I think you could add there the AT ES7!... ...

 

[hijodeltiger]

update: ATH ES7 added!
Kees: Wallmaker just tends to sound a little uptight, especially in writing (he's talented at that.) Be nice, give him a break.
To Wallmaker, one word(?): LAWLZ.

=OK.
Not a recommendation, because I haven't heard them, but to make your list more complete I think these are worth investigating:
Equation audio Ear Tools RP-21 and RP-22x.
There is some discussion and a review in this thread.

 

[hijodeltiger]

I already included the RP-21, though I listed them as "Equation RP-21."
I think I should change the name.
I didn't in include the RP-22X since I don't know how appropiate it would be to confuse newer members with more models. And as I've heard, the RP-21s sound more balanced, and overall better than their bassier counterpart. But I haven't listened to neither.
What do you think?

I have heard neither, but I would HATE to miss some good bass if there is some to be had.... And since a lot of people specifically ask for bass.... And since there are not a whole lot of decent closed cans....

Another vote to add the iGrado's here.
Great value, I like them better than my SR60's, PMX100's, and KSC75's.

 

[hijodeltiger]

What are the price ranges for the RP-22X?
Would it be sacrilege to substitute the SR60 for iGrado?

Please dont! I think you should have there both! they are different kinds of HP, one portable, other essentially for entry level people at Grado line, so I think you could have there both, not put one over the other!

Thanks! I think that with them there, your list is more rich!

Ultrasone iCans should be added.

 

[Wallmaker]

Sorry Mr. Kees, I didn't intend to "sound" the way I think you perceived me to. I only meant to clearly state exactly why the MS-1 seems to be a good bet from what I'm hearing. As for those Equation RP-21 headphones, I have already considered them from hijodeltiger's list. They look very cool, but are a closed set. Just because you seem to have contributed quite a lot to this community and because I have not at all, I will reconsider these RP-21's and RP-22x's. Thanks.

What's up with closed headphones sounding worse than open ones?

My gateway into this place was the Audio Technica FC7.
Baby brother to the ES7? Not as many posts about them anymore, but they are there if you search for it.

Served me well until the arm snapped. Moved onto the 555, then the 580.

 

[jclinton46]

lutwey asked about the ER6i's. Why not add them?

 

[Su_Root]

Looks like a nice list! I'll have to use this sometime.

By the way i thought the Marshmallows were HA-FX33 not HP-FX33 like you have listed? Maybe its just me but mine are HA.
