Here is one of my three listening spots. Grado HPA with my SR125's. A fully custom Belles Class A HPA works great with my Creatives, and a Stellar Labs Amp to drive my old pair of Stax. (In for repair)

New arrival, Pioneer SE-205, near mint condition. Great vintage headphones.

My AKG K240's, really nice for $60 off Amazon. Had some wood scraps laying around, so I cobbled together a little stand for them.

K401s are the new kids on the block here. I can't wait until the K701s are back from repair so that I can take a group photo.

Philips Fidelio X1. They sound sweet and are very comfortable, especially for the price (I got mine for $180).

Hifiman HE-400i's to replace the Senn HD-600s that my dog chomped. I like these better.

My new AKG K702s that came this morning. I've got my Little Dot HP amp set up again. Oh, I just love these cans! The cups are huge and it doesn't matter that my ears stick out like taxi doors, they still leave a gap all round them, and the pads are deep so my ears don't touch the inner part. Y'know that 'rediscover your music collection' feeling? Well that's how good they are.

I just got my K701's back from the repair shop. Virtually the same headphone minus the removable XLR cable. These headphones are honest, there's no better reference for the money. Give them some burn in, allow your ears/brain to get used to them if need be, and enjoy!

I got these Pioneer SE-305 a few months ago.I bid last 4/5 seconds and got them for $18 and free shipping. These have a nice padded head band w/ leather padded ear cups. I was going for the nostalgic look trying to get my old Super-X made in Yonkers in the mid '70s. I then remembered they felt like 2 milk crates on your head and because the cups were made out of pliable rubber which made you sweat so bad they offered cloth ear protectors..

Recently acquired some Marshmallows, which I highly recommend for ultra-budget canalphones, and I showcased them with the Gumys with the small Marshmallow tips installed, while the Marshmallows have the bigger tips installed.

Collection of cheap in ears currently in rotation. From left:

VE Monk+: the famous earbuds from China with an excellent sound signature. $4.99 on Aliexpress and Massdrop.

Meelec M9P Massdrop Blue Box: Metal enclosures. Enjoyable sound. Great cheap beater.

Meelec M-Duo: Dual-dynamic driver IEM. Very clear sound for the money. Variably boomy bass depending on fit, seal and type of tip. Comply T400 Comfort foams installed.

KZ ATE: Kust got these today. $15 IEMs with a lot of attention to detail for the price. A housing that easily twists into your ears, cable weights designed to hold the cable around the back of your ears. Boosted bass without the boosted highs of a smiley faces EQ. I want more time with these however I also have to try out my new velour pads for my K240 Monitor tonight.
