Just a question out of curiosity.

On my PC I use Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro at 80 OHM. Got them around 6 years ago, and love them. Really sturdy. Plan to get some stuff from Schiit to upgrade my listening experience when school is out.

On the go, I use Blitzwolf FYE1s. Nice and cheap, so don't mind if they get knocked around or lost. They still sound decent however. I also have the Anker soundbud slims as backups if they run out of batteries, and the standard apple cabled earphones.

What do you guys use?

I've got nothing fancy. Just hand-me-down iPhone earbuds and a ~$30 Plantronics standard office-grade headset.

Superlux HD 668B, best sound $30-$60 can buy.

AKG K92 is my closed option for walking around outside, being on the bus etc. but they're not even half as good. Actually they are proper crap for the price of $45 I paid for them. AKG is dead.

I used Superlux HD 668B for years and i recently upgraded to Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. This one is better than most commercial and gaming headphones under 200$ and works really well for gaming and watching movies/TV shows.

Audio-Technica ATH-M20x

I used to have headphones die on me every few months but ever since I got this guy, I've had no issues. It's been 3 years since I got these and they're still going strong. I could probably upgrade if I want too, but I might just wait out the current headphone's lifetime, however long that may end up being. XD

Outdoor headphones: Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 (closed back, they are great, sound is like a high 7 focusing more on treble and higher frequiences so lower end is kind of naked but it's good for female vocals and high toned instruments like Alto sax and violin.)

Home headphones: Sennhiser HD600s, 300 ohms nice mid range and super comfy just the pads tend to collect a lot of materials so I clean them occasionaly.

My dream headphones are the 1000 buck stuff ZMF sells lol

I'm mostly using my Samsung Wireless Galaxy Buds. Super comfortable in my ears plus a lengthy battery life.

When gaming at home on my desktop, I use my Corsair HS50 Stereo Gaming Headset. I love its sound quality, snugliness, and overall appearance. Most of all, it has a very generous price tag.

Sennheiser HD 558 on the go. I've been using the same ones since December 2014. Powered by a Plenue D.

Nothing when I'm at home, because speakers are better and less of a hassle.

SE215s or QC35 II if I don't feel like dealing with wires.

I have a pair of AirPods that have pretty much been relegated to rare use at home since they cannot block noise at all on the metro and basically becomes useless since I need to turn the volume up to dangerous levels in order to hear.

No I'm not an audiophile.

Yeah, monoprice desktop ones and Topping NX4 DSD, the first ones are powered by a plug so I use these once the NX4 runs out of juice which I both use for a portable Amp/DAC and an at home one.

I use over ear studio reference Samson SR850s. They're definitely the best bang for the buck. They sound great, and they're really comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Also, they have solid construction.

I don't have any "On the go" headphones, as I don't take my music on the go.

How do you find the monoprice ones? I was looking at Schiit but they are pretty expensive. Monoprice amps look to be more affordable.

I don't use my Beyers on the go so wouldn't need a portable one, only one for desktop.

The monoprice ones are ok, they have a good sound sig for the HD600s which is warm, and it has enough juice to power up to 600 ohms. Tho the frequency range is just 24bits/96000khz compared to the topping NX4 that can go up to DSD range and for a portable tiny amp it can power the HD600s on high gain half volume which is impressive. Though since you are just an at home listener I honestly recommend the NX4 DSD, even though it's a portable DAC/Amp it does better than the monoprice as a desktop one as well and it's only about 150 bucks when the monoprice ones are just like 100 bucks. The NX4 DSD has a neutral sound sig so for bright headphones or any headphone not heavy on mid-range it works perfectly.

Phillips Fidello X2's with a vmoda mod mic on PC, + a creative sound blaster amp. Works wonderfully. Outstanding sound quality all around.

For consoles, I have another dedicated creative sound blaster AMP + Ultrasones 880s Grado's, or whatever headset I feel like using, I have a collection.

For on the go, Bose Noise Cancelling headphones. Not a fan of the build quality but they sound great with the noise cancelling feature on. Also have a pair of Vmoda cross-fades. And some random pair of 200$ earbuds. Forget the name atm.

Oh the G-series of headsets. I owned 5 different pairs of the G930 headset which is fairly similar and all 5 of them broke in the same spot, I loved them so much that I kept getting new ones (mostly on warranty, out of the 5 headsets I owned I only paid for 2 of them) but eventually I just gave up. The plastic hinges (the ones that have the L and R symbols on them) break way too easily, the last pair I owned I treated like an egg but seemingly just the strain of repeatedly (and carefully) sliding it on and off my head seemed to be too much for that plastic hinge.

I hope yours lasts better than mine did (each survived about 8 - 14 months) but just be prepared that this could happen to your headset.

Currently I use a Steelseries Arctis 7 headset which I'm pretty happy with. I wasn't too sold on the headband on the first but I got used to it surprisingly fast. Decent enough audio quality for me (I'm no audiophile though) and I've got good hopes that they will hold up far longer than my G930 headsets did.

HD 600s are midrange focused, balanced in tone. HD 650s have the benefit of having a bit more focus on the lower range thus making it more open than the hd 600s (it has more soundstage) but if anything if you live in the US get the massdrop ones. HD 6XX or HD 58X (basically both of them are the budget 650 and 660, HD 660 are the 600s but added soundstage and more focus on the lower tone while still keeping that great midrange but also having a lower impedence too. You won't need an amp/dac for the 58X btw so keep that in mind.)
