Most days, it starts off with what is nearby, but throughout the course of the day, as the playlist rolls on, curiosity could strike in wondering "how this song sounds on 'XYZ' pair". Other times, I just stick with whatever is on my head.

Lately, with the frigid cold weather in the Northeast these past few weeks, it has been a bit fortuitous to have a hot running Class A tube amp warm up the room, so that has also contributed to enjoying the high impedance Sennheisers more often, as well.

So really, there is no consistent rhyme or reason - just what is appealing for the moment.

I like that. Do you find yourself using more hours on the Utopia or the HD800?

Sadly, I have a lot more headphones than what shows on my flair, and I end up using many of the unlisted ones a lot more frequently, overall. Even as I type this now, I'm listening to an HD600 through the aforementioned tube amp.

But between those two though, I do prefer the Utopia more than the HD800. The punchiness and dynamism of the Utopia is more appealing to me (at least, right now) over the larger sensation of a headstage from the HD800, but there are times when those urges do flair up.

I guess it's a long drawn out way of saying I'm a giant pain in the ass, and need the freedom of change always at a moments notice. :P
