Which headphones are your favorites? (self.headphones)

Hello! Recently I've bought a pair of LetShuoer S12s and absolutely loved them! They're by far the best set of IEMs/headphones I've ever had. For reference the only "headphones" I've ever used were gaming headsets and a KZ ZSX that serves me very well until now.

These, for now, are my absolute favorite IEMs/Headphones of all time, just bought a cx31993 and a pair of Spinfit W1s to use with the S12s since they're on sale on AliExpress and am planning on getting either a HD600 or a DT1990 Pro next.

So I ask you guys, which headphones are your favorites? Which headphones just make you go "Yeah, this is it."

imaging and soundstage is important to you I would buy the ATH R70X over these any day.

This may have sown the seeds of doubt in my mind, Soundstage is really important to me since i game a lot and having a good soundstage really enhances the experience for me. I'll be sure to take a look at the ATH R70x, since it's way cheaper than the DT1990 Pro here in Brasil, especially after tax (about 250USD of difference)

Yeah, the R70X are underappreciated in my opinion. Only issue is that the cups aren't super big so if you have large or very protruding ears they won't fit. I have pretty "normal" ears for a normal man and they fit great, it's just something to be aware of.

I don't think that'll be a problem for me, my ears are definitely on the small/flat side. I'll await for the MM100s from Audeze first before deciding, but looking at the price and some graphs, I think the R70x will probably be a better fit for me compared to the DT 1990 PRO, as of now, I don't think I can justify getting the Beyers since they're double the price of the R70x for a, what I assume after looking at some reviews and such, not double the price worth difference.

I just wanted to thank you for recommending the ATH R70x, if the MM100s aren't accessible here on Brasil, I'll definitely be going for the R70x :D
