I would rather listen to any of my Koss phones before the SR60's... just thinking about the SR60 makes my head hurt...

I can't believe how far I've come in terms of the headphones I own since I originally made the above post eleven months ago. 1. ATH-W5000 - I actually don't expect to have these on hand until Tuesday, but I'm hoping this is the rank they will achieve in my stable of cans. 2. ATH-AD2000 - I was a Sennheiser guy for about a year until I got these and the ATH-W1000. 3. HD650, HD600, K701, HF-1, ATH-W1000 - Major log jam at this rank. I like 'em all and they all sound different. Of the bunch, HF-1 and ATH-W1000 are receiving the most ear time at the moment.

Another update (a year after posting v2 above):
1. RS-1 - I've basically come a full circle, it seems, as I started the audiophile path with the SR60 a few years ago. The sound is very engaging, fun, smooth mids, incredible bass impact with awesome details (drums sound so real) and excellent treble details. I just got 'em last week so maybe it's the new toy factor. In any case, the RS-1 is the king right now.

2a. ATH-W5000, ATH-AD2000 - I tried rotating the pads but I just can't get the fit I want with the W5000. I like the way the W1000 fits my head. I'll fiddle some more.

2b. HD600, HF-1, DT990, ATH-W1000 - HF-1 didn't sound very good with my home setup, so I brought it back to the office. However, with the RS-1 in town, the HF-1 isn't getting much ear time.

I seem to like 'em all, so it's really difficult to rank these.

The headphones listed above are headphones I enjoy regularly switching between more than one piece of equipment.
I have several more headphones that are hooked up to specific equipment but they are only used periodically.
And my remaining headphones that are not in use are not hooked up to anything and are just part of my headphone collection.
