None. Absolutely happy with my Sundara and Yanyin Moonlight IEM.

[–] Tanachip@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sony ZX707 and Sony IER M9.

[–] thecakeinside@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

LCD-X, Bang and Olufsen H95

[–] beaverbait@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

LCD-X, iSINE 20, Verum 1, maybe some cheapo IEMs as well.

Thanks audeze Black Friday sale. I know the isine 20 isn't always a popular choice but I like looking like a tie fighter and i love my 10s. For 199 I didn't want to pass up the 20s.

[–] Seang2989@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fiio FH9 and Technics AZ-80. For what I need, each is great!

[–] Sanslution@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Truthear Zero Red, Hiby FC1, a NiceHCK cable and a Spinfit ear tip. I think it's good for a beginner like me

I bought my first pair of nice headphones, DT 1990 pro, and I use them every day and am as in love as I was the first time I slipped them on. I'm in the market for some nice earbuds and that will be all I need!

[–] PimpmasterMcGooby@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

AKG K702, Meze 109 Pro, Sennheiser HD600, Hifiman Edition XS, AT AD2000X, Beyer DT1990, ZMF Atticus, Focal Elegia, Truthear Zero & Hexa, Moondrop Blessing 3, Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite, Sennheiser IE600, Topping E70V+L70, Fiio UTWS5 & KA13. Yeah, I uh, have some regrets.

Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary but returned them because the "oomph" was missing in the music. Now waiting for Black Friday and hoping to either get a good deal for the Denon AH-D5200 and if I can't get them cheaper I will probably end up with an Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. I don't like flat and neutral headphones that are lacking in bass so there are not really many options out there these days. :-/

Soekris DAC2541, Audeze MM-500 and some music, next probably will be IE600.

[–] Joulle@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Focal Bathys because I wanted proper sound on the go as well

Sundara HD 660S AKG K712 Pro HD 560S. Prefer the Sundara by far even compared to my HE400SE they sound much better.

[–] Quickstep3138@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Focal Clear Mg

[–] notmac_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] ind8000@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The dioko to replace my kz crinacle lost in january, and the focal elex as a celebration for my first salary, last december. Nothing else.

[–] uzldropped@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just some random budget things to expand my small collection. Cadenza’s, some refurbished monoprice offerings, got some budget speakers on prime day, some different ear tips.

I think I’ve been putting more money in to keyboards and mice and mousepads as of recently. My next audio purchase will probably be a ~500 pair of headphones, but I’ve been conflicted between the Edition Xs, Focal Clear, and the 109 Pro

[–] zen1706@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

660s, R70X and 800S

Beyerdynamic dt 900 pro x

[–] juandikebar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just got a used pair of focal elex, as well as some replacement pads and a topping L50 amp. All in all got a basically brand new pair of headphones and amp for less than the elex retail. Loving them so far

Bought the moondrop chu 2s cuz I smashed my old iems under my body weight. Saving up for the er2xr this year dipping into the 100 dollar price range for the first time.

[–] Ajoesal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Truthear Hexa, TiN hifi T3+, QKZ x HBB and DT 900 Pro x.

[–] kazinova@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

HD6XX, Modi, Magni+, Yanyin Canon II / Tangzu Heyday Edition, Wan’er / 7hz Legato, Dioko, Zero / Blon Z300 / Kiwi Ears Quartet / Truthear Zero / ARTTi R1 among other cheap stuff.

1st year in. Bought the HD6XX in January and it was all down hill from there. Now everything I used to listen to sounds bad to me.

[–] PizzaTacoCat312@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Focal elegia and quadilex 5K

[–] Vipitis@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

An audio interface. Finally I found something that fit my requirements. Live monitoring, 4 channels, physical controls, no software.

While the Rode procaster were really big, I found Roland Stream Bridge and are really happy with it. I would prefer the fails to be declicked, but that's about it.

Still hope to find a proper microphone soon.

[–] Chillazar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

DCA Stealth, HE400SE (gave them to a friend), Audeze LCD2, Manufacture Beyerdynamic DT990 Edition and now the ZMF Auteur Ash Purple Burst

I was still collecting, so I got a bunch of stuff and sold a couple of things. My flairs were purchases within the past 12 months. I collected some vintage AKGs (k141s, 240 Sextetts, 340s), a K44, and a K702 Anniversary edition (and sold my k712s as I had the k812s, but I do like them better than the 702s). I got some Sony MDR-XB500s, and some HD 545s as side pieces I use from time to time depending on my mood. I tried the Hifiman HE-X4s (amazing for its sale value, and could be all one needs if you have a solid pair). I got a used Beats Solo Pro for cheap (great noise cancelling, much better tuning albeit shouty).

And for portable listening, I got myself an iPod Classic for on-the-go. It also works on my car, inspiring me to actually fix my stereo setup in there. And just recently I got a 1st gen iPod (the Scroll Wheel) that will stay connected to my O2 amp for when I want to listen with my vintage AKGs.

I think it's impressive that I didn't spend much on headphones. Factoring the headphones I sold this year compared to how much I spent on headphones, I think I spent more money on both iPods. I felt incredibly lucky with some of these used listings.

[–] New_Cartoonist_8860@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hd 58x (I’m basic I know)

[–] Named-User-who-died@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I got 2 mass drop Sennheiser headphones, first the HD6XX and then the HD8XX, with the latter being open-box. Also, I got waterproof swim buds earphones!

[–] ThatWeirdBookLady@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My "fun" everyday pair is now the skullcandy crushers lol. And my grados.

[–] Crumpetman66@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Focal Clear OG, Focal Elegia, Hifiman Edition XS, Hifiman EF400 amp, couple of custom cables.

Need to stop now!

[–] MJ12_0451@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bought pads for sundaras, because default ones were falling apart. That's it.

[–] Jayden92@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

IE600 (purchased today so I don't have them yet) and Dynaudio LYD5 speakers

[–] azurcr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

KBEar Rosewinch, nice pair of budget IEMs

[–] RabiesTheRabbit@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Galaxy buds2. They sound ok, have decent functionality and work good. They don't have an exciting sound though.

[–] whitesaviorbehavior@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

bought and returned Bathys... other than that, no major audio purchases this year, thank fuck. i guess i really am content with my setup.

[–] Destroyeros@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
