because they just don't get head time when I get rev.1 AND I don't have them any more

Ohh. I thought i made a whole comparison on the rev.1&2 thing. Basically, same as googleli. Creamier liquid mids, easier to listen to. relaxed treble. And foam band is more comfortable for me. I find my rev.1 has more bass weight than 2.

 I guess what I'm asking is, in what way do you find the Rev 1 superior to the Rev 2?

Since I'm bored..
 
Not just by sound quality, but a combination of everything.
 
1) Koss Pro DJ 100
2) AKG Q701
3) Sennheiser HD-598
4) AKG K601
5) KRK KNS-8400
6) KRK KNS-6400
7) AKG K240 Studio
8) Audio Technica ATH-AD300
9) AD700 (never use this)
 
Sextett and my HD-668B are in a bunch of pieces. I really dislike my Sextett. Only sounds good from a really bright amp. Very muffled sounding (my pair)
 
Not sure yet:
 
SR-325is (don't like it as much as the SR-225i it seems. I got this 3 weeks ago and has only been on my head a few times)
Koss A/250 - Too much treble, not enough bass. TONS of detail. Weird sound signature.
AKG K400 (it's mids are fatiguing for me, could be bad synergy or it's goofy non-stock cable.

Latest personal headphone ranking:
 
Sennheiser HD-800
 
Ultrasone Edition 9..I am beginning to enjoy a brighter sound than these provide.  I am getting older and my hearing needs a boost in the higher frequencies.

1) AKG K1000
2) AKG K240 Sextett MP
3) HD650
4) UE Triple Fi 10
5) Etymotic HF5
6) Ultrasone HFI-2400 (going to sell)
7) Audio Technica (the wooden ear thingies)
 
Having owned: AKG K240 LP, K601, K701, Senn 595, 600, Ultrasone ALO-780, Pro 900, Grado SR-325i, RS1, Stax SR-404, Lambda Nova Sig etc.
Listened to: Senn HD-800, Beyer DT 770, 880, 990, T1, Ultrasone Ed 9., Stax 007 MK1, Akg K340, Grado PS-1, PS-1000, GS-1000.
 
A whole lot of money before finding out the K1000 and Sextett where really all I needed. I love the dark sounding HD-650 I have for listening before sleeping.
 
The only headphone's I'm really interested in now are the HE-6, LCD-2, HE-500. Also the SR-009 and Orpheus, though they are too expensive for me to really consider.

K701
Pro550
Sr60
 
Seems like a lot of people here have the HD600...would it be a worthwhile investment to tread that territory if i already really enjoy the K701's? (i'm not much of a basshead)

Look at my sig for more details on my favorite setup. Also have a pair of Vmoda Vibe duos, but those are just for when I can't take along my dt770.
