It seem like 50% people her spended over $1000. Very interesting.

Counting only the gear that I kept in approximate amounts, too damn much. It has been a fun ride though. I’ll never forget my first Hi-fi experience with my Meze 99 and BTR5. At this point the only gear I’m saving for is either ZMF Caldera, Meze Elite, Audeze LCD 5, or Focal Utopia.

3 Amps, 1 DAC, 1 BT unit: $3,300

4 Headphones: $3,600

2 IEMs: $1,350

Cables + adapters: $1,000

Pads, mostly ZMF and Focal: $650

Total: Over $9,900

Gear sold or returned: $2,600

I prefer not to know

Moondrop Aria $110

Shouer S12 $180

Moondrop Blessing 2 $420

Sennheiser HD560s $300

Kiwi Ears Melody $140

Headphones can add up fast. Here are some I remember.

• AirPod Pro x3 - $750
• Westone 4R - $450
• Ultrasone Pro 900 - $350
• Audeze LCD-3 - $950
• Timeless 7Hz AE - $250
• Sennheiser - $400
• ADV M5-TWS - $500
• ADV M3 - $80

That’s $3,730, and I’m sure I’ve bought a few more over the years.

HD800, Corda Stack comes in at 3100 AUD retail. So probably a bit more on top of that, given entry level, in ears, gaming headphones, whatever.

Do accessories count? DACs, amplifiers, IEM cables and eartips etc.?

Just headphones/IEMs: $60 for 2x KSC75, $80 for Moondrop Aria, $25 for Moondrop Chu, $15 for Moondrop Quarks DSP, $25 for Truthear Hola = $205 all in all

Including accessories: $18 for two Apple dongles (Lightning and USB-C), $20 for two different pairs of Spinfit eartips, $18 for an extra IEM cable, adding that up to the total above gives $261.

About $3200:

JDS Labs Element II amp/DAC- $400

Sennheiser HD600- $300

Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro- $170

Hifiman Sundara- $300

Grado SR325e- $300

Kennerton GH40- $900

JM Audio Editions modded Hifiman R7DX (7th revision)- $250

uh…

Sennheiser HD6XX (+ customs fees): 250ish €

ZMF suede pads ( + customs fees again, do you see a pattern here? I hate Europe) 80ish €

FiiO K5 pro ESS: 200€

Xduoo TA-26: 250€

Tons of 6SN7 tubes and 6080 power tubes: ??? probably 200€ or more (it is not worth it)

FiiO KA1: 50€

Truthear Hexa: 80€

Aful Performer 5: 220€

Uh… 1330€… so about 1440$. I hate myself rn. To be fair, I’ll stop with IEMs for now or at least sell my old stuff before getting something else. The market is developing so quickly that not buying things is the best choice atm.

my entire existence ? oh well let me think… so i’m born in october 1986

i own the first beats studio by dre was blown away with bass (i was young) then akg k451 that was really good to my ears…

bose Qc35 , Sony wxm4 , and after that the realisation with my first Grado Sr125x

i just re discovered the sound and after that … Grado Sr325X , Grado GW100X and now my last acquisation Focal Bathys (sorry for my english i speak french )
