Rank the Headphones that You Own.

  Actually the V6/EDT combo has an insane chameleon soundstage, but that's not my point. They had decent bass, and bad everything else. Poorly extended and lacking refinement. There were a lot of resonances up top that mucked up the perceived clarity and cleanliness and the FR is simply wrong. I'd take my M50's over a 380 Pro, and I hate that headphone.
 
Yeah, to my ears, which are obviously more conditioned than yours. Sennheiser's low end stuff is downright atrocious.

that more conditioned that yours comment made me laugh. thanks! you're good for pompous comedy. 
 
Long live the Sennheiser CX 300 II !!!! :)

I thought this thread was "Rank the headphones you own" not earbuds.
 
I doubt many people here own more than 7 flagships unless they have stacks of cash lying around.
 
So I'm doing a rank the headphones I've tried/own
 
1. Stax SR-009 Neutral sound, deep bass, air, soundstage.  everything you could wish for but don't have the money to buy
2. Audeze LCD-3/LCD-X(I need to try them both again and A/B  but it came to a tie)
3. HD800 - I heard two setups. One I liked, the other was way too bright and sounded worse than my Beyers
4. Mr. Speakers Alpha Dogs - I really enjoyed these cans and for a closed pair they're outstanding for the price
5. Hifiman HE-500 - I really enjoyed these especially the impact they gave to the music and dynamics are very realistic. Haven't tried an HE-6
6. Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm - The king for the price you pay

Go back from the beginning of this thread, genius, and you'll find IEM's listed with headphones by the hundreds. So basically from the very beginning.

For those who haven't taken the time to read the original post / rules ......

Rank your headphones. Please rank your headphones that you own and use regularly. Please don’t list or rank headphones that you use to own or that you have tried. My goal here is to have a positive outlook ranking, not a product bashing list. I figure that if you own and use them, you must like them. Right?

First tier:
1.) Sennheiser HD650
2/3.) Brainwavz HM5/Sennheiser HD580 (it's a tie, both are truly excellent)
 
Second tier:
4.) Grado SR60i
5.) Beyerdynamic MMX-300 (32ohm DT770 with boom mic)
 
Third tier:
5.) Sennheiser PX-100II (and honestly, they're still quite good).
 
Bottom of the barrel ("Why do I even own these?")
-AKG K26p (they're quite bad).

1) Fischer Audio FA-011
2) Alessandro MS1
3) Koss TBSE1 (no longer own)
4) Fischer Audio FA-006
5) Blaupunkt CN112 (no longer own)
6) Sennheiser EH250 - too bassy for my liking. Ugly as sin too. 
 
Can't see myself going any higher than the FA-011. It's a sweet set for the coin.
