Hello everyone,
I'd like to offer my humble contribution to this amazing forum that I've been lurking for so long Infact, I've got all of the mentioned headphones because of the many many good opinions about them read here.
Since i'm quite inexperienced with this kind of comparisons (never did one before), I'd like to build up this topic with the help of you guys! It will start really simple with a basic comparison between the models, and with your posts/requests I will build in more and more details.

Source: Xonar Essence ST (stock), 44.1, 24bit, 0db gain, Musicbee WASAPI output
Highs quantity: Headphones tested are all quite bright except the XB700, so it was quite difficult to make a chart. Let's say the first models in the rank have the most shrill/piercing highs.
HD681
M50S
MS1
HD681B
HD681F
HD668B
XB700
Mids quantity (ranking): (Consider this rank relative to highs and bass. Basically i'll put the most flat headphones at the top, and the V-shaped ones at the bottom.)
