I also own KSC75's that I prefer between the DT770's and SR225's but maybe I'm just blinded by the amazing performance/price ratio :p

Have some UM2's on the way to throw into the mix.



That ranking was a bit premature I suppose as I didn't really own them long enough. Here is an update:

RS-1
SR-225
HD650
K701
DT770
HD595
A900

I don't know where to place the UM2's as they are a whole different animal and not really able to compare to the rest. I didn't have an amp for my first K701's but have since aquired a GL/DPS so I have another pair on the way to try out

Loving my RS-1's though
