We talk about headphones. You know, those expensive things that go on your head so your music sounds more awesome.

I’m using the 770 Pro, replaced the ear cups for the first time since I got them a couple years ago. Makes a world of difference!
Me too!
Woa, same!!
Same, really love the surprising amount of bass they have for an open back

ATH-M50X
8 hours, 5 days a week for 5 years. They are still going strong. Have only had to replace the earmuffs. I love my ATH-M50Xs
M40X here! Love them, awesome headset for producing as well as listening
Massdrop x Sennheiser HD6XX
Honestly I mostly use my Sony WH1000-XM4s but I have a set of HIFIMAN HE400i that I use when I can sit still.
Sundaras unite! Great headphones with a portable amp for listening in bed for sure!
For at least the last 20 years my main cans have been a pair of the Sony MDR-V6.
As a kid growing up, my grandparents gave my brother (older) and I each some nice headphones. He got Sennheiser 595s, and I don't know what I got, But I liked them a lot and brought him to school in my backpack one time.
Don't put full sized over ear headphones in backpacks. They break.
My parents bought me a replacement. Sony MDR-V600. I didn't know how shitty those were for a very long time.
They are not the same as the Sony MDR-V6, but I honestly don't know how different since I've never heard the V6. There's a pretty big price difference and the V6s have way better reviews.
I miss my V600s. I still have them, but their fabrics are in shreds just from age, and there's no room in the ear cups, at all. The main cable insulation broke open years ago and I've since gotten new headphones...
But man. That Sony sound, even on my shitty old V600s. Kind of makes me want to get a pair of 7506s or V6s.
Have you had to repair anything on your V6s?
I love a good story about headphones that mean something to someone. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve replaced the ear pads twice and the most recent one have been amazing. Very light on my head and more breathable that the originals and the first replacements I found. I can find out which one I have on them now and link them here if you’d like.
I also like to tinker a bit and was looking for a soldering project around the same time I kept seeing everyone with their headphones and cool detachable cables. So I bit the bullet and modded my V-6s with the detachable cable mod. Certainly something I didn’t have to do but it came out great and made these cans even more special to me.

HD6XX on a Schitt stack for the home, WF-1000XM4s on the go, and Pixel Buds A for choring.
That doesn't stop me from going into the drawer of shame to pull out something else from time to time, but that's my current rotation.
6XX on a Schitt stack is like THE entry level audiophile deal of the last several decades. I've suggested that to so many people, all of whom still daily drive and are still happy with it.
HD 560s by your mate Senny at home, Koss Porta Pros on the move.
AKG K712 Pros
JBL 650BTNC. Commute approved. Looking to upgrade
Had these for just under 2 years, still going strong
R70x running on a magni piety
6XX at home, DT 700 Pro X at work.
Sennheiser HD280's.
I got focal clears
Usually Sennheiser HD 800 at home, Etymotic ER2SE on the go.
Sony XM5s, the noise canceling at work is so blissful.
Using my Fidelio X2HR from 2 years already, love a flat-ish frequency response.
I am considering trying those Sundara, tho
B&O H6 2nd gen
Rotating between the HD800S, LCD-X 2020's, and Aeon 2 Noire depending on if I am watching videos, gaming, or listening to music. The Noire's are the newest to me, and have been getting the most head time while I've been on a rock/metal and electronica bent lately. Source is Amazon Music into an SMSL SU-8 to Singxer SA-1. I finally hit my perfect trifecta.... until the bug gets me again.

Xm4-1000
Resurrecting this post to say “Røde NTH-100.”
Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT
HD600 paired with Element III
I have a few pairs (bt 990, 660, DT 1770, elex, etc) but the comfort weight, smooth acentuated bass & lower mid sound of the Sivga phoenix are such a pleasure. And they are easy to drive. They are not true balanced but very fun. Most of all they keep the ears from sweating.
I’m using razer kraken v3 pro. They sound good enough for gaming for me. Thought was going tonuse their bass boost that actually vibrates, but it’s too much in the end. Good buy nonetheless (got them refurbished for cheap)
ATH-M40x but really want to try AKG K371 or open-back headphones
