I have a collection of headphones and iems that is probably unhealthy, but we are not here to talk about that. Instead, I came into work and realized I’ve been using the same KZ-zs10 pros for a few years of zoom (has a mic on the wire), music, and whatever else at work with no complaint.
Given all the other options out there, or that I own, it surprises me that such a humble iem has performed so well. Which brings me to my question: what is your old reliable? Your everyday workhorse? What headphone or iem do you reach for over and over again?
For on the go I rock either some KZ ZSN Pro X dirty buds or my EarFun Air Pros.
For gaming and general computer usage I got my Samson SR850s, which are just brilliant for the price. Get some deeper ear pads and I can wear them all day long.
For getting high and critically listening to music tho, I friggen love my Monolith M565 open back planar magnetics. Holy STINK, as somebody who grew up poor not knowing anything audiophile, these things are God damn glorious.
