Someone earlier in the thread mentioned a current tally of positive opinions for cans mentioned so far in this thread. Having nothing better to do with my time here at work, I've gone thru and made a list...
This list is based on positive views expressed by users for particular cans in their threads. Where possible, I tried to assess wether people had actually listened to the cans they were praising. Give aways like "I've heard that these cans are..." tipped me off that they hadn't heard the can before... Like I said before votes were tallied on members positive praise of a headphone. There were also a number of posts querying what a can was like/how it performed in this area ect. which didn't add to the thread at all...
1) Sennheiser HD600
2) Sennheiser HD580
3) AKG K501
4) Etymotics ER4P/S
5) Sony MDR-V6
6) Sony MDR-CD3000
6) Grado SR125
6) Grado SR80
6) AKG K1000
10) Koss KSC-35
10) Grado SR60
10) Koss Sporta/Portapros
These are the top 10 ranking cans from this long standing sticky thread. Wether it is an accurate reflection of Favorite/Best headphones on Head-Fi is debatable.
There were also a number of cans with one or two votes that I thought would have rated higher like the Beyer DT880, Grado RS-1/RS-2 and a few AT cans.
Anyway, it passed some time for me...
Enjoy.
