Aye.
I actually wrote a comparison between the two, and that's about where I feel they pan out against each other - the 950s are "right" and the RS-1s are "fun."

both phones sharing the top due to the K240 comfort
1.5 Senhheiser HD 650 (good headphone)
2. K140 600ohm (the oldest model, like the K240~ish) (modded with wooden cups and K141 pads)
3. Fostex T50rp (slightly modded atm)
3. K242 HD
4. K240s
5. Etymodtic HF5 (with +7db Bass-boost)
6. Porta Pros
7. K701 (hate the upper-mid/treble)
6. K601

1. Audio Technica ATH-AD700 (amazing comfort, produces beautiful sounds when amped and has shaken off its "bass shy" tag with me)
2. Grado SR80i (much more aggressive sound signature, but find its soundstage a little lacking compared with the AD700, sometimes find it hard to wear during longer listening sessions)
3. Sony MDR-XB500 (my go-to cans when I'm listening to hip-hop and electronic music, pretty darn comfortable too)
4. Sennheiser CX310 (IEMs for when I'm on the go, can't comment on these too much)
5. Nocs NS200 (I barely ever use these, trebles are a bit sharp and shrill - though they might just need some burn-in)
PEACE

In terms of only my personal preference, not necessarily which is actually the best:
1. Sennheiser HD555 (modded)
2. Superlux HD681
3. Sennheiser HD438 / HD428 (both modded)
4. Koss TBSE (although the SQ is better than the Senns, its not for me)

1. DT990pro
2. HD595
3. SRH840
4. ATH-M50
5. Koss KSC75
6. JVC Flats
Would like to make SRH1840 my #1 but can't justify spending $700 on them.
