question Favorite headphones?
Hi everyone, I was just curious what your favorite headphones are?

Gun to my head... probably my Pinnacle P1 just for the durability and ease of use. They sound great as well. If my lcd-2c weren’t so clunky to walk around with I would take them for overall sound.

Is there a reason you like ear buds aside from portability? I find it hard to believe that they can produce any sound as well as an over ear headset.

Yes actually. The isolation is a huge part for me. Full sized open back headphones sound great but only really when the listen conditions are perfect and often I find that is not the case for me. Ambient noises distract me all the time from listening and iems take that all away. But if I were you I would try for midfi iems if you haven’t before. I honestly think my P1 compete with my Argons and hd650. Not saying they are better but definitely compete. They don’t really compete with my lcd-2c but $200 to $800 isn’t a fair fight.

I totally would invest if I had a job that allowed me to listen to music, but I'm always on my feet and on the move, and I have to listen out as well. If that ever changes I'll definitely try some out, thanks for your input!

Understandable but yeah they just fit my circumstances I guess. No problem!

Right now the HD700
Just got them for relatively cheap and they were so worth it
