Nobody around here at any meets has had the T1 and i haven't heard it or the ED10. I have heard the three above extensively though and they are really all superb. I think i heard the D7000 at a meet but it didn't give me enough of an impression to place it up there with those. Never heard the Grado, I have a lower end one i gave to my wife to use out of the computer-a SR225...no interest in the Grados really.
having heard all of the headphones listed, except for the Grado's and those particular Stax(though i didnt really like the O2'S when i heard them at canjam).
i say the jh-13's are the best, with the LCD-2's a very close second, with the hifiman's a bit further behind (and i i know they dont really count since they arent out yet, but the JH-3A is the best, at least the version shown off at canjam was)
and to be honest, i dont think the rest of them are even in the same category(baring the ones i havent heard) though i would say that i personally like the Ed8's and D7000's more than both the HD800's and the T1's.
HE-... series brought high end sound to those who didn't have the money to buy other flagship models, other models that perhaps did not outperform the HE series.
