Denon D2000 - warm, bassy, rich, nice soundstage, comfortable.

Koss PortaPro - 1/3 of the D2000 straight up. have a look at the freq curve over at headroom. compensate your EQ for it and you will take notice. sounds rather good then.

Sony MDR V3 - from memory, sounded good then. cant tell for sure anymore.

Senn CX300 - decent if you can get it for a discount. wouldnt pay retail for it.

Senn MX70 Sport - these things sing. lime yellow and water/sweat resistance. cant go wrong for the gym or for a run.

Grado SR80 - a revelation, brings out the detail you never knew were there if this is your first upgrade form stock. very forward, bright sound. could get your teeth grating after a while. lacks bass extension for my taste.

Stock buds that came with the Creative Micro - heck of a lot better than other stock buds ive come across.

ATH-A700 - great detail, crisp bass, comfortable
SR80 - little more bass, harsher highs, little scratchy on the ears
PX100 - close to the SR80s but a little less bass, featherweight
iPod buds - always falling out of my ears, moderate detail

I find myself mostly listening to the Grados although I swap with the AT's and they sound technically better the Grado's but the Grado's have a great warm, rough, rock sound.

1. Denon AH-D5000 - detailed, powerfull and fast bass, clear mids and highs, big scene. Moderate isolation
2. Sennheiser HD 650 - weaker bass, little scene.
3. Creative Aurvana Live! - like a little brother of D5000, all the same but of smaller size in every respect. My favorite for the portable use
4. M-Audio IE30 - moderate in all aspect except in size for portables use

1. AKG K501 - I can't get enough of these cans. Just when I think I have found something better (HD650 & K701) they pull me back in. I really haven't heard a headphone that comes close. It freaks me out that with my current setup they are underpowered and they still manage to be my favorite by a large stretch.

2. (tie) Senn HD650 - The only thing I don't like is the slight midrange colorization. I find them quite neutral otherwise. The bass is unreal, never overpowering the rest of the spectrum just low, fully controlled and fully detailed.

2. (tie) Senn HD580 - The HD650 made me appreciate the HD580 more. If they didn't have that slight midbass hump they would edge out the HD650. IMO they lack the overall detail, clarity and control of the HD650 though. I tried to sell them in favor of the HD650 about a week ago and I just couldn't do it.

4. AKG K701 - They are excellent but the K501 does everything better except for overall resolution. They won a rock battle with my late DR150s to become my go to rock headphone. They are just not as smooth as my other headphones and they have a very "look at me" attitude because of the effect caused by the hitch in its lower treble.

Sennheiser HD-201

I use more Headphones to listening music ,and for me HD-205 are better for that and I think they really have a superb sound to use at home.
Sometimes on my Pc use Phones in games(HD-201) and rarely listen music with HD-201,and for Pc that´s enough for me.

ATH-W5000 modded to Fitz F5005 which added bass at expense of soundstage. Stuffed the pads which returned soundstage and kept bass. This could be my final hp as it now delivers satisfying sound on every level.
