Anyone else have a headphone problem?

Illustration for article titled Anyone else have a headphone problem?

It’s become apparent to my wife now that I migrated my “work” sets home... I just set the HE-4XX’s aside (they hurt my ears after a certain amount of time, too heavy but I really love their profile) and pulled out the Meze 99 classic’s out (they have an amazing headband system...) but both sound pretty great through my Shiit Magni/Modi stack, despite not being the highest power setup. My wife still uses my castoff HE598's and my HE6XX’s are in the case next to me (my favorite long-session open back cans that are still with me after the flood). I miss what I lost in the flood but as I eye other sets I remind myself I have plenty.

I have a problem and I don’t even buy expensive headphones.
