I definitely have favorites, but I try to keep them all in use so they don't gather dust. They all have a very distinct, yet niche purpose for me.

Do you game? If so, what is your go to for gaming?

I'd say most often it's the HD8XX, it's a good mix of great imaging for fps games but also good soundstage for immersive single player titles, comfort is also great. But sometimes I need a closed back or something with a larger sound for more immersion or something for when I listen to music while gaming or for more comfort. I think what I do is excessive though.

Thanks for the reply. Not excessive, at all. Nothing wrong with being particular.

Have you considered selling or trading them? I am sure that you would be able to get rid of the ones that you don't use often as there are plenty of places for selling used equipment.

I had a small collection (in the lower and mid tier) but I got rid of them as I didn't use them. Now, I barely buy anything as I do a ton of research before buying anything. EQ can help to try something new without needing to buy it.

I have considered it, but I'm honestly just too lazy to go through the hassle of listing and shipping as I have done it before. The resell value of a lot of my headphones is also quite low so I'd rather just keep them til they break. I'm not in need of money so no reason to.
