You ranked the Senns higher than the HF2's so something must the PX100's be doing to make better than the Grados. Otherwise I don't understand the thinking behind your ranking.
 

Nothing here is hard to understand, It's just a metter of personal preference. The HF2 definitely has much better sound quality, The reason why I ranked it after PX100 is because I slightly prefer the sound signiture of the PX100, to be more specific, the HF2 has quite tamed high frequency (lack of treble sparkle) and odd soundstage (intimate grado sound but the mids is too distant to my liking) which I don't like, PX100 sounds more natrual to me. Sound signitrue is a more important aspect than sound quality when I consider whether I like a headphone or not. If you have been around here long enough, you must have seen some head-fiers said that they prefer a $300 headphone to a $1000+ flagship.
 
As you can see their ranking (#7, #8), it's not hard to come to a conclusion that both headphones are not my favorite, so I think any further discussion is not nessisary.

I think he's saying there's a realistically better headphone and then there's the headphone he prefers. It sounds like he's saying the HF2's should be the better headphone, but he still personally prefers the PX100.

Absolutely in love with the CD900ST's. Probably the best mids I've ever heard in a headphone, at any price range. Really, there's not much they do bad. Extension on either end of the spectrum could be better, but I really don't have to much of a problem with that.
 
The DT 770 Pro's are a sweet, fun can. Really like them for games and movies, mainly because they are so damn comfortable, and have a nice soundstage.

He can modify your phones for a certain price; and I think many people owe themselves to do it! It was well worth it in my case.

There's a large gulf between the HD600 and the RPHTF600.

 
Some more head-time with the upper half and my ranking has shifted a bit.

Gotta be the most interesting one-two combo I've seen.  May I ask why you kept the V700 despite owning decidedly better cans in the past?
 
mine:
1. Q701
2. T50RP
3. T20v2
4. TF10
5. MEP-933
6. Klipsch S5i
7. (the rest in my profile... I don't really use them anymore, though I'd put the KSC75 ahead of the Klipsch)
 
My list changes depending on the day.  Sometimes I just want that nice vintage ortho magic, for example, and the T20 tops the list.

#1: Sennheiser HD 650
#2: Grado RS2i
#3: Sennheiser HD 595
#4: Bose On Ear (I know, I know, but they were a gift and my impetus to seek out good headphones)
 
The RS2i is my latest addition, and while I like the Grado sound for the areas in which it excels, I find the HD 650 much more engrossing in general.

They were a christmas gift from my beloved mother, this past holiday. It would be just beastly of me to sell them off. Besides, they're rugged and have decent isolation, so they're nice to take out into public when I want headphones but don't want to risk a nicer product to the dangers of the outside world.

Headphones currently owned.
1. Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro (250 Ohm)
2. Shure SE425.
 
If counting past headphones from a longtime ago.
1. Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro (250 Ohm)
2. Shure SE530
3 (Tie). Shure SE425/Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro
4. Sennheiser CX6
5. Panasonic RP-DJ600
6. Logitech Bluetooth headphone (no idea what model it is)
7. Apple iBuds
8. Skullcandy G.I.
9. Skullcandy Lowrider
The last 4 I don't even want to remember them. They're absolute crap especially the Skullcandies which sounded very bad, built very bad and broke in a few weeks with their cheap plastic headband cracking and snapping.
