Well I've got pretty limited experience with headphones but at this moment in time I would chose the HD650, the RS1 and…. Well I'll follow the trend of leaving the last space blank for an as-yet-unheard set of phones

Pioneer Monitor 10 in new and original condition.
Sony MDR R10, probably bass heavy.
Sennheiser HD 800 for overall balance.

Sennheiser HD 800 (closest to perfection so far – imaging, soundstage, accuracy, neutrality)
One of my Electrostats (for its relaxing liquidity and its impressive soundstage)
Etymotic ER-4P (modified and perfectly equalized through my iAudio 7 still the most impulsive IEM in my book)

That's what I have now. I'm also interested in the T1; there's a chance for it to make it to my list.

1) Senn HD-800 for overall excellence

2) Beyer Vintage DT-48 for its' intimate, somewhat dark, midrange-centric, unabashedly headphone-ish sound

3) AKG K-1000 for its' speed, resolution and general brilliance on music it "likes"

I have heard no univeral IEM that's good enough, yet.

Contenders not yet evalusted; Beyer T-1, Beyer DT-48 Nagra era, various Stax, Sony Qualia, Sony CD-3000, Final Audio Design FI-DC1601SS

Phone I lust for most (but disallowed under OP rules): Sony R-10

Realistically, two at home, two to-go.

@Home:
1. K701
2. D2000

To go:
1. W3
2. RE0

If I had more budget:
1. JH-13
2. Edition 8
3. HD800
