    Guys,

    I am curious - do you use any high end headphones in your day to day work? Or perhaps at home?

    I use these Ultimate Ears Capitol Records IEMs in my travel kit. I reviewed them too.

    Normally, I use over-the-ear headphones like my Mark Levinson No. 5909s. Those are my favorites with the "Harman Curve" and whatnot. I've beaten the snot out of mine but they are still rocking. I took them to Munich HIFI with me in May. Still kicking.

    I had SO MANY OTHER audiophile headphones that I lost in the Palisades Fire. HIFI MAN Divas, Bowers & Wilkins Px8s, T+A Solitaire. Literally, a whole bunch of them went in the dumpster last week. It was painful. Perhaps State Farm will pay for them? Unlikely.

    what do you guys use? Most of mine are wireless but open to wired suggestions too.

    Thanks in advance.

    Jerry

    Beyer DT1770 Pro, and Audeze LCD-2 Classic. Between those two all my bases are covered. At work I have the Audeze Maxwells which are wireless so it quite convenient.

    I used HD600's for a long time, I also have 7506's & ATH M50's, then I bought Slate VSX when it came out, that has been a game changer for me. I totally trust it, I have ATC SCM25's which are in VSX and they sound the same. The latest update makes them next level. The bonus is being able to have the ability to have pro monitoring anywhere. I also avoid wireless because you're listening to data compression.

    ATH M50's all day here.

    It's not about what headphones you use, it's ALL about how you are able to learn any pair of headphones and make your work translate.
