New Gear? Post here!

I just bought a pair of white Kef Q150s and am blown away by the imaging at nearfield listening. Also, with some EQ they can handle down to ~35hz so I don't feel the need for a small sub to fill in the low end (granted I won't use them for movies).

What new gear have you all acquired recently??

@Enutro1120
Not new electronics, but just picked up new earpads for my Sennheiser HD650s after a decade of faithful service. Gotta love the durability and the replaceable/serviceable parts.

just picked up some Eris 3.5s for my desk. at €100, can't complain - they sound fine, not overblown in terms of bass (I've had the 4.5s in this room an they have bass that sticks around until tomorrow). happy. Oh, and the Shure BT adapters for a set of my 215s. They sound great.

Picked up the Aeon 2 Noire used, it was in great condition but something didn't sound quite right - my right ear was ringing after listening. Suspected it had a channel imbalance and it absolutely did. Even had my SO have a listen - didn't tell her what the issue was and she came to the same conclusion I did. Contacted Dan Clark Audio and got a RMA, took a few weeks but just got them back and WOW do they sound fantastic- I can't stop listening to them.
