I wanted to buy either HD800s or Clear MG, but Cossie Lives bit me, so I bought Marantz NR1700 and KEF Q150s.

[–] KingBasten@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Senny HD560S and also the 58X jubilee, bought that one used.

Bought my first open-backs in the Sony MDR-MV1 back in August.

I’m waiting for my Truthear Hexa to arrive because the store I bought them from during 11.11 ran out of stock during the sale. Am expecting them sometime early December.

6XX (used) and zero red. I'm still looking at the new Fiio JT1, might buy it before the year ends.

[–] Matticus0989@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

E-MU Teaks. I had no idea what my ideal sound preference was until I got them. I now use them for everything.

[–] TheTomato2@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Same. They are now my default headphones when I listen to music or want to get immersed in a game.

[–] Feath3rblade@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Picked up an SR-Lambda Pro and 006t to run it pretty recently, and I've already fallen in love with them

Been trying to take it slow this year. Got a Moondrop Kato after my old IEMs broke. Praying to Zeus to give me strength to resist Black Friday deals on the HD660S2.
