2)Yamaha EPH 100 SL====(delicious bass, sparkly highs)
3)beyerdynamic dt1350 ====(the pain ! the pain!)
4)audio-technica ath-a700====(big old blue just died, now ordering a new pair)
5)beyerdynamic xp3====(surprisingly good)

These are my cans list history
 
Grado SR80i's---->Grado SR225i-----> Grado RS1s------>AKG Q701---------->HD800.
 
Now I end up with HD800 and upgrade all equipment to build more fine system.

Got some vintage stax lambda signature this week.
 
it’s been a couple days but I think I like it more than the HE-500. :O
 
It’s a tough call for me.

2. HE-500
3. Grado SR60
 
 
IEMs

maaaaybe? I dunno, the more I listen to it, the more I like the increased sense of openness vs the HE-500. And the HE-500 does not sound closed or congested. 
 
But I do like the heavier hitting HE-500 for some songs. But for most of the music I'm listening to now, the Lambda is coming out on top.

Best by sound
1. K240 Sextett lp's: the most natural and amazing headphones I've ever heard period
2. Denon hp700 (modded): these sound nice and detailed as well as are quite durable
2. Sennheiser hd 439 (modded): they've been running for a whole year they've been keeping up after all the mods I've done and they sound pretty nice
3. Ath-Ws99: nice bass 'phones for everyday use
3. Ksc-75 (modded): I think these will probably kill off any reason for me to own any iem's in the future
4. Klipsch x10: it's alright but the dual flanges annoy the sides of my inner-ears and they just sound too mechanical
5. Klipsch s4i: boring and mechanical I'll be selling these soon

Here we go...
 
1. AKG K701 (perfect couple for the M Stage; lots of space, I can breath the music!!)
2. Sennheiser HD650 (the most musical HP I ever heard, sounds very well with any kind of music)
3. Tie.
Creative Aurvana Live! (Cheap, very musical, easy to drive)
Superlux HD668B (moded with make up cotton disk over the driver grill) (super cheap, love it with rock, heavy and acustic music; it's my little grado kind off)
4. Sennhesier HD555@595 (my first proper Headphone....)
