For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

Listening to Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine with my HD820 - and love it! (that tight bass!)

…switched to the Vérité Closed now for sides 3 & 4, which makes the bass a lot more mellow and takes it back into the band while shining a very nice light on the drums, strings, and woodwinds. Totally different presentation, but intriguing in its own right :o2smile:

I saw some nice „classic“ headphones in your posts. The AKG K812 is a really nice and often underrated headphone that i had some time ago. If i could afford more headphones, i would have kept it. Excellent sound with a Violectric amp.

Tonight's listening session is very relaxing, just a bit of beats to wind down and have a nice time.
Picked the Hisenior Mega5EST again, as the birds are making way too much noise for open back. And I wanted to test some EQ settings on them, that I saw recommend elsewhere on the forum. Not an improvement to my taste.
I should really look into getting a better set of closed headphones for situations like this. Maybe the Sennheiser HD620S? 🤷

Anyway, the chain is Tidal, Fiio R7, Aune S17 Pro and the Hisenior Mega5EST (no EQ)

Playing with some tunings on the EQ chameleons, the Sivga Nightingale. Every EQ junky needs a set like these.

Call it "indie rock" if you must, but as the great sage Huey Lewis says, "it's still that same old back beat rhythm." Guitars, drums, heavy-hitting vocals, an occasional ballad. It's rock. I can't help throwing this one into my rotation this week.
