Updated top 5 (7 including ties):
 
1) HD650, HE-500 (the HE500 is better in almost every aspect, but the HD650 is mystical with tubes) 
2) W1000x, KH-K1000(love this HP with Alpha pads, most head time of them all )
3) LCD-2 (comfort is a factor, sound is bliss)
4) D7000(old friend)
5) HE-400(fun, fun)

Since I wrote this post, things have changed a lot:

1. Phillips Fidelity X2 (not kidding - I've A-B'd them many times with everything on this list)
2. HD 650's
3. JH Audio JH 13v2's (not fair comparing full size with iem's - totally different experiences)
4. Shure SE 535 w/ Whiplash cable
5. Westone UM Pro 50 (when they worked - failed less than a year)

6. Beyerdynamics DT-1350
7. B&W P5 (very close with DT-1350's - depends on music)

You know what's funny is that the drivers of the Siberia v2 (not sure about Na-vi edition if they are the same) is similar sounding to the FA-011's one if removed from the enclosure.

Hmm, that's a surprise. I think my siberia pads are just so worn out or I don't plug in my siberia to my DAC and amp as I need the mic, but either way, I consider both a 'waste' of my money :<

Why are the SR80 and FA-011 so low?
