Any headphone addicts out there?

Howdy all.

To feed my strange addiction to headphones (approx 18 sets so far), I have bought a set of Audioquest Nighthawks Carbons. Anyone else familiar with these? Apparently, you have to burn them in for 150 hours before they sound their best....

They certainly have a polarising sound....

I would not say I am in any way an expert on headphones - but I do enjoy listening to music on them so much more. It all going on inside your head is fantastic.

Also watching a film/DVD with them on my laptop whilst SWMBO watches the soaps is equally awesome - here the action all goes on inside your head!!

I hope all your leads and plugs are grown from a single crystal. Nothing else should be good enough for headphones that need running-in.

Had a pair of Final Piano Forte earphones which were incredible.

Everyday pair are a set of Sennheiser Momentum. So comfortable.
