Best sounding headphones you have owned?


At one time I had gone through Shure, early Stax, Audio Technica electret condenser....and more.

What have you owned in both expensive and inexpensive headphones that gave you pleasurable listening?

RAAL SR-1b with TI-1b interface, without a doubt.  No other headphone gives as true a representation of a live musical event in a performing space, period.  So what if they don't have massive bass, perhaps their only drawback, although the bass they do produce sounds much more realistic than closed compression bass found in earcups.  Many other phones are good but the SR-1b moves the needle forward like no other.  IMO.

@yyzsantabarbara Yes, I do have the Star 8 cable.  I bought it from Danny when it first came out and I agree that it adds some needed bass and warmth while still maintaining all the detail.  I have a Bricasti M1SE DAC/network streamer and love the SR-1b with it.
