Be the coolest kid on the bus with these awesome leather-lined earmuffs that also play music (wonderfully). In addition to keeping your ears warm for the winter, these little-used, because I'm not really a headphone guy, headphones are kind of like if you shot Magnepans with a shrink-ray and then strapped them to your head. I mean that in a good way. I believe they're the first generation of these well-thought-of ear-speakers.

They're wonderful sounding headphones. Warm but detailed, just the way I like things. My only note is that they do require a headphone amp or a good, non-afterthought, headphone output to shine. I used them on my Leben CS-300 x, unbalanced, and my BMC PureDAC, balanced. Which suggests correctly that I have both the balanced and unbalanced cables for them. Why am I selling them? One, I really only listen to headphones when traveling and dragging a gasoline generator and my Leben on the airplane is tough these days with TSA working on no-pay. Two, I need to help my wife pay for her new camera.

$400 Haven-only price. Stand not included. But its pretty, no?

I’m tempted but trying to hold off for a DAC. And some kef 101’s. Might have to sell a couple things.
 
Tempting, but I rarely listen to headphones anymore - except on airplanes and in hotel rooms.

When I do listen at home, I use the Stax SRX Mk III.

That's where I find myself, though not with the Stax. I use either a pair of Sony noise cancelling earbuds or dare I say it, Apple Earpods, on an airplane. I got them as a gift! Don't judge. They're pretty neat. I sometimes bring my Focal headphones for hotel listening, they can be run off my iPad and sound great. I don't own a portable headphone amp, if I did I might carry along the Audeze.

I have had the Audeze on a borrowed Astell&Kern portable high res player, like a fancy ipod. It drove them pretty well.
 
I have a pair of LCD-3's and they are incredible headphones. You really can't go wrong with the LCD-2's, especially at this price!
