With October wrapping up, which headphone do you think is the flavor of the month? I think it was pretty clear cut in the IEM section but I'm not so sure here.

JVC HA-RX 900 and 700


They deserve a split award.

D2000 still going strong...and lots of Beyer 770 and DT-150, and for some reason a big swell in AKGs...

I think the head-fi flavor of the past 2 months has been the Denon D1001 ...look at how often it's recommended to people.

The D2000 for sure. We can blame the low impedance and boomy bass of it. I went and tried a pair of D1000 (or D1001) in a shop and it was the first "cheap" headphone I've listened to that (to me) didn't sound fairly blah, so I'm not surprised they get quite a few recommendations.

Stax (SR-Lambda, SR-007A, ..) seem to get a lot of love these days. As well does the K701, HD650, D2000 and others.
Aka, quite hard to say which one if the FOTM

I'd go with the ESW10JPN - pure good looks and high prices.

Next Jan. they'll be cheap as chips!

I rarely see a thread without the a900 or k701 mentioned.
