In listening order preference:

1. Sennheise HD 595.
2. Sennheiser MX 760.
3. AKG K712 Pro.
4. Superlux HD-668B (I don't really have any point in keeping these since I don't know when I would use them).

Hope you wouldn't mind if I ask why/how you prefer your HE-500 over your 560? Thanks!

They are all number one.

They are all number 1 but I do actually spend more listening time with my HE-500 than with my HE-560. Even DT880 is more frequently used than my HE560. HE-560 might be more resolving and "audiophile" but for me it is even more fatiguing than the other two. For pure enjoyment of music I mostly use HE-500 for pop and rock (all styles) and DT880 for classical and jazz.

1. HD800 / Stax 007
2. Kennerton Odin
3. E-MU Teak
4. Audio technica W1000X

I would love to hear your opinion on the Odin and how it fits into your lineup. I’ve been eyeing one of the pale moon special editions since they look very pretty and I kind of like the idea of a crazy hand made in Russian hp...

BeyerDynamic DT880 w/ Cardas Upgrade = Clean, Clear & Open
Koss KSC35 = ridiculous value for the money
Sennhieser HD565 = more congested than the top of the line Senns, but still have the Senn flavour...
Grado RS1 = The shock of the pack, now i've heard the coloration, I just can't get it out of my mind...

The Odin is a very nice headphone. To me it has no real flaw : it has nice bass, great mid especially on chords, and sweet treeble.
The problem on my setup is that it's a little warm, and my electronic is already a little warm. It would be better on a fast and neutral electronic.
It's easier to listen to than the HD800, but I don't get the "wahou" effect as I do when I put the HD800, hence its second place

Thanks! Yeah the HD800 (or s) is another headphone I’m considering - I feel like I should own one for at least a while. Just a sucker for that hand made look with the Odin

 

[DrizztDo]

HD800 and Odin are quite different, and most people would probably prefer the Odin. I owned the HD800 first, and looked for and obtained a system that works well with the HD800 (modded though).
Pity is it doesn't suit the Odin so well, and as I know how it should sound, and as I can't afford to have 2 systems, I'm considering letting the Odin go.

What's wrong with the 650's? Not a fan of a neutral signature?

Nice, I'm a fan of the HD 565. They certainly hold up with the test of time. Do you find them extremely comfortable?

That may have something to do with it considering the other phones I own are all a little bass heavy, but that's not the only area that they fall short. Overall they just don't sound good enough to my ears to want to wear them over any of the others. I think I'll sell them soon.
