Revising not that I've got 2 more cans in my inventory:

AD700
HD201
IM716
A130
SR60
KSC75

As you guessed the Grado sound is definitely not for me. They're the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever worn and I bent the headband as much as I could too.

I don't blame ya. Just different personal taste. I like more clear and intimate presentation. 650 and 007 are both top notch musical and have little to blame.

I feel the same way.

Really goes to show how much audio is about what sounds good to you. You can read as much as you want on these forums but you'll never know till you listen.

I won't do all of them, just the main ones in rotation:

Beyer dt990 600ohm (finally a full size can that beats my Sensas, but not by much)
Sensaphonic 2x-s circa a few years ago
Yuin pk1
Audio Technica a950ltd

1. Stax Lamda Nova Signature - smmmoooth like butta', marvelous midrange, very musical, let's you get lost in the music.
1.5 AKG 701 - incredible detail, open, does everything well for me
2. Stax SR 303 - see 1 above minus a little bit of smoothness
3. Etymotic ER4S - great overall sound for portables. Makes air travel in today's enviroment bearable - just.
4. Sennheiser HD 600 - not as good to my ears as I had hoped. Veiled, congested, just not my cup of tea compared to the others.
