Sennheiser HD580 headphones. Cardas cable. Antique Sound Labs MG-Head OTL tube amplifier.

edit: And when I don't use my headphone setup, I use my home theater's sound system. It consists of a Harman Kardon AVR-354 7.1 receiver, 2x JBL Studio Series S310 towers, 1x JBL Studio Series S-Center, 2x JBL Studio Series surrounds, and a Mirage Audio OMNI S10 subwoofer. Samsung BD-1500 Blu-Ray and 42" Samsung 1080p LED-LCD.

Sennheiser HD201s and onboard sound (ALC888). I'm not too impressed with comfort, though everything sounds fine.

In a week or so, I'll be listening with Koss PortaPros instead of these uncomfortable Sennheiser HD201s. I got a full refund on the Senn HD201s from NewEgg, I found out that I had $14.25 in Amazon credit, and so I was able to order these for $20.75 shipped.

PortaPros are really comfortable and have really good sound too, especially for the price. The only problem is that you probably shouldn't leave the house with them on your head, there are only a few people that can get away with wearing them in public. :p:

I listen to my music with Teufel Concept E Magnum 5.1 speakers.

^^^ Those PortaPros don't even look remotely comfortable. But i guess looks can be deceiving.

From second-hand experience, they're supposed to be VERY comfortable. The temple pads keep the headphones from pressing too hard on your ears, the earpads are supposed to be decent too. The only negative feedback I heard from my uncle was that the foam pads need to be replaced every 2-3 years, though that's a few dollars fix. If I really don't like them, he'll give me $35 or whatever for them.

Im using an M-Audio Revo 5.1, M-Audio IE-40 ear buds, and when I feel like wearing cans I use my M-Audio Q40s. My brother is an engineer for M-Audio so I get their stuff on the cheap.

BD 770/80 and Prelude or I use two Harmon Kardons or old Philips HP 890. HK 247's Pre Amp and Old School HK 730 Twin for Main AMP (front channel stereo and or Headphones). DIY 5.1 speakers than can shake the room.

The HK 730's headphone out has to be heard to be believed.
