have already done own or owned. will now include listened to a fair amount, by tier in no order.

Tier 1
- HE90 (the best ever?)
- R10 (huge sound stage, great detail, perfect for classical)
- O2 (the 650s of stats - slightly dark in tone and laid back, but very engaging)
- 1.2B (a bit forward but great definition and bass)
- L3000 (smooth sound, great tone, nice controlled bass)
- HP1000 (cleanest sound you will hear from a dynamic, speaker like L/R presentation)
- HD650 (balanced and with the right amp, these are just about as good as it gets)

Tier 2
- HE60 (a fun headphone, just not in the same league as its big brother)
- K701 (large sound stage and good sonics from top to bottom)
- RS1 (warm, intimate, full bodied - perfect for jazz)
- HD600 (a clear somewhat forward sound)
- DX1000 (smooth and fluid sound, large sound stage - bit colored in the mids)
- K340 (very clean sound w/ good body - needs the right amp since hard to drive)

Tier 3
- K1000 (2 small speakers attached to the side of your head - but i prefer HP)
- HD580 (a slight step down from the 600)
- RS2 (similar to RS1 but i'll take the larger wooden enclosures/greater resonance)
- SR325 (woodied, sounds very close to the RS1/2 but not as refined)
- HF1 (has the standard upfront, punchy grado sound)
- DT880 '03 (great highs and good speed, but too bright at times)
- DT880 '05 (same as above except better bass on this model)
- K501 (has a nice airy quality, but is also thin and bass shy)
- W100 (a nice warm sound, but colored like most of ATH headphones)
- W5000 (very good detail, decent sound stage, but bass is light and has a treble spike)
- GS1000 (spacious, yet bass is too prevalent and mids too recessed)
- Lower End Stax (slightly thin and unmusical)
- HD595 (good for ipods not an audiophile headphone)

Other
- PS1 (have not heard)
- 010 (have not heard)
- 4070 (have not heard)
- AD2000 (heard only briefly - just recall liking my RS1s more)
- D5000 (initial impressions were not good)
- Ed.9 (seemed too isolating and too bass heavy)
