I have made a review thread comparing the Sony MDR-1R with the Sennhesier Momentum, MDR-Z1000, Logitech UE 6000, Audio Technica ATH-M50 and AIAIAI TMA-1...

OT, let me be the first to recommend Hotlanta Joja for next years international meet.
If the nat meet was held in ATL, the same number of people would sign up as usual and there would be plenty of activity beforehand, but when the meet actually came 'round only about 4 people would actually show up.
