I also still use my K1000s along with my HP-2s. At my PC, I use the Sundaras. And on the go the ER4S, Roxanne and others.

I hear those require serious amplification.

Actually quite the opposite, you don't even need an amp to get the most out of them.

I hear that they're tuned specifically for Rammstein

X5A is even better

im am a fan of x5a - 37dB SNR

Rammstein turns into a chilling backgroundmusic therefore 😀

I love Fang.  Did I ever tell you guys about the time he rear-ended me in Tianjin and then had his wife's dad fix my car while I took painting lessons at his expense?

I think my journey went something like from various Lambdas to the HD800 to the SR-007 MK2.9 and finally to the Utopia. The Focal definitely have the least trade-offs and annoying stuff amongst the headphones that I've tried and owned.

Finally found my dream headphones:

You dreamt of headphones with dicks?

What the hecc is that, Fischer Price: My First Headset?

 Looking like that it's either real cheap or real expensive.

Stick to a wall and it's worth $100k

Circa 1996.  Sony MDR-CD1700. I modified it recently for a balanced amplification.  Stock is single-end only with wiring going into the left earcup.   The CD1700 is seriously awesome after the mod.  It is super efficient and sound better than ever.  Modded with Moon-Audio Black Dragon and Furutech 4.4 mm plug.

Well the CD1700 actually does not have any weakness after the recabled work that I did.  As wonderful as the Cd3000 with similar mod, the treble still can be annoying from time to time.  I don’t encounter any issue with the CD1700.  The presentation is actually effortless, relaxed, and analog sounding.  If you guys come across one and willing to do a bit of DIY, you will be very pleased with the results.  They can easily compete with any headphones under a grand and then some.

I think this is a reasonable question. My vintage RS-1 and HD-800S don't get used much. My Bose NC700 get used about 18 hours a day. I'm always on the move. They are comfortable, they sound fine, and the noise cancelling is great.
