Title: Headphone enthusiasts?
Post by: eat_the_food on Thu, 31 December 2015, 16:47:47

Wondering how many of you out there are headphone enthusiasts.  I feel like there are quite a few similarities among collectors of fine listening equipment and appreciators of fine quality in the form of keyboards / switches / caps.

Though I've always loved music, I started my headphone collection in earnest when I ended up trading an old video card for a pair of DT770's. Needless to say, I was blown away by the difference in sound quality in comparison to the apple pods I was previously using. From there it was a pretty quick escalation to Phillips X2's > AlphaDogs > TH900's > LCD-3's.

What got you into headphones in the first place? How is your current setup treating you? What do you consider your end game?
