Sennheiser Club
 
1. Sennheiser HD 800 - Class of their own. Don't notice this 6khz drill that everyone complains about...
2. Sennheiser HD 600 - Great for anything I listen to. 
3. Sennheiser HD 650 - Liked these when I got them 4 or 5 years ago. They're too dark sounding for me now.

Full size in order of use
 
1. Modded Grado 325i. I usually pick 'em up first
2. Realistic LV-10 (Koss H/V 1) Just pulled them out of storage. Still sound good and their durability far exceeds any Grado.
3. Hifiman HE-500. Don't use them much but I do see a balanced amp and cable in its future.
4. Modded Grado 125i
 
 
Portable in order of use
 
1. Auglamour R8 Still my personal favorite.
2. QCY Q19. Never thought I would be fond of a budget BT IEM.
3. DIY EMX50. Just got through an earbud buying spree it is the winner.
4. Auglamour RX-1. Wish it had more bass but they shine when listening to acoustic jazz.

I can't really combine the open and the closed lists as I use them for different musics. I'm much more into the open sound and presentation.
 
1. AKG Q701
2. Sennheiser HD 518 (slightly modded)
3. Philips SHP9500S
4. AKG K-240 Studio
5. ATH-AD700 (Original)
6. ATH-AD900x
 
1. ATH-M50
2. Sennheiser HD 598 Cs
3. Griffin Woodtones
4. V-Moda LP (Though they are really fun for certain things)
5. AKG K-52
6. Ultrasone Pro 550
6. Amazon Basics Lightweight On Ear
7. JVC Flats
8. AKG K-44
 
1. Brainwavez Delta
2. MEE Audio M6 Sport
3. Monoprice 8320
4. Symphonized NRG 2.0
5. Panasonic RPE-HJE120 
 
 
And I have Advanced M4s from Massdrop coming soon which I assume will become my #1 or #2.

Collection of fairly modest but enjoyable headphones. All time favourite Focal Spirit Classic finally gone forever :disappointed_relieved:

1)Beyerdynamic DT440 (old favourite, beautifully balanced engaging open & speaker-like sound. Massively underrated)

2)Musical Fidelity MF100 (bright Grado-like low level listening, amazing detail)

3)Sony mdr10rc (ultra comfortable, smooth but dynamic easy listening, come alive with amping)

=4)Sennheiser HD25 1-II (absolute classic with seemingly limitless potential. Try with Mojo; WOW!!)

=4)Sony MDR100aap (natural Musical easy listening, easily driven; perfect portable)

6)Jays v-Jays (pocket rocket)

7) B&O Form2 (design classic)

=7) Sony SBH 60 (amazingly good Bluetooth phones for tiny price and size)

IEMs Musical Fidelity EB50 (want for nothing else)

(PS Apologies for all the clichés used in above)


Edit. Must have been drunk. Remove MDR100AAP, altogether; overwhelmingly too polite sounding, and Yamaha HPH 200 slips in 2nd or 3rd.

1. BeyerDynamic Amiron Home : Combining the best of Sennheiser and BeyerDynamic (for me at least).
2. Sennheiser HD600 : The one I always return to.
3. BeyerDynamic T1.1 : Most revealing but a bit fatiguing after a while.
4. AKG K340 : Old masters
5. AKG K550 : Nice closed headphones with an open feel, terrible comfort for me though

1) AKG Q701 (bass modded)
2) Sennheiser HD-650
3) Koss Tony Bennett - it's M50 pads are now hard as a rock so I don't use it much.
4) AKG K400 EP/LP
5) AKG K55
 
Luckily i've been retired from all this nonsense for the last few years thanks to the Q701 and HD-650.
