Time for an update. Headphones in category (1) are just awesome. Category (2) is for great phones that are almost as good as the top phones only I like them just a tiny bit less. Category (3) is for very good HPs that do something exceptionally well, but have few flaws. Category (4) is for headphones that are very good for a specific use or type of music but can't compete with top phones for overall sound quality. Headphones in category (5) have a something that bugs me, but are still good headphones and are enjoyable with a lot of different music. Category (6) is for headphones that disappointed me greatly or annoyed me with something although were not very bad if you look at it objectively. Order inside categories really does not matter.

Update - I now feel that a list without considering the rest of the system is of little actual use. Since I almost never listen ampless it's obvious that I consider all headphones limited by the source and the amp.

1) Jade driven by a loaded Woo Audio GES, Source Exemplar Audio XD-1 Dac and Exemplar Music Server. All Siltech cabling

2) AKG K-701 driven by an Exemplar Audio modded ASL OTL-32, same sources.

Several new amps and headphones are making their way through my system soon, so this list will be changing.

IEM
1) Westone 3 - Amped
2) Ety ER4S - Amped
3) Westone 3 - Unamped
4) Ety ER4P - Unamped
