From what appears to be a Greek Technology magazine called HiTech. Of all the closed, under 100ohms, over 100dB/mw headphones, the MOS IXOS 1001, which I ordered a couple days ago, ranked highest! There appears to be a rating even for binaural usefulness. Lets see if we can decifer the rest!

P.S. Checkout the homepage and all the other Excel files they have for speakers, DVD-Audio, you name it. I've never seen any magazine with this comprehensive a review system. In fact, there's a year old one for DJ CD Players and the Dual CD Numark 88 got the highest rating and I ordered two of the tabletop single CD versions that weren't out yet at the time! Man, I really bought some good ****!

This works great for translating individual word groups:

The IXOS is rated as having better bass, mids, treble, and dynamic range than even the AKG K501.

I got most of it translated throught that online translator.

First column after the hp name is price
Next is overall grade
Price/performance ratio
Overall sound
Overall level
(unsure about the mostly blank column)
Then lows (contains ? and control)
Mids (contains musicality and lucidity)
Highs (same as mids)
Dynamics
Body
Sense
Weight

The rest has less to do with the sound, construction, material, etc.
