Ranked in the order i listen to the most
1) hd580 with hd650 cable and hd600 grills (very natural and balanced sound)
I probably put around 5 hours a day on these. I love them to death.
2) mx400 (great for portable use). This hardly gets any use as i dont listen portably as much anymore.
3) Everything else i sold including hd212pro, k401, a500
4) hd457 (first headphone). I still have this and only keeping it for sentimental reasons.

This sounds fine!
But I value the all-round thing over all, so -- how do the bass (depth) and the treble (presence, extension, detail) compare with the 595 ?
And what about the sense of richness of timbre on strings, wind instruments etc. ?

1. Senn 580 w/Headphile V2 Cable (Resonated with me - loved them from the very first note. Everything else is referenced to these)
2. Senn 650 w/Headphile V2 Cable (Still burning in - sound like the 580s - I really don't hear a lot of difference yet)
3. Senn 595 (Great phones - tad too upfront for me. No longer own)
4. Grado 225 (Great phones - way too upfront for me. No longer own)
5. Audio Technica A900 (These were OK - some things just didn't sound right though. I listened to Weather Report's SWEETNIGHTER and listed them that same night. No longer own)
6. Grado SR60 (Great starter headphones. Best value. No longer own)
7. Sony V6 (Another set of great starter headphones. No longer own)
8. Sony V600 (Should be at the bottom of everyone's list. No longer own)
