[BleedingBlue]

1. HD600 (most balanced I've heard till now)
2. Beyer T70p (despite the higher price, was a bit too bright for me)
3. Monster Pro Turbine Copper (very good IEM, but not comparable to full-sized can yet)
4. Etymotic Hf2 (decent IEM, sound was a bit thin)
5. Bose IE1 (bass was great, highs were non-existent)
.

6. Beats Studio (a joke of a headphone)

 

[Dennito]

1. Denon AH D 5000 (worth every penny)
2. Sennheiser HD 650 (very nice, dark sound not for everyone but I love it)
3. Audio Technica ATH M 50 (great all rounder best in price range)
4. JVC HARX 700 (surprisingly good for the money)
5. Beats Solo (sounds muddy, travels well)
6.Sony MDR XB 700 (great bass but upper ranges are too sharp. Needs EQ)

Ok, I would do two different ranking.
 
First ranking, in term of absolute sound quality:
1- hd800
2- srh940
3- hd595
4- senn IE7
5- yamaha eph-100
6- hd25
7- k317
8- pmx 680
9- ksc75
 
Second ranking, I'd say in term of satisfaction for the buck, frequency of use,  convenience of use (portability, isolation, etc).

1- srh940 (cracks ....)
2- hd800 (let's hope, they 'll remain intact)
3- hd595 (cracks, teared up ear pads)
4- yamaha eph-100
5- k317 (died, but that's my fault)
6- senn ie7 (occasional problems after at least 3 year of use).
7- hd25 II
8- pmx680
9- ksc75
 
Both ranking are subject to change , nothing definitive, just sharing my current impressions.

After some more listening and time, I think two rankings is probably more fair:

Fun-ness:

- Grado RS-1i
- Koss ESP/950
- Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9
- Sony MDR-F1

Right-ness:

- Koss ESP/950
- Sony MDR-F1
- Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9
- Grado RS-1i

Both are very tight groups. All four are absolutely great imho.

In terms of my mobile sets:

- Denon AH-C751
- Koss R/80
- Sony MDR-EX082

The Koss would score at the top if isolation weren't a consideration.

4. Ultrasone Pro 900 (one of the most bloated, worst sounding headphones i've ever heard)
5. Westone UM3X

 

[tdockweiler]

1. Koss Pro DJ100
2. AKG Q701
3. AKG K601
4. Sennheiser HD-580
5. Sennheiser HD-598
6. KRK KNS-8400 '
 
Out of all of these, the DJ100 and Q701 get the most use.
Somehow the HD-580 has surpassed the HD-598. Don't know how that happened.
Sometimes the 580 just sounds more accurate. Mine doesn't sound like the HD-600, but close.
I do miss the soundstage of the 598 and it's mids. 598 is also a bit more fun to listen to though.

Sennheiser IE8i
Monster Miles Davis Tributes
Monster Turbine Pro Gold
Diddy Beats
Meelctronics M9p
Brainwavz Beta
JVC Extreme Explosives
Monoprice 8320 x2

T'he Beats Pro and Detox in my avatar are knockoffs. I use the IE8is, Pros and the Detox for the gym (I also get a great neck workout with them). The MTPGs and the 8320 are what I listen to the most. If I'm listening to a song with vocals I'll plug in my MDs, but I dont listen to them very much. The Diddy Beats were my first set of mid priced IEMs and they are what got me into Head-fi. The M9p, Beta and JVCs I got yesterday and am in the process of burning them in. My two faviorites are the Monoprice because of the sound to price ratio(love how they sound) and the Turbines.

 

[Canadian411]

Sound Quality-wise,

HD 800's: Couldn't be happier with these headphones, in a different league from what I've owned or own presently

HE 500's: Most accurate headphones I've ever heard to my ears; very natural. Nice bass impact and bloom.

LCD 2 rev2 (previously): Fun sounding headphone with nice bass and midrange presence. Very mediocre in the upper mids and highs. Not necessarily my cup of tea; find it overrated personally. Not comfortable.

HD600's/ HD650's (previously): Very good considering the price you can get them for online. Very natural sounding again but not as much microdetail as the hifiman. Slight preference to the 600's.

IE8's: Very fun and dynamic headphone. Unnatural amounts of bass, but it's fun when on the go/ daily commute.

Fostex T50RP Paradox: Most neutral sounding headphone I've ever heard. Best closed can I own... Comfortable. Easy to EQ. Lacks detail retrieval due to driver limitations.

Grado Alessandro MS2i: Meant to be magnumized but got HE500's instead. Very dynamic headphone, amazing bass. Use it to practice bass guitar.

Hifiman RE0's: For 70 bucks these are fantastic. Kind of lean in the bass department, but good when eq'd.

 
Shure SRH 440: What probably started the addiction. Very good price/performance ratio. Detailed and clear (sterile) mids. Lacking bass.

Shure SE215: Amazing comfort and isolation. Good build. Sound quality is good for the price; fun sounding signature.

And also, something I've owned but could not use at the time I owned it :

AKG K1000's: Got them by luck for a ludicrous price and sold them. Did not have anyway to use the xlr plugs during the week I owned it. Too bad.

Wow, great selection, they'd filing a missing persons report on me if I had this
