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?

@freediver, mine are beryllium drivers with John’s warm yet detailed tuning. I’ve not heard his bio wool drivers so I cannot offer a comparison. I can say the beryllium drivers sound fairly neutral from top to bottom. Not too warm, not too detailed.

It's too bad JM Audio won't be showing at the Dallas Can Jam 2024..I would love to demo his line...

Would love to try out the JM Audio headphones. I hear so many good things about them, never seen them in person though. Seem like a killer deal. I'm loving the Raal headphones and am tempted by the new Immanis or Magna models but the pricing is a bit much. 

I recently upgraded from the HiFiMan Sundara 2020's to the HFM Ananda Nano's...
 OMG,where my iBasso SR-1's are like the finest 300B SET amplifier driving Sonus Faber speakers,the Nano's are complete polar opposites..
We're talking big Krell Class A amps driving huge Magnapans here..I can go from the baddest Classic Rock/Electric Blues/Reggae with the Nano's,to the sweetest, honey dripping Classical/Jazz/Pipe & slippers music with the simple change from 1 set to the other...Audiophile life can be pretty awesome,even if you can't afford mega $ gear!

Just recently got the Modhouse Tungsten DS with the Enleum XPA-23RMH amp, and that is a superb pairing. They sound much better through that amp than my Susvaras do, and like the Susvaras, they sound excellent on my DNA Stratus tube headphone amp. They don't have quite the detail of the Susvaras, but overall, I enjoy the experience with them more....
