You ranked the Senns higher than the HF2's so something must the PX100's be doing to make better than the Grados. Otherwise I don't understand the thinking behind your ranking.
Nothing here is hard to understand, It's just a metter of personal preference. The HF2 definitely has much better sound quality, The reason why I ranked it after PX100 is because I slightly prefer the sound signiture of the PX100, to be more specific, the HF2 has quite tamed high frequency (lack of treble sparkle) and odd soundstage (intimate grado sound but the mids is too distant to my liking) which I don't like, PX100 sounds more natrual to me. Sound signitrue is a more important aspect than sound quality when I consider whether I like a headphone or not. If you have been around here long enough, you must have seen some head-fiers said that they prefer a $300 headphone to a $1000+ flagship.
As you can see their ranking (#7, #8), it's not hard to come to a conclusion that both headphones are not my favorite, so I think any further discussion is not nessisary.
