i don't have enough experience with electrostatics to say that i would want that over a dynamic, the HD650 to be exact, but hopefully that will change soon.

Out of all I've heard and owned thus far... Koss KSC-35. I find them lighter, more comfortable and compact than the KSC-75's, although the 35's hard plastic edges can be rough. While they both sound as good as my ancient PortaPro's, the band always catchs hair and can become uncomfortable for prolonged listening. I've heard mixed opinions of these Koss from overly bassy to no bass. IMHO, they have bass and tend to grow more over time, but are not rice-burner boomboxes. With some music they can be bass cloudy and I would prefer a little tighter bass, but the clarity and high end I find most defined and comfortable for the price.

Depends on the rig. If SE, then GS1K. If balanced, HD650.

K1000, it does everything I want in a headphone.

 

[ozz]

still like my sfi5pro's for everything.

another vote for the k1000, it is the best all around provided you've got a well matched amp that can give it the juice it needs. It can almost take the place of speakers, almost. THe only aspect that is lacking is truly extended bass it has nimble and well defined upper bass but lacks the throaty lower register bass. The HP2 I have is a close second while not as extended on the top end or nearly as good soundstage it has midrange magic, again the hp2 needs top flight gear to sound it's very best.

From what I understand about them, I think the Qualia 010 would be my holy grail of headphones. It's too bad I'll probably never find a pair for sale.

I've enjoyed my Beyer DT990 pros for many years. I appreciate the AKG k501s as well.

But, for the best of all worlds and most enjoyable with the most of my library, I'd choose the AKG240M.

ER4p with s cable. Confort. Detail. Great midrange. Not too piercing highs, Isolation, price. To me, they even sound "soulful," and I know I am the only person in the world who would say that.

WHY DID THIS 5 MONTH OLD THREAD GET RESURRECTED?

 

[vcoheda]

the HE60 would be up there.

 

[wrecked_porsche]

Among all the headphones I've heard/currently own/tested, it would have to be my ATH-ES7. Just love the sound, very lively and upbeat. Ooh... and its very portable too!

If money were no object, then it'd have to be the ATH-L3000... drool...

 

[Henmyr]

out of all I've heard, ATH-AD2000 would be it. It does everything I can ask for.

Sennheiser MX460 even if I was free to choose regardless of cost. I need the portabillity and comfort and at 15USD nothing fares better to my ears.
If sennheiser was to make a singlesided cord version of the PX100 I might choose that.

Ultrasone Edition 9 because they are fantastic with all my albums.
