Hmm...
1: DT880 Pro. Current A cans, love them to death. A bit soft compared to my AKG's, but then they open up, and the highs start sparkling, and they just *sing*...
2: AKG K272HD. Bright and fast, and got a great deal used. My only portable closed-back mid-fi can so far, but a bit thin-sounding for home use.
3: ATH-A700. First mid-fi cans, got them for cheap off of ebay with a broken wing, then put a few dozen hours of sound through them in the glee of the first 'real' pair of headphones!
4: SE215. Don't like IEM's much, but these fit the bill for listening on the go. Right side crackles...going to lay them to rest soon.
5: K240DF. Used a few times for A/V gigs, but never for music. Sits in my gig bag, lonely and sad.
6: Bose Triport. 1st set ever, now used the least...

And then there's the pile of broken and useless headphones in the closet...but we don't speak of those!

1. Denon AH-D5000  The last time I posted in this thread the A900Xs took the lead, momentarily the D5000s are my favorites again, instrument timbre is spot on.
2. Audio Technica ATH-A900X I find them musically more balanced and cohesive than ATH W1000X, which I found to be easily provoked into aggressiveness in the high mids and low treble.
3. Roland RH-300 If these had a bigger soundstage and more top end they could beat both D5000s and A900Xs. Their tonality is really natural, 'analogue' and grainless.

Oh yes I'm a very big fan of Polk.  My next equipment whether it be headphones or speakers or monitors, I will be moving away from them.

I used to be too. Mainly for their car stereo equipment. Sounds like the 8000s are pretty sweet!

I do not consider myself to be an audiophile in any way, but oh my.  They are simply the greatest set of headphones I have ever owned/tried.  My only gripe is that they need two AAA's to work...

From what I saw of the frequency response graph on InnerFidelity.com they looked good.

Ultrasone Performance 840............not a slap being in 7th

For me with HTPC (i7 CPU, Win 8.1 JRiver ver. 20 USB3.0) to iDSD Micro DAC to Schiit Audio ASGARD 2 AMP:
 
1. Sennheiser HD-650
2. Sennheiser RS-180s (No amp with these as they are amped by the wireless base unit.)
3. Koss Porta Pros ("Modded" with better ear-pads)
4. Super.Fi3  (Tie between 4 & 5 depending on song/genre)
5. VMODA Bass-Freqs  (Tie between 4 & 5 depending on song/genre)
6. Photive PH-BTX6 (Bluetooth headphones in wired-mode)
7. Photive PH-BTX6 (Bluetooth headphones in bluetooth-mode)
8. Apple Earpods
9. Apple Earbuds
10.  Grado SR-225e  (If you take "comfort" out of the equation, then they place 4th easily, but they were REALLY uncomfortable!) 
 
Disclaimer:  The GRADOs were EXCELLENT if you want detail and clarity. A bit too bright for our tastes, but most of the headphones we have are bass-heavy, so that is what we are used to, and now sounds "natural" to us I guess.  While the Sennheisers were both preferred clearly over the Grados, the Koss Porta Pros were neck and neck in terms of sound quality, soundstage, and detail.  (Once the Porta Pros were modded with these: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTVFNYU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 pads.)  Noticeable difference from the stock "foam covers" that they ship with.
 
 
Audition Suite:
 
1.  Josei - "I See You While Playing The Piano (11.2MHz dsd)"
2.  Holst - "Mars Bringer of War"  (11.2MHz dsd)
3.  Schubert - "Klaviersonaten a-moll D 845 und a-dur 959" (24-bit/96 Surround 5.1 flac)
4. Ayumi Hamasaki - "Evolution" (128kbps MP3)
5. Roger Waters - "What God Wants, Part 1" (Vinyl rip 16-bit/44.1 Stereo flac)
6. Queen - "The Show Must Go on" (11.2MHz dsd)

[takato14]

1: Sennheiser HD250 Linear II: Perfect (sometimes too much so, these rip things apart), very comfy, huge stage, unmatched bass and treble extension, ridiculous clarity and detail
-
2: AKG Q701: Close to the 250 but middy and less refined by comparison; possibly more "natural" and easier to listen to 
-
3: Sony DR-Z7: Close to the Qs but slightly less refined overall, more bass, less treble, smaller soundstage
-
4: Pioneer Monitor 10: Slightly less refined than any of the above but very very nice sounding in tonality and timbre; these are special
-
-
5: Yamaha YHD-1: Amazing little things with a great soundstage and clarity; a bit too dark
-
6: Pioneer Monitor 10-II: Ok these things have some REALLY weird frame resonances going on that makes them sound very uneven and wrong, but are MUCH more natural and detailed sounding in their timbre and presentation than the HD250; these need some mods to shine 
-
-
-
7: Sony MDR-605: Incredibly competent for their price; huge soundstage with excellent placement, not very grainy, a bit of upper midrange nasties and warmth but very listenable
-
-
8: Pioneer Monitor 8: Good but not great; ATH-M50 with a huge soundstage, less upper midrange B/S, and better detail, but a bit artificial sounding; ugly as sin
9: Sterling TE-400: Good beaters, warm and sparkly with good soundstaging, detailed but somewhat grainy, really cheaply made
-
-
10: Pioneer SE-500 (modded): Still keeping these; they don't have a lot of bass but they sound a lot like the M10 up top with speedier transients and can sound marvelous with the right material

Time for an update methinks.
 
1 - Hifiman HE-500 (open vent mod) + Emotiva mini-X a100 Gen2 - breathtaking every time.
   - The next bunch are all VERY close
2 - Fostex T20RP MKII (Nick's Make-up pad mod etc + Shure pads + DIY comfort headband) - it's coloured but does SO much right.
3 - Beyerdynamic DT990 (vintage 600 ohm + Philips SHP 2500 ear pads) - this headphone is nearly perfect.
4 - Sennheiser Momentum 
5 - AKG K340 (bass heavy?) - would be #2 if it only had sub bass and a more bass detail/texture.
 
6 - Fostex T10 + XB500 ear pads - nothing extra special, but I really dig the FR for super relaxing with juicy bass EDM - sort of boomy/textured bass at the same time if you can believe that.
 
7 - everything else that doesn't get much use
