Beyerdynamic T1
I have literally been listening for about five minutes to the T1, so it isn't burned-in yet, but I think this headphone is The One. I've been looking for something in the league of the Senn HD800, AKG K1000, or even the K701 is remarkable and worth considering.- mike1127

How Many Cans are Enough?!?
I have quite a few cans personally, but I feel 4 cans fill my ultimate needs. I'll break down my logic: 2 cans for home: HD650: laid back, "fun" pair. For super long listening sessions. A bottle of cabernet/scotch and a comfortable chair. Sit back and zone out. Wake up in the middle...- Eargasmo
