Fanboy alert:
Beyer DT990. Fun as hell, but with a V-sound. Its detail and balance, though, makes it as close to reference as a V-sound will get.

I think he means a headphone that's musical and fun, but not necessarily neutral, accurate, etc.

the HD650, it's not up there with the top "reference" cans, but it does sound pretty euphonic.

Edit: Euphonic Non-Reference headphone...
...and yeah, like Stewgriff said, overly pleasing, overly harmonically distorted, non-neutral sound.
I already got K-701 for editing/reference work.

HD650 and Grados and Koss - agree with most everyone else.
First time that has happened this year.

W5000s (yes a little bit moded) and RS-1s (also moded pads)
kings of neutrality are K701s (but that wasn't the topic)

The HD650, of course. But it also makes a good reference because of its neutrality.

hey, is that an Ibanez Artist? I have that same guitar! I don't have the RS-1's yet, though - but perhaps someday.
as far as fun is concerned, I get a kick out of my KSC-75's - a cheap thrill.
