I've uploaded a few pics of several listening / working rooms around house with HPs along with DAC/Amp set-ups and a few source devices in a related group topic but am not sure at the moment how to link the newly created gallery or groupings or if it's protocol to do so.
Here's a few pics of my mobile HP set-up in the meantime.
T50RP mkIII, Shure Alcantara/Memory Foam earpads. <3
Photo is what I sent a friend who suggested I should get Airpods.
Those are beautiful!View attachment 1109970
Just receiver these today . Pioneer Monitor 10. Just a little shoe polish and they look as new ;-)
Recent arrival--the Oppo PM-3 planars. Certainly the most comfortable (and expensive) I've ever owned! Very smooth and detailed sound also, especially on classical. Now I just need to up my amplification game, and figure out something for a portable rig. But for now, the headphone output on the 105 will have to do. (And headphones at this level show how lousy the outputs on smartphones, tablets and computers are...)

Very comfortable--they're the only over-the-ear 'phones I can wear for an hour or so at a time and not feel discomfort. As a rule though, I just don't like headphones, or headphone listening (and that includes earbuds). So it says a lot that I can tolerate the PM3s for that much time.My next ones will be the Oppo PM 3 also. Heard them at a friends on a high res player. WOW and very comfortable. Pricey as well but worth it.
Pro 4AA Titaniums!! How do you like em?I know I am going to receive some flak for these since I’m probably the only one that has beats headphones on the forum. Lol. A friend of mine gave me the Koss headphones and I happily took them. A bit heavy but sound nice. As for build quality as you hear about beats these are the very first from 2008 been halfway around the world and back as well as heavy transit use. So 10 years and counting so far. My next ones will be the Oppo PM 3 also. Heard them at a friends on a high res player. WOW and very comfortable. Pricey as well but worth it.

I think the sound is really good for the price point and have a great retro look. Well guess these never really changed much since the 70s. Lol . I use headphones on my phone and iPad mainly. I plugged it in to my marantz cd and carver tube CD player for kicks and it sounded great. The thing I don’t like about them is they are not the most comfortable. Heavy as well. No way you take these on a long trip. The smaller beats I can wear those for hours I forget they are on sometimes.Pro 4AA Titaniums!! How do you like em?
