I use a variety of different headphones for different genres and devices/systems. Each has a purpose as I feel there is no perfect headphone for everything.

They sound exactly the same. Exactly.

One has the L and R on the top the other on the bottom. That is the only difference that lets me tell them apart. I just kept an extra pair as I may do the bass mod or it is backup.

  What makes you like the T1 more than the AD?

 
I've updated my hp ranks after tweaking the AD with the "Doggie Treats".

1. Oppo PM-1
2. AKG K701 / Sennheiser HD650 (to me they're both as good, just different sound signature)

[nick n]

you got / tried the ADL iems !?!?!?!?  Are they as warm as the one brief scant superficial impression says?  PLEASE tell me hahah

 

[BucketInABucket]

  you got the ADL iems !?!?!?!?

Yup <3
 
EDIT: In reply to your edit, I have to say that yes I think they're warm and lush and its a signature that I love as it just sounds so natural and effortless to me.

Interesting why do you like the 500 over the LCD and the MS1 over the D2k?

Damn, this is challenging. Obviously I would use different headphones for different purposes, some only at home, some mostly on-the-go.
 
But if I had to rate them in one list, at the moment it would have to be:

1. HE-500
2. HD-650
3. Sony MDR-F1
4. Alessandro MS1 (Alumod/ MS1000 modded)
5. Mad Dogs 3.2
6. Nad Viso HP50
7. JVC HA-SZ2000
8. Bose QC15
9. Audio Technica ATH-ESW9A 
 
If my PSB M4U2 was working, it would have probably been rated around 3-4. I did get the Nad Viso sence then but I think I preferred the PSB M4U2...
