3) AKG K702
 
I love this, but I'm only at the 50 hour mark with this for burn-in. It's one of the best headphones there is but I always feel as if I'm 2 1/2 rows away from the stage and it takes awhile to get into that. It's soundstage is massive though, but not bigger than the AD700 soundstage I think. It took me going from the Asgard to the E9 to love this headphone and like it for gaming. The Micro Amp really makes it come alive. The treble is a bit bothersome and I hope it smooths itself out. The K601 seems to fix all my complaints about this headphone. I do prefer the K702 over the K601 for specific genres. I love ambient music (Helios), soundtracks and classical with this.
 

 
Only 50 hours burn-in with the K702 and they're already #3?  They'll be #1 by the time you really get them burned in.

When I group them together it's because I go back and forth and really can't decide so I went alphabetical.
 
Shameless plug: The last three are for sale but the HD540 is the only one listed ATM.

Well, I've owned about 4 pairs of K701 and K702's in my lifetime, so I guess this has to do a lot with it. I keep going back to them.
The treble is smoothing out a lot and I hope it gets better.

Just for fun, here are my favorites for gaming:
(I own all of them)
 
1) AKG K702
 
I originally put these as #2 (below the K601), but the extra treble, detail and clarity is so nice. When I want a more relaxing and laid back sound for gaming I'll use the K601.
The K601 has far better imaging, but a smaller soundstage and a warmer sound. I wasn't a fan of this for gaming until I got the E9 and later the (better) Headroom Micro Amp.
K601 has the more upfront sound. K702 feels like speakers at times.
 
2) AKG K601 (see above)
 
3) Sennheiser HD-598 (Mogami. It's sound cleared up a lot with it)
 
4) Sennheiser HD-650 (Mogami. Not enough detail, sound clarity or treble for gaming IMO)
 
5) AKG K240 Studio
 
6) Audio Technica ATH-AD700
The AD700 is better than the K240 studio for games, but I don't like the comfort and recessed mids.
 
7) Koss Pro DJ 100
 
Tons of detail and a fun and engaging sound, but not as clear as some of my more expensive headphones. For a $80 closed headphone it's hard to complain!
 
8) Beyer Dynamic DT-235 - super cheap headphone that's good for gaming. Far better when modded. I suggest Circumaural pads and mods to bring up the mids (I have a thread on that)

Hello everybody on this forum.  This is my first post, though I spend a lot of my time reading this forum.  I am not audio pro, but I am just going to rank my headphones according to my personal taste:
 
1)  Etymotic ER4P
2)  Sennheiser IE8 
3)  Audio Technica ATH M50
4)  Sennheiser MX980
5)  Monster Pro Copper
6)  Sennheiser HD595
7)  Sennheiser PX200
8)  Ultimate Ears Super FI 5 EB (like them only when on the mood for a lot of bass)
 
Currently anxiously waiting for my HD 25's and SM3's.  So maybe after getting these my ranking will change.
