wait what
 
where did the Z7 go, and why is the HE-500 so low on this list when it was at the top before
 
(also, you have a K1, I am now infinitely jealous)

The rankings were kind of a troll... I deliberately left out that it's a ranking purely based on head-time.

Nothing wrong with that ranking I say.

Número Uno - HD650 (and this is with just a cheap amp!)
Dues - AH-D600 (these are still the business for electronic, nice strong sub bass, most comfy of my headphones, spacious sound)
Trois - Amperior (perhaps a bit to v-shaped but sounds pretty good with everything)
Quattro - HD-25 (really solid sound and form)

LCD 2 - nothing else is really close at this point except...

Senn 600 via the Bottlehead crack - just a really lovely pairing. Hard to best for orchestral/opera

Grado 225 - still fun for punk and rock (and sometimes jazz)

Denon 2000 - great all-around. Good sound, comfortable, well built (sellers remorse, I'll probably get another set in the next 12 months)

Better DT 1350 - solid all around (my #1 travel/commute can)

Akg sextett - great mids, perfect for vocals

Beyer Dt880 600s - good but a bit abraisive to my ears. Hard to beat the resolution, but not what I'm looking for these days. Going up for sale soon.

Fostex t50 - pretty good all-around

Akg 240 monitor 600s - good but not as good as the sextetts. Still handy to have around

In your defense, it's telling of which headphones are good if you're basing rankings on how long you used each one.

or which ones hes had longer
 
and hes had that DT990 for a long time
