Out of the headphones I've owned and currently own:

1. RS-1/K701 - too tough to call. they both have their moments
2. SR225 - ALMOST RS-1's. mids and highs arent as good. not as addicting.
3. Senn HD595
4. K81 DJ

E5c's in last place? How?

Very muddy, poor detail in mids and highs. Definately the winner in the category 'worst value for price'. Build quality was terrific though, but looks don't do the trick in the end. If it would sell for $100 at most, I'd see it as a great IEM, otherwise no. IEM are in the end very overpriced imo, compared to the performance done by full sized phones.

Headphones:

(1) Senn 650 (not overhyped)
(2) AKG 701 (need to listen to for longer period --- a bit overhyped?)
(3) Beyer 880 (hard to drive but very nice)
(4) Grado 60s (surprisingly good, have to try another Grado!)
(5) Ety 4p (great for planes!)
(6) Senn 595 (50 ohms; 650 is better)
(7) Senn PX 100 (gave to daughter)


All are/were good (or better).

Amps:
(1) Channel Islands w/power (can easily drive any of my phones)
(2) SR-71 (portable bliss!)
(3) Headroom Total Bithead (crossover is good)
(4) Simpl A1 (a mistake)

Channel Islands and Emmerline amps are great!
