1. V-Moda M-100
2. Sennheiser HD650
3. AKG K545
4. Ultrasone Pro 900
5. NAD Viso HP50
 
I do recognize that under perfect conditions the HD650 produces the "best" sound, but I spend enough time gaming with the M-100 + BoomPro that it must take the top spot.

I'm surprised the NADs are that low down, especially below the K545.

I'm not.  I thought my old K550 was a lot better than my old HP50 (both in sound and comfort).

Just recently bought 1 and sold 3, so it's time for a new list.
 
Grado RS1i
 
I listened carefully, at home to the new 1e version and while I think
it's better in some ways sonically, it's not better for my ears in
terms of comfort.  The cushions are too shallow, ears end up
almost sitting on the drivers themselves.
 
The 1i's continue to be a marvel of sonic delight.
 
 
Sony MDR Z7
 
New headphones, arrived about ten days ago.
Warm, detailed, beautiful soft high end.
And incredibly comfortable + well made.
Slightly pricey but worth it as it has no
direct competition of which I'm aware.
 
Sennheiser HD 650: SOLD
 
AKG K712 with "silver' custom cables.
 
Great sound, very comfortable.
They just don't get into all the nooks
and crannies, nor reach out as far to dazzle
as the Grado's and Sony's.
 
Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro 250
 
Great listening experience.
Need a good amp.
The K712's are just slightly more open,
slightly less tizz on top for a nicely smoother sound
with no loss of detail or impact vs the DT880's.
 
Cheers
