My active roster includes:

DT880 - open-back workhorse (which unfortunately I can't use as much as I'd like these days because I'm in an a noisy apartment building)

DT770 - Closed-back workhorse and TV/computer phones

E1000 - Casual-listening IEM

ER2SE - Critical-listening/isolation IEM

Sony 7506 - Bedside headphone (I try to use this instead of IEMs so I'm not spending all night with blocked-up ear canals)

All my others have been retired or tossed out. But I'm glad I experienced them, if only to learn why i do or don't like them.
