(Best to worst, I included some I had but sold recently)
Stax SR-007A BluTack Mod (BluTack mod increases transparency and imaging and makes the bass more linear but decreases mid-bass volume and impact. I prefer this to unmodded.)
Stax SR-007A (Similar to LCD4, better comfort, warm and musical, better build quality, slightly more transparent, less sub-bass but good impact)
Campfire Andromeda (Rivals HD800S / MDR-Z1R in transparency and very even sounding, great bass response, bonus for being an IEM)
Audeze LCD4 (Best bass of any headphone, decent transparency, very heavy)
Sony MDR-Z1R (Closed headphones with great transparency and better bass than HD800S)
Sennheiser HD800S (Super transparent with more bass than Stax SR Lambda Pro)
Stax SR Lambda Pro (Super transparent, not much bass impact)
AKG K7XX (Great value, wide soundstage, good bass)
Sennheiser HD600 (Slightly more realistic sounding than HD650)
Sennheiser HD650
Beyerdynamic DT880 (Annoying treble peak, ~8.5 kHz. Less comfortable than HD6xx)
AKG K702 (Painful headband)
Beyerdynamic DT990
Denon D2000
Shure SE846 (Terrible value)
Sennheiser IE80 (Good value, but sound a little muffled compared to higher end stuff. Bass is a bit muddy but has good impact.)
Etymotic ER4XR (Good as earplugs. Sound not very impressive)
Sennheiser HD598 (A little muffled sounding)
Bose Triport (Good 3D sound positioning)
Westone W30 (All mid-range, barely any treble or bass. Made for vocals.)
Grado SR-60i (Poor fit, comfort and bass. Decent transparency.)
KZ ZS6
ViSang R02 (Great value)
VJJB-V1S (Great value)
Koss Porta Pro
Panasonic RPHJE120S
Panasonic RP HT355

1. Denon AH-D5000 - Will always be the King of the closed-back headphones I think. Legendary headphone.
2. AKG K702 (Austrian version) - There is no other open-back or closed-back headphone i've heard that is as tonally perfect as this headphone.
3. Ultrasone Edition M - My go to headphone for watching movies at night, when I can't use my speakers. They sound like 5.1 surround sound to me.
4. Fostex TH-X00 PurpleHeart - I kinda love and hate this headphone at the same time lol. They are not as natural sounding as the AH-D5000.
5. Neewer NW-9000 - My go to headphone for recording/producing music on my computer. Incredible value for money.
I hope to get the Sony mdr 7510/1 soon to replace the NW-9000 as the Sony will be closer to neutral.

Updated list, back to dynamics.
Focal Clear, Best overall headphone I've heard. Sounds really lifelike.
Denon AH-D7200, Awesome complement for Clears. Relaxing sound with good bass slam.
Philips X1, Trusty headphone for movies, gaming.
1more Triple driver over ear, Good headphone for portability. A bit too boomy in quiet environment.
