7. Senn CX 500 (doesn't come close to the PL-50, or maybe i just got a fake since a got it quite cheap)

Here's a list in order from BEST to NOT BEST: Paid under $200 category (Denon D2000 (189),  Sennheiser HD595($150, Don't sound quite as good as the ultrasone 580 but the comfort makes up for it :),Ultrasone Hfi 580(150), Dr. Dre Beats Pro ($400), Audio Technica M50 ($97), Beyerdynamic DT770 $140) (Almost have to have an amp if you like your music loud), Sennheiser HD555 ($100)  , Dr. Dre Beats Tour/koss porta pro
 
 
I was wondering why most lists don't mention the denon d2000? i thought they were the best around $200, the ultrasone hi580 at $150 price point, and the audio technica at $100. But I would like to know what headphones from Ultrasone, Audio Technica, and if anyone else has some punchy closed headphones. Thanks!

Since someone else just bumped this thread (thanks!) I'll do my current list in order of best sounding headphones from best to worst:
 
AKG k601
Koss Pro DJ 100
AKG k240
Modded Koss UR-55 (grill removed)
Maxell DHP-II
Beyer Dynamic DT-235
Audio Technica ATH-M30
 
My overall favorite (not just based on sound quality) is the Koss Pro DJ 100. A $80 headphone shouldn't sound this good. Same can be said about the $30 DHP-II that impressed me from day one.
