for the moment we have a good number of evaluations / report cards of Sennheiser, HiFiMan, STAX, AKG-  Especially HD800, HE500, SR507, K701
 
Not so good for Beyerdynamic, Audeze, Grado, Shure and so on.

I could cover a ton if I looked into my past experiences with them but it would all be based on memory

IMHO after 3 minutes, and may be less,  is always based on memory

 
I think a good use of common sense is needed, I think I know pretty well some of the headphone I do not own anymore. So I will evaluate them. We haven't put any rule about this.

Remember to keep the scoring criteria in mind and don't give something a line of 10's just because you like them.  "HD600 and DT880 headphones, they can have an average about 6.5 to 7.5."  IMO, no headphone would receive a line of 10's if this is the baseline.  Let's keep it real!

In theory a line of 10s would represent a perfect headphone.

You bring up a good point that people should consider their reference points.

It's like figure skating. One judge's 8 is another's 10, and another's 3. And then there's the corruption.

 

[Alessandro1]

I consider 10 to be the best, not necessary perfection.
 
Till now I've haven't received a lot of report-cards containing a lot of 10 inside.
 
Also the low judgments are rare. Not a great amount of 4 and 5.

You haven't seen my judgements yet... Unfortunately 10 for me means perfection or near perfection.

Some people is asking me things such this:
 
"Ok, I would like to write a report card but I do not own Dt880 or HD600, how can I do?"
 
Referring to this "rule":
 
- For reference we think about HD600 and DT880 headphones, they can have an average about 6.5 to 7.5.
 
It is not mandatory! It's not so strict. It's just to give an example.

 

[Ableza]

IMO a person cannot score a headphone they do not own (or have not owned, more accurately.)  What would they base their opinon on, a short-term trial?  Hearing it once at a show?  Reading reviews from others on line?  Such opinions would be invalid, IMO.  Only score headphones you have lived with for more than a few minutes.

First of all, thanks for your contribution.
 
Unfortunately, the number of data is too low at the moment. I hope it will grow in the future to build some reliable graph.
