Fair enough. My recabled HD25-1 is officially the standard, as well it should be - it's an awesome sealed can in *almost* the same price range.

Sorry, but that just isn't going to happen unless someone wants to loan me a pair. I am *not* buying a pair.

I doubt this qualifies as an "obvious" omission, but I would love to see the Denon AH-D1000 make that list.

Oops, so it was.

I guess that means I was right...it's not an obvious omission at all.

Are you going to sell all the headphones when you're done, or are you just oozing cash out of your ears?

oh man.. 4 of the ones you listed I'm really interested in what you personally have to say. How much longer!

 

[epithetless]

All right, let's try this again: I realize it can be had for much cheaper, but the Equation Audio RP-15MC's list price is $99...and I, for one, would love to read your thoughts on it next to the aforementioned competition.

Go Go Team D1000!!!

yah, they're actually really nice. The main complaint I have is the lack of soundstage, but some may prefer the up front in your face sound. It's great for trance. The bass kicks on these things a lot harder than the other phones mentioned.

Skylab,
Nice initiative! The only ones missing in your line up for me that hasn´t already been mentioned would be the K271S and the DT-660 (which I´ve never heard or know the price on in the US, but I´m a bit curious about it).

I am oozing cash for now, but I do hope to sell some/all of them, although I will almost surely keep the one (or two

) that I like best...
