1. XB500s

Although I did just order 5 pairs of headphones so this should be interesting, I can't see my XB500s standing up to the rest once they arrive considering my drastic switch in music tastes.

SR-325is: 9
DT-880: 8
Pro 900: 8
HD650: 7.5
SR-125: 5.75
HD555: 5.5
 
The DT-880, Pro 900, and HD650 I just sold but this was within the last couple weeks or so. Honestly the three are great phones, I'm just blown away by the Grados.

They let me keep them, I sold them as I didn't have an amplifier close to powerful enough, I was going to make another thread hopefully giving HiFiMAN good PR for it but after the last thread, probably not a good idea.

These rankings are very relevant to my interests, as I have the HD 650 and am trying to choose between the 325is and the DT 880 for my complimentary pair.

This isn't really fair, my "kids" have different personalities and different strengths.

1.) Modded D7000s (among the most musical headphones I've ever heard, simply brilliant in almost every way)
2. tie) Rastapants (take 1 part HE-500 and 2 parts HE-400, very good stuff here)
2. tie) AKG Q701s (best open headphone value I've found)
4.) Modded D2000s (not keeping them, they're going to my dad for his birthday)
5.) V-MODA V-80s (my favorite on-ear portables)
6. tie) HD 598s
6. tie) Modded HD 518s
8.) Modded SR-80is
9.) Koss PortaPros
10.) Monoprice MEP-839s

Saving my pennies for some Tesla T1s later this year, since I consider them to be the epitome of rock cans. I'm aching to hook them up to my McIntosh IA and see what's what.
