I've read some of your stuff MLE, and while I think your reviews are excellent and definitely helpful, I still to this day don't know what "type" of sound signature you prefer... haha. Your rankings jumble all over the board. I know you have a love for the D7K so I'm expecting headphones that have similar sounding sound signatures like... Ultrasones (Sig DJ, Sig, Pro, Ed. 8, Pro 2900), Beyerdynamic (DT 770, 990) etc. I'm guessing you are ranking the headphones that you have heard extensively, and not just headphones that you heard at a meet or haven't heard yet. The HE-400 seems to belong in the D7K general sound signature, but the others such as the LCD-2, SR-407, HD650, even the Mad Dogs are totally different IMO. This post isn't to offend at all so don't take it that way, I'm just trying to understand why you haven't tried more headphones similar to your one true love... the D7K.
Oh and sorry for being semi-off topic here.
Not counting comfort:
Faves for music:
D7000 > LCD2 > SR-407 > HE-400 = Mad Dog 3.2 = K702 Annie
Overall
D7000 > LCD 2 > SR-407 > K702 Annie > HE-400 > (more or less) HE-4 = HD650 = Mad Dog 3.2 = ESP950 = DT990 (certain things I like better on the last few which are interchangeable)
If rating about how I feel they sound technically and not subjectively:
SR-407 > LCD2 > ESP950 > D7000 > K702 Anniversary > HE-4 > HE-400 > Mad Dog 3.2 > HD650
