Which can for what music?

Recommended Posts

I'm sure many of you have multiple cans. Some you keep, some you let go. Some collect dust, some are constantly used. Just list out which can you prefer to use to listen to which type(?) of music.

 

I'll start of:

 

Beyer DT990pro = bedroom can

AKG K501 = classical can

AT W100 = emotional can

MS Pro = critical do anything can

Senn PX200 = go anywhere can

Beyer DT250-250 + PA2V2 + D-465/141 = Sleeping

Grado SR325i + Headsave Classic + E-MU 0404 = Main

ER6 + H10 = Portable

KSC75/PX100 into any grubby source = For fun and laughter

SR60g + Headsave Classic + E-MU 0404 = Amateur simple sound editing.

I'm a little different from you guys. I dun have cans for the bedroom, kitchen or toilet. Me work by FOTM. Anything i bought recently, i listen. After it becomes old stuff, its the drawer it goes.

 

So i just got a ER4P. I use it for outdoors too. Its bass was superceded by my footsteps and cord noise. whistling.gif

RS-1 - emotional, everything & everywhere (bedroom, office, traveling) can

GS1000 - Jazz & acoustic musics can, it has the impact of tom tom and snare drums, the bass are weighty and more real than the other two

MS-Pro - bring-out-to-audition-friends'-setups can

 

Yes, I am a Grado guy :D
