Decided to make a thread for people to show off their headphone and audio setups. I am going to restrict this to Headphones, Amps, and DACs. NO SPEAKERS

 

I will post some much better pictures of my stuff tomorrow so I will use these couple as a place holder for now.

They came w/ an orange one, it's just less useful than the coiled one, so I don't use it.

Got it. I hate coiled cables personally so I would replace it if I ever got a set.

Neither was I have have zero patience. But I’m cheap and that overrides my patience so 6 months was worth it to save $100 over buying 650s xD

Got to say, I'm normally not a fan of wood or wood effect designs, but those are gorgeous. 

 

Also, Schiit Modi and Magni 2 stack and Sennheiser Momentum 2 + ModMic, a pair of Brainwavz HM5s and a pair of Audio Technica MSR7s.

Hey, those are Philips SHP9500s. Bought them for $16 after reading a review that they were pretty good, they have good enough sound that I can pick up important compositional details while listening.


The set on the back is from a bus line though :P

Took me a minute to find them. I used to use crappy in-ears all the time until my headphone jack was taken from me.
