1,) HD558 modded, foam removed and blutaked on the plastics and some behind the driver, significantly tightened up the bass while having good bass impact.
 
2.)Shure SRH 440, foam behind removed, earpads stuffed with wool (one of the best ways to increase bass impact. holes on the baffle plate covered with blutack, one left totally open, blutack inside the cups to tighten the bass
 
3.)Dt990 pro

Can we get an explanation on the fake ATs? It surprises me that the fakes outrank a couple of pairs of real ATs.

Unfortunately I'm jumping straight to the HD800's. I was going to get the magnums because Rhydon lives somewhat near me, but I can't really live with the comfort of a grado anymore.

Well, the fake pair turned out to sound fantastic for a portable pair. I'd say it sounds like a B&W P5 with more upper mid and more bass impact. It also has better instrument separation, and a warmer, smoother sound signature compared to the M50.
 
I still enjoy the M50, but... whatever the M50 does, obviously my two Beyers do a lot better, and the fake pair is there for a different kind of purpose altogether. I use it to listen to vocals where I can't grab the DT880, and sometimes, I listen to it even if I could grab the DT880.
