Some fellow debuggers ask me what brand of headphones I use during debugging. It depends on the working environment. In the office I use STAX electrostatic headphones, one of the previous versions of their Basic System that I bought 4 years ago, similar to this one:

I learnt about STAX in 2000, Moscow, when I was obsessed with pure sound and rushed to the nearest dealer to buy the old version of SR-001:

    I enjoy my HD555 - http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD555-HD-555-Audiophile-Headphones/dp/B0001FTVDQ which are amazing sound and I can’t fault them for debuggging.

    The wireless HD130’s I have however are disappointing sound wise but usefull agressive head movements are required during a debugging session - http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-RS-130-Wireless-Headphones/dp/B0007QN18U

    I think STAX sounds right for debugging like STACKS :-)
