LOL It's a very good headphone collection. I'm more worried about your name though...

This will be by how much I like each. Not just based on sound quality.
 
1. Koss Pro DJ 100 (without stock pads)
2. K501 (V1) / HD-598 (can't decide and never will. HD-598 with stock cable can't compare)
3. K601
4. KRK KNS-6400 (8400 Memory Foam pads!)
5. AKG K240 Studio
6. BeyerDynamic DT-235
7. KSC75 (Porta Pro Headband + Canare)
8. Superlux HD-668B
9. Grado SR-80 (modded)
10. AKG K240 Sextett (mine sounds muffled)
 
I have the Triple Fi 10 and still love it, but can't deal with IEMs any more. It'd be near the top for sure.

1)Audio Technica ATH-AD900
2)Superlux HD681 (slightly modded)
3)Meelec M6
4)Koss TD85 (getting some modding experience before some fostex)
 
*)Beyerdynamic DTX 910 drivers are being completely rehoused and not currently cabled...so no way to compare atm.  This started before purchasing the 681, but It'd probably be at around that level, maybe slightly under.

Wow, would you actually consider the k700 series, beyer dt880/990 and hd600's better than the magnum's? And why exactly?

I forgot to update my post in this thread, heh...doesn't reflect that I finally got those Stax Lambdas I wanted, and they're every bit what I was hoping for, leaving the AD700s in a distant second and the SS-20s in an even more distant third.
 
You'd expect that for a setup at least three times the price, but there are stories of people paying up significantly more for something and not really liking it in spite of that. (Then again, some people just don't like the AD700s period and probably aren't surprised that I'd want to replace them.)

1. Fischer Audio FA-011
2. Etymotic ER-4P
3. JVC FX500
4. Audio Technica M50

I dislike none of these TBH. All are very good, and I don't regret any of those purchases, though I think the M50 costs too much now, I paid $80 and would pay $99-$109 for another pair, but no more.

1. SR60i - DT235   Tie for now
3. KSC75                Pretty close to the Grado, sometimes make me wonder why i bothered.
4. AD700                Good for classical, movies and games.
5. Coby CV215      Really improving, wanted a budget closed set otherwise the KSC is the King.
6. M9                      Will get a better IEM eventually, pretty sweet for $20 but a bit boomy.

I have a bunch of random buds at the moment and no competition for first place right now, but what the hell, I'll list the ones I use regularly anyways.
 
1: Audio-Technica ATH-M50
2: WeSC Maraca
3: Sennheiser CX 150
4: Sony MDR NC13
 
I never own any more than one really good can at a time because I'm broke, but I never go without that one good can either.
 
Sep 25, 2011 at 3:00 AM Post #1,814 of 8,134
1. Sennheiser HD600
2. Sony MDR EX600
3. Shure SRH 440
4. Shure SE310 - Driver distorts at high volumes now :frowning2:
5. Ety MC5
6. ATH ES7
7. Normal Turbines
8. RP HTF600
9. Sony MDRQ78
10. MEE M6 - God so awful....so, so awful....
 
Just realized I have three headphones with '600'....
 
Sep 25, 2011 at 9:23 AM Post #1,815 of 8,134
1. Grado RS1i
2. Etymotic ER4S
3. Sennheiser HD600
4. Ultrasone Pro 900
5. Sennheiser HD25-1 II
 
Purely judging by technical capabilities, the ER4S is the best I've heard, apart from my recently sold HD800.
But for absolute musical bliss, nothing beats the Grados IMO
