Mainly ACG with female vocal and some New Age, pairing with the HA22TUBE. Ranking isn't just about sound, the W1000X is also more comfortable to wear than the others. And tbh I even prefer the W1000 more but it's discontinued.

Music:
Fostex TH900
HiFiMan HE-560
Philips X2/Shure SRH-1540
Sennheiser HD700 (I love these headphones but they aren't prime for certain genres)
Movies/TV
TH900
SRH-1540
HD700
HE-560 (they get a little warm which makes them slightly uncomfortable)
X2
PC Gaming (Comfort is my #1 goal here then SQ):
HD700 (give me zero fatigue over long periods of time and are so much lighter than TH900s)
TH900 (The bass and immersion of an almost perfect closed can is hard to beat)
1540/HE-560 (1540s are more comfortable but 560s sound better)
X2
Fostex THX00
Denon D2000
Beyerdynamic Dt880 600ohms (I like them almost as much as the Denon)
AKG K240 MKII
Ultrasone Hfi-780 (great for movies and games)
Susvara / 1266 Phi (godlike in their department)
Kinera Nanna (goddamnit it's still so enjoyable)
LCD-2f (sadly a bit redundant with the 2 TOTL's, will maybe sell)
Hemp / Elegia / Sundara (Hemp is sth totally different / i need a closed back, trying to upgrade this right now / my first grab when i sit down)
HD800S (godlike for gaming but will probably sell)
HD6XX (Ehhhh, okish on tubes, overhyped)
MDR-Z1R (not a fan, will sell them again)
Honorable Mentions:
Bose IE2 earbuds. These were my only headphones for 4-5 years and they were probably they most comfortable “IEMs” (non-custom) that I have ever used. Nothing else even comes close.
Bose Soundwear. I use this everyday to listen to podcasts, YouTube, etc. from my iPhone for 4-6 hours. I seriously would go crazy without it,
