Best sounding headphones you have owned?


At one time I had gone through Shure, early Stax, Audio Technica electret condenser....and more.

What have you owned in both expensive and inexpensive headphones that gave you pleasurable listening?

 

jusam

Contrary to you i read someone post BEFORE infering FALSE claim about it...

i dont slammed you body...😁 I just make the remark that you dont have listen to my modified headphone the K340 , claiming as you did you listened to all if not most TOP one even those as you said i " could never able to afford" which is as formulated such a bit insulting...

Secondly i said that AS YOURSELF , i disliked headphones and prefer speakers...If you had read my post before claiming i slammed you you would have understand that some headphones as the RAAL or my K340 differ vastly from other headphones......

The one pratronizing other here is you...I dont claim anything save to correct your claim about listening all headphones set up... This is false because it is impossible...

As you i prefer speakers...

But my K340 modified and optimized with his dual acoustic chamber with 5 passively tuned resonators resemble nothing you had listened too dude😊 ...

And i correct you mistaking claim that headphone dont have their own room shell acoustic because it is one of the main attribute which make the K340 unique...

Read before patronizing me about what i could or could not afford and before claiming you know it all ... You dont...

This is my "mumblings" here as you said ... Other will read my answer and make their opinion...

I give argument not patronizing veiled insult and pretentious universal claim valid for everyone...

And dont insult me about what i could or not afford, and about my " mumblings", and about the fact that you never dare to read my post but you answer them in your american active  patronizing discourteous way,..

 

 

Sorry my post came out harsh. I honestly don’t read the Mahgister’s long rumblings, but I understand he slammed me big time his usual polite passive aggressive canadian way. Oh well

 

 

Let me first say I am not a huge fan of headphones because I dislike the in your head soundstage. However, I love the RAAL SR1a because it does not sound like headphones. The only traditional headphone that I liked was the RAAL CA-1a.

it is the precise reason why the RAAL is the only headphone i am interested to ... I will compare it to my K340 optimized...

Out of the head impression is mandatory for me if i want to appreciate headphone...

It is the reason why i am also interested by the BACCH filters ...

I must add that my K340 produce deep bass listening organ for example that i felt with my body and are speaker like or at least completely different from headphone bass inside the head only...

Focal Utopia 2018/2019.  That's easy.  Sound great, very comfortable and great soundstage and range.  The best I have ever had, by far.

What headphone own natural timbre and own a deep bass clean and with no leak in the mids and more importantly an "out of the head" speaker like impression with great hall recordings or church one for example ?

I enjoy that only with my Akg K340 , none of the others headphones i had listend too ...

I dislike almost all headphones...

I apologize to repeat myself  wanting to be clear...

If someone know which headphone did the same please give me his name ...
