1. Coby CV185
2. JVC HA-RX700
3. Soundmagic PL18
4. Phillips SHL9500
 
Since I'm more on the go nowadays, I've been grabbing for my cheapy Coby CV185s the most.  When I'm at home, I reach for my HARX700s for some nice quiet personal listening.  The PL18s are fun and dynamic, but with the buildup of earwax, I rarely use these now unless I'm not lugging any bags with me and can only stuff the PL18s and my phone in my pockets.  I've all but abandoned my SHL9500s, even though they (I feel) are clearer than the Coby's because their small cups and failing cable strain reliefs are more of a problem now then before.  To make things worse, with my large ears, they are very uncomfortable to wear for hours on end for longer commutes.
 
I did not add the Monoprice 8323s since I just ordered them and they have yet to arrive.  Probably will knock my JVCs to the 3rd place because of their folding design (which means I can be on the go with them).

Not sure when I last updated this, but here's what it is now:
 
1. Koss Pro DJ 100 (currently using Tony Bennett version)
2. AKG K601
3. AKG Q701
4. Sennheiser HD-598 (CA-0363 wire)
5. KRK KNS-8400
6. Sennheiser HD-600 (DHC)
 
Q701 should rank higher than the K601, but K601 has been addicting now that i've started using it with my new DAC.

1)  Denon AH-D5000
2)  Aiaiai TMA-1
3)  Monster Beats Studio
4)  Skulcandy aviator headphone
 
1 is for at home chilling, beautiful warm sound.
2 is for on the go and at home, I prefer that one.
3 is overprised and a waste of money.
4 my mom gave it to me, very nice of her, but the sound isn't so nice.

You really don't like the Aviators? I personally think they're better than either the Beats Studios or The TMA-1's. I even like them more than Head-fi favorite the Audio Technica ATH-M50's.

In my ranking, I looked at sound, design, price and material. In my opinion, the skulcandy isn't nice looking, not so durable as the TMA-1, quite expensive, but has a better sound than the studio's, but not as the TMA-1 or the Denon. But when I looked only to the sound, then it would be, 1 Denon, 2 AIAIAI, 3 Skulcandy, 4 Monster beats, so your right about the sound.
