If I'm not using stock, I tend to use spinfit tips

Wat

Recently I’ve been using the AZLA SednaEarfit Max Standards with my U12t. They’re very comfortable since they’re made of a pretty soft and grippy silicone. They have built-in wax guards which also help prevent the IEM nozzles from going too far through the ear tip bore.

spinfit cp100. only xl tips I can find

Where did you find that deal?

I've got to agree with some of the other comments here. If you can, return the over ears and grab some HD58x or DT990s. If you can afford it then probably HD6xx?

I’ve got an HD 800S, NDH 30, HD 650 and some miscellaneous other stuff. TBH, the HD 800 is not the one I’d keep if I was forced to part with all but one (assuming that I get to sell them). When reduced to a single headphone, I’d still keep the HD 650, because I greatly adore it’s warm and pleasant sound.

If I can’t get the money by selling and I’m allowed to rebuy headphone later, I’d keep the 800 of course, since it has by far the highest value.

I have the same iems and really enjoy them myself. Can I ask why you resent buying them? I have small ears so I find the smallest size they come with to be most comfortable.

Let’s not tell him about the 660s2… 🤫

Keep the KZ's, return the rest and get a good pair of used overears.

I just got new hd 660s for 240 Canadian yesterday

It's honestly not a whole lot that needs pushing. So it's quite minor. Unless I go on/off I'll forget the difference in a few minutes.

Philips SHP9600 with Misodiko cooling gel pads. I can wear them all day, and the sound is warm and bassy. it does everything I want it to do.

You forgot the Anime IEM, you heretic

HD 660s has stopped my upgraditis for now

Just a relexaded yet detailed sound, after years listening to brighter headphones

For me if only one headphone it would be the Diana TC with the bass ported pads.

Thanks! I'm using HD600 and LCD-X and Arya in recent time, will write about them in future posts

Give all back except the AirPods and get a pair of E-MU teaks

You know something is not right when the best equipment there is the AirPods, and by a lot

HD 800S, for me that's the pinnacle of headphones, everything is just perfect, bright sound signature, wide soundstage, perfect detail retrival, and non-existent clamp force

Bro

I picked up the HE500 on eBay in 2018, and the seller claimed to have them for 6-7 years before me, so they're well over a decade old at this point. Counting my blessings every day that they don't give up the ghost any time soon.

Yeah, I imagine with careful handling your headphones should last a good long while. :)

The AKG Y50's. A bit of an odd pick, sure, but for everyday use, I absolutely love them. I love the sound, I love the noise isolation, I love the look and I love the fit. If I could only have on set of headphones, that's my pick.

Don't get me wrong, they're certainly not the best sounding headphones I've heard or even own. If I want great sound, I'll be sitting on my couch listening through my X2HR's or HD58x'd. But because they've open backs, you can't really bring those on a bus, or even take a walk with them on a windy day. The best closed backs I've got are the DT770 Pro's (80 ohm), but the sound isolation just doesn't cut it. Same story for all of my other closed back, actually.

Really, my headphone journey started with me trying to find a suitable upgrade for my Y50's, but so far I've been unsuccessful. I'm starting to think the Y50's really are my perfect convenience set of headphones. It's a shame that they've been discontinued.
