Headphone Inventory

Full sized favorite headphones:

Sennheiser HD250 Linear-1 (600ohm) (Most detailed headphone in my collection. But never reaches to the gritty or ear piercing level... So nice high-range. Mid-range and bass are also present in a very realistic and detailed way. HD250 is a tad bit better sounding HP compared to AKG K400. But AKG mids are magical. Oh I have to mention Linear1 -as the name suggests- is the most linear sounding HP in my collection, followed by K400).

AKG K400 (EP) (This is one of the the most High Fidelity, most Reference Sounding headphone in my collection, I love it! This headphone is my personal favorite along with HD250 Linear-1, K340, K240 Sextett (MP) and K7XX.)

AKG K340 Electrostatic-Dynamic Headphones (Bought again, no major modding this time apart from changing the earpads, already sounds great, I have attached Brainwavz Hybrid Memory Foam Earpads. This K340 is supposed to be the bass heavy version with grey dynamic drivers, but it sounds closer to neutral IMO, this is one of my favorite headphones).

AKG K340 Electrostatic-Dynamic Headphones (My first K340, this was the bass light version, Recabled and Highly modded, I have killed this hp while on my 3rd mode attempt so I bought another one which is explained on the top. This headphone was my first audiophile grade full sized headphone so it will always be remembered- RIP).

AKG K240 Sextett (MP) (Modded and re-cabled with Mogami Quad Microphone cable and attached with Brainwavz Velour Angled HM5 Earpads. Some other mods also applied. This is also one of my favorite headphones).

AKG K7XX LTE (AudioMinor Cryoed Pure Solid Silver Cable) (for office use, great soundstage and typical AKG signature on sound, I really like it)

Beyerdynamic DT-150 (w/Brainwavz Angled HM5 Pleather Earpads) (I like this hp, it has a great bass presence. Also mids and highs are very well presented. Delivers holographic sound with Brainwavz angled memoryfoam pleather earpads. It is one of the best closed type full sized headphones and used by many many studios throughout the world). This headphone sounded best with my Fosi Audio T20 Tube AMP

Fostex T50RP (Recabled and modded, w/Brainwavz HM5 Pleather Earpads) (can be good for monitoring, doesn't get much head-time, slightly boring headphone for my tastes)

Portable favorite headphones:
Koss KSC-35 (Highly modded and recabled)
Koss PortaPro Classic (Highly modded and recabled)
Sennheiser PX100ii (Attached with Grado donut foam pads)
JVC HA-S500

Havi B6 Pirate (B6P) Single Driver Version (This is a pre-production model. You can't find any other true B6 photos on the head-fi other than the ones which were provided by me back in 2015. Havi is going to release the B6 (info provided as of 2018) but the time line is not clear yet. If they decide to do so I will definitely inform the head-fi society. So please do not send PM about this. The design will be changed from the first introduced pre-production model).
Havi B3 Pro2
Zero Audio Carbo Tenore (Grey Vsonic Eartips) (this one could be in the favorite iem list if it didn't show typical Tenore syndrome -TTS- which the iem for an unknown reason cuts out one channel after some listening)
