  You are truly humble sir
i'm sure your gear is far more superior than mine

Haha I'm a student supremus so no way mine is superior to yours

I've recently sold six sets of headphones; time to update my list.
 
 
Grado RS1i (I bought the 1e, after careful listening returned it and kept my 1i)
 
AKG K712
 
Beyer DT880 Pro 250
 
Sennheiser HD650 (w/silver cable upgrade)
 
Sony MDR-Z1000
 
Thinksound On1 (w/ Audioquest cable)
 
Beyer T51p

 

[lin0003]

Sennheiser HD800
HiFiMAN HE-500
Beyerdynamic DT880 600 Ohm
Dunu DN-2000
T-Peos Altone200
RE-400

 

[Svatopluk]

HD-800 - Standard of excellence. ( Ok, maybe just my opinion. )
 
OPPO PM-2 - All-round contender.
 
DT-880 - Great bang for the buck.

Here is my list based on combined factors of price/performance/head-time/"enjoyment" , basically my subjective overall "rating". The higher on the list, the more I would recommend those
 
- Home use higher-end
 
1. Audeze LCD2.2 (Microsuede Pads, Rosewood, Non-Fazor) - These headphones fricking rock !!! It just does everything right, bass is extraordinary, mids are crispy clear and mainly treble is just right where I wanted it to be + everything has so much energy to it. Even for crazy retail 1145$ these are serious high-end headphones I would recommend to try out. Oh and I forgot to mention they actually look and feel like high-end as for build quiality. Keepers without second guess !
ps: It just blew my mind when I found out I can actually hear "tongue movement... for lack of better description" of female singer when she takes a breath to sing. (Parov Stelar - With You)

basically huge hole here ....

2. Sennheiser HD650 - Just legendary headphones, superb for the price if someone prefers dark cans
3. Sennheiser HD700 - Fast paced cans with quite a lot of treble, I did enjoy them for long time, but there are serious issues with some bright recordings
4. Beyerdynamic T1 - Had quite mixed emotions about T1's, expected much more for the price. My main issue was treble with these.
 
- Home use rest
 
1. Grado SR225i - Got these for 120$ or so, would recommend to anyone looking for "cheap & fun" set of cans, overall great with awesome punch on bass.
2. Shure SRH940 - Also another "cheap" at least here in CZ set of great closed cans, would definitely recommend to someone who can't use open cans.
3. HiFiMAN HE-400 - I couldn't handle the treble spike on these, but have exceptional bass for the price.
4. AKG K701 - Even with good amping, K701's just sound lifeless to me.
 
- Portables
 
1. AKG K314P - Have been using them for about 2 years, superb for 10$
2. Creative Aurana Live! - Some ppl enjoy these but, they sound really, really dark to me. Bass-head cans.
3. KOSS Porta Pro 25th Annies - Well known cans, wasn't much of a fan myself, sound overly dark and boomy to me even tho they are semi-open.

They apparently made about 5 pairs of those.  I never find these on eBay, but I've wanted to try a pair for a couple of years.

Not to bust your balls, but I hear that tongue movement on a pair of Sennheiser HD202's plugged into a laptop.

Haha, ye, just testing K712 and it's more the song than just LCD 2's but they are still best headphones I heard so far.

Sounds like you prefer dark sounding headphones. You like iems? I wonder what you prefer in the IEM world. I can see you liking ie80, 846, roxanne especially.

Don't have any experience with "IEM", aside from iPhone in-ears and K314P, but ordered the Ostry KC06a since K314P are sort of finished.
 
By roxanne you mean http://www.jhaudio.com/content/sirens-roxanne ?

Yes. Only because you love your lcd 2.2 and 650. Which I own. If you ever crave what you have in a headphone in in-ears, the roxanne would suit you nicely.

 

[Flisker]

Wow, thanks for tip. I'am just not sure when will I get extra 1650$ for in ears, that's pretty big price tag. Are they really that good ?

They are great. I was talking about the universal version though. YMMV on customs vs universals. Universal cost about 300-400 less than the custom. Both are great. It's getting great reviews overall, minus the drama from last year's black friday fiasco.
