I think it can.

Let's recall that the OP (Duncan) originally asked:

"...basically we're going to try and get an FAQ going ~ to which end, we need your opinions (good and bad ~ but no flame wars) for any popular headphones that are available for less than $500 (standard MSRP... Discounted products aren't really applicable)

The replies need to be as short, and concise as possible,..."


So let's keep it to the point, and just those cans priced at $500. US retail or less.


Of the '$500. or less' models I've owned thus far, I like the AKG K701 best. This includes Senn HD600 & HD497, Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs, Koss Pro 4AAA, AKG K240M & K240DF, some cheap Sony earbuds & MDR-V6, Beyer DT-770.
