Just a few comments on recent purchases.
Musician Draco R2R DAC:
This is my 1st R2R DAC and I’m very impressed, all the opinions about that specific R2R sound are true. Tharbamar is 100% on point in his yt review. Besides that I still prefer standard Delta Sigma dacs while listening with IEMs. For room speakers R2R is my gold standard from now on.
TRI Meteor:
Above standard Hybrid sound. Nothing to complain here. I like it a little more than the Aria signature. Very light and comfortable to wear for long sessions.
Tripowin Melee:
Also above standard hybrids and best bang for buck in 2021. Especially for bass lovers. Comfortable to wear for long sessions.
HZ Heart Mirrors:
My go to budget vocal IEMs. Excellent for listening to sentimental soft rock and pop. Very light and comfortable to wear for longe sessions.
JQ Audio 4U:
These arrived today and I already am addicted to that excellent beryllium sound. Excellent driver implementation. BUT, all tips that came with it suck ass. They only work for me with Final E tips. Of all the few single DD IEMs I own (HZ Heart Mirrors, TForce Yuan Li) these are the best overall. The driver is fast, punchy, clear, detailed and smooth as butter. Very light and comfortable to wear for long sessions.
TForce Yuan Li:
Kind of a disappointment for me. Technically very good with details etc. but to harsh in the upper mids. Fatigue kicks in after 20 min. Comfortable to wear.
Moondrop Aria:
Also good bang for buck but a little boring for my tastes. Good IEM for background listening while working. Comfortable to wear.
ISN H40:
Very impressed by these. My go to bass head IEMs. Non fatiguing dark sound with great stage and a slamming bass like there’s no tomorrow. Somehow they are uncomfortable in my ears. Short nozzle tips needed for maximum satisfaction.
Blon BL-Max:
My 1st Blons and all I can say is these are incredibly good for the money. Non fatiguing, pleasing sound without sounding cheap. Addicting sound signature with good bass. They fit perfect in my ears I can’t confirm other reviewers criticism. For my ears comfortable to wear for long sessions.

Just pulled the trigger on new Sunnheiser HD 660S and already feeling buyer’s remorse as I’m sure I could have bought much better for 5 bills.

Looks like your desk is to small for your monitor and all your amps XD otherwise looks nice

Thats a stock photo. I dont get the monitor until next week.
I have two desks one for just listening and photoshop work with all my head stuff.
The other is a 60" monster that will have this on it and replace fual 34" Dells Ultra wides.
I do some gaming, l4d, dying light, Far Cry and a aircraft simuator called Xplane 11.
The two monitors have that in the middle bezel…this will help that out!

Depends on what kind of sound signature you like.
The choices starting getting pretty good at $500.00
600, 650 or 660s all very great choices here…I have had many other cans $4K-$5K etc…I often go back and listen with my 650’s, I am right now! With a good dac and map they are still very likeable…a really decent series of headphones…enjoy them!

Christmas presents for two of my children.
Mele & jelly cable for my daughter.
Grado GW100s for my eldest son.
Still awaiting 7Hz Timeless for youngest son.
Their mum says I spoil them. Mind you my daughter did just manage to talk me into me giving her my Sennheiser Momentums. I’ll have to find a new pair of closed back headphones for commuting.
