  • TakeT H2 - Magical snares, fearsome bass. Can't begin to imagine the bass when driven directly.
  • HD650 - The best balanced (no pun intended) headphone I've ever heard. Does everything I've thrown at it well.
  • V3 Darth Beyers - Cleaner bass than the stock DT770s. More fun than high-fidelity.
  • DT770 - A fun, bassy headphone through and through. Has a nice amount of isolation.
  • HD212 - My first foray into high-end headphones. Sounded good at the time, passable at this point. Bloated bass, earpads didn't fit me well and managed to make ambient noise more noticeable.
  • iPod Earbuds - Should be obvious why these are last.

The rest is kind of hard to quantify. Due to a shipping screw-up, I lack my SoundMagic PL-30s. I've heard a friend's PX100s, SR60s and AD700s several times, but never critically.

yes, strange the sa5000 hasnt got more support here, i guess its a little too light on bass and on the bright side for the many people here that prefer a warmer sound.

the pro 750 is in another level compared to the dt-150 which has far too much bass colouration making everything sound warm and bassey right up to the hi-mids and treble but it is only a £100 headphone. the 750 by comparison sounds more balanced/natural, open, faster and engaging.
