I like cans with nice mids. Had the Senn 598 for a short while, will slot that just behind the HD25-II. The anime fan in me is prodding me to get the K701 (and kinda stupid reason to get this).

 
Hah, been there man. For the longest time they were my dream headphone, the reasons being a 50/50 split between their appearance on K-On, and the good things I heard about them.
 
I had the chance to compare them to the K601's, and while the K701's definitely sounded good, the K601's ultimately won me over. Though if I had the money, I'd totally get the K701's, if only to put on my desk.

Looks like three of us are in the same boat.  Like you though the K601 just sounds better to me, it just seems to reproduce music right in comparison.

1. Sennheiser HD25-1 II - portable awesomeness in headphone form
2. Sennheiser HD558 (modded) - ear slippers, very comfortable, very nice, even sound, pure joy for all night listening
3. Grado SR80i - they're brand new! As noobs, they go to the bottom of the list. A bit less detail than the HD558, earmashers, but with the right songs they're wonderful. Got them to get over my curiosity regarding the Grado sound.

They are the first full size headphones I have ever bought, and even though I got a bargain on them, I am a little disappointed.

Wow, I must admit I use to like the srh840s when I owned them too. But you really like them more than the d7000, dt990/600(which I also use to own), and hd25s? Well I could see the hd25s, but the d7000, and dt990/600?

Well my headphone journey is over what i craved for was an ortho..i would of bought many dynamic headphones and never would have been satisfied.
 
The only headphone that wowed me and never gets old is the fostex t50rp they have the potential to compete with headphones costing 1k yet in the usa they cost peanuts 74 usd all you have to do is mod them.

well...  i wasn't really trying to make any kind of statement by ranking the shures ahead of the flagship denons, or the trusty dt990.
it's just that, over time, the srh840 has revealed itself as a very reliable headphone.  with a very neutral sound.  it never makes any music sound bad.
while it blunts that last 5% of detail, i wouldn't call it veiled or hazy.  it just isn't as out-and-out clear as higher end headphones, that is for sure.
but, it has become a very comfortable and musical listen for me.  one that i find myself reaching for when i just want to enjoy the song, and not analyze every little nuance (a la HE-6).

 

[moodyrn]

I can understand that. One of the things I liked the most about the shures was they didn't get in the way. They didn't have any glaring flaws, and they didn't over-emphasize anything. But I eventually sold them. Their strength eventually became their flaws. Even though they didn't mess anything up, they didn't excel at anything either and overtime became boring. But I think they are perfect for studio purposes.
