Funny you mention this. I looked up an old K160 thread, and found this:
 
"got them today. very hard to drive and very much a vintage monitor type. sound is very detailed, lighter on the bass end. very merciless. much like an akg 240df or a vintage beyer monitor"
http://www.head-fi.org/t/415346/help-with-history-of-akg-k160#post_6272910
 
Indeed, just like the DT100.

 
I didn't get that guy back then either, as the K 160 sounded quite meager to me overall. (Note that he was later selling his K 160 on HF.) Certainly something to own for the cool oldschool AKG logo rather than sound quality. They were apparently made for talkie radio work, hence a huge freq response hump in the mids like on the DT 100.
 
You'll find me in that thread comparing the K 160 to the vintage DT 990 - the K 160 got absolutely handed.

Updates!
 
The I can't live without tier!
 
  Sennheiser HD800
  Grado PS500
  Audio Technica AD2000x
 
and the rest...
 
Symphones Magnum V5
Grado 225i
Grado SR80i
Beyerdynamic DT990 pro
 
The top 3 are all very different sounding and get similar head time...

1. MS-Pro
2. HD650
3. SR225i
4. MS1
5. SR80i
 
So hard to choose between 3 & 4.

1. LCD-2 Bamboo
My favourite listening experience, for home use only.
2. Ultrasone Signature Pro
Relatively new to me, came highly recommended. For portable use.
3. ACS T1 CIEM
Brilliant for commuting, near total isolation and zero leakage, but fiddly to use and mine haven't been that reliable.
4.Bose AE2w Bluetooth
I was really surprised at how much I liked these. I find them very convenient when I'm switching between phone calls and music or for use with my laptop.
 
These are my regulars though I think I'll retire the T1s if the Sig Pros continue to impress. I have back up headphones in case of audio emergencies (Beyerdynamic T50P, AKG K490 NC and Shure 535 in that order) because I just couldn't face commuting without music.

1. Shure SE535 (modded with acoustic filters for more treble)
2. Grado SR125i
3. Sennheiser Momentum
4. Sennheiser HD598
 
Before the mod the SE535 was my least favourite headphone, and the HD598 the most favourite. After the mod the SE535 sounded much more clear and detailed. Then, when I went back to the HD598, suddenly it sounded dull and veiled. Go figure.

 Sony V6 - only use them for turntable setup
 
 DT990pro - Need a good amp to shine. Otherwise, they sound distant with a bloated low-end and recessed (albeit somewhat peaky) highs. They also have an uncanny (bad pun intended) way of extending the soundstage to the point where I sometimes remove the cans to make sure the speakers aren't playing.
 
 DT880/600 - clear, well-balanced tonal balance, an incisive perspective, relatively detailed and very comfortable over a longer term.

^ Lugbug, make me want to buy hd600. How do you find detail retrieval hd650 vs 600? (apart from the frequency signature) I always tempted to buy 600 but I find 650 have a bit more detail.

I honestly think it depends on how they are amped... I know its a cliche, but the more power they get, the more they open up and with that the more control and resolution. I don't own the 650's any more so I wouldn't like to say which one has the best retrieval of details without side by side examining.  
 
The HD600's are more balanced however, and do have a brighter lit treble so details ime are more prominent in that respect. I like both, but the 600's are more amp friendly because of the balance. They also have the best tonality I've heard below the HD800. 
 
They won't 'wow' you, but they'll grow on you like a very reliable friend  

 

[RedBull]

Yeah, that I think what I hear at Senn demo station as well. Like more on stage vs listening from smokey pub with a nice plush sofa (hd650), which also not bad. I will be using it for movie, maybe might as well I get one and try. Thanks.

Well, ironically, a new pair of headphones I purchased has resulted two of my other headphones flip-flopping in my rankings....figured I'd offer an update...I guess we'll call this "the Audez'e effect". I'll list the headphone and the place they held in my last list in parentheses....
 
1) LCD-2 (new)
2) T1 (2)
3) Grado PS500 (1)
4) Grado GS1000i (3)

Wow Focker, supprised to see the GS1000i so far down the list. I guess that says a lot for the PS500's!!

 

[Focker]

Wow Focker, supprised to see the GS1000i so far down the list. I guess that says a lot for the PS500's!!

 
Yeah, the 500s have always just done it for me. The GS have closed the gap a bit since first getting them, but I find the 500s to be a better headphone in terms of my preferences.
