We've seen what Stereophile recommends, but the consensus seems to be that they don't know what they're talking about. So what would the Head-Fi list look like?
Headphones (stock, non-IEM)
Class A:
Sennheiser HE90
Sony MDR-R10
Sony Qualia 010
AKG K1000
Stax Omega II
Sennheiser HE60
Class AB:
AudioTechnica L3000
Grado PS-1
Grado HP1000
Class B:
Sennheiser HD650
Sennheiser HD600
Sony MDR-SA5000
AKG K701
AKG K601
Beyerdynamic DT880
Stax 4040
AudioTechnica W5000
AudioTechnica AD2000
Grado RS-1
Class C:
Sony MDR-SA3000
Sony MDR-CD3000
AKG K501
Sennheiser HD595
Sennheiser HD580
Beyerdynamic DT990
Audiotechnica A900LTD
Audiotechnica W2002

Obviously, this is all very gear-dependent, so I guess I'm talking about maximum potential when matched with the right amp and source and interconnects.
