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

• Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

• Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?

• In short, this is a large subreddit with a high volume. We want to help, but it's important to keep things organized to keep the sub fun. Thanks for your understanding.

• A more detailed explanation about this rule can be found here.

What if the link doesn't work?

• The post can usually be found on the top r/headphones, and titled Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk.

Oh no! I already have too many expensive hobbies let’s just pray this doesn’t turn into another one!

Definitely! There’s much to be said for buying a popular gear setup. Most of the time it’s a good price to performance ratio!

When on the couch, iems (for YouTube/tv, AirPods; for gaming, chu; for music, dioko); when working at the desk at home, headphones (for videocalls, ksc75x; for music akg k240 vintage or kph30i modded); when in the office, HD58x for both videocalls and music

Say thanks, he won't be around for ever.

Over 30 in my collection. I have about 5 or 6 I really rotate through. Just depends on my mood or need at the time.

Hell yeah, I have a Modi too, insanely good for the price

It's usually shit, worse than your PC/laptop or phone. At least in Peavey Bandit 112.

me to, a $200 dac is 5x better than another pair of monarchs haha

Would you buy a iPhone 5 or 14? Wouldn’t the newer models be better?

Sony xm5 with ambient mode

Awesome! What case is that? It looks nice and like a good size.

lol I sense something between the lines

lol sounds like your Cockatiels know how to sing

Good headphones I keep for Sundays, the rest of the week I'm on Grados

That's good to hear! Glad it's not your IEMs

100% and I agree with you on new headphones before rolling source equipment. Some people care about audio to an OCD level and others couldn't be bothered.

I was discussing how headphone and speaker presentation are very different with pros and cons of each. The difference between them is much more than over-ears and IEMs. But the good thing is the choice is not binary!
