Ath-m50s with DekoniSheepskin pads EQ'd using Oratory1990 settings

SHP9500 EQ'd using Oratory1990 settings, I pair this with a qudlex 5k for console gaming and sometimes watching movies.

7hz Salnotes Zero, mostly keep this pair around for when i'm travelling and I don't want to take anything bulky or expensive. It's the reliable but expendable pair.

Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

Honestly I would keep the Galaxy Buds 2 pro if I only had to keep one. I really like the tuning and the technicalities are pretty good too for a TWS IEM, it's just so effortless to enjoy music with these in most situations.

replace sennheiser and akg with dt 770 pro 80 ohm
replace kz and airpods with something like 7hz timeless or moondrop blessing 2

if you really want the airpods, for the price of the kz zns pro, you could have gotten truthear hola, moondrop chu or 7hz zero, all better options imo

not a bad haul, but wasted potential

No, he only ever mentioned (tested?) the HD 206 (which he hates), HD 280 Pro, HD 58X, and HD 600. Either OP forgot it's supposed to be the 280 or just went on his way.

Yeah, should just sell the 3 that isn't the AirPods Pro and get the HD 58X instead.

even if someone can't afford an expensive headphone anyone can go with dt770 - 880 - 990 pro or for even less the Samson's and have enough money to buy a dac'n amp for it. k72 that op got I don't own them but I see a lot of people everywhere saying these sound terrible the k model in general.

Understandable.

I don't know how long you've had the KZ but just know that the silver cable is gonna look nasty after a while. There is a cable on Linsoul Audio that's black and can even change termination iirc. So you could switch to and from 3.5mm and 6.3mm jacks.

just to be clear!!

yes i am a musician!

the airpods are a upgrade of the kz, the akg are a upgrade of the senn, no worries, everything was less than 100 bucks (without the airpods obviously)

economy is pretty hard here in chile so im not really able to spend that much money on headphones (400 bucks like someone said) the airpods are a little love to myself

My favorite are the DT1990.

But if I had to keep only one I don't know what they would be. Something with isolation if I only had one. Probably an IEM, but I find them uncomfortable after relatively short periods of time.

The ZSN pro X is a great, inexpensive IEM to start off with. But I'm a little confused with your other choices. Why two separate pairs of overears and why 4 separate devices at once?

You could have purchased a higher end headphone that blew the two (sennheiser and akg) away.

Though I personally would buy airpods pros(or any apple product) I understand that you might want noise cancellation. In that case why even bother with the IEMs?

Ultimately it's your money and I have no right to say what you should and shouldn't do with it.

Edit: OP might be a musician....

Actually you WILL notice the metal build. It will give you lots of confidence in wearing it, whether it be using them for commuting or laying on the side with them. A little extra durability and premium feel are always appreciated. Besides, if it address the peakiness on Chu then shouldn't that be big enough of a difference? You really shouldn't be expecting massive difference in anything below $80.
