Out of the stuff that I've heard but don't have, and which impressed me a good deal:

1) Sennheiser HE90
2) Qualia 010
3) Sony R10

Then would come the stuff that I have or had at one point or another, and, well, I really can't rank any of it, since it all has it's ups and it's downs. There was plenty that I've heard and don't have, but only the top 3 left a lasting impression.

Never Mind, I went to far off topic and wasn't giving the OP what he wanted. I find it too difficult to rank headphones I have only heard for a brief period of time, sorry.

 

[Towert7]

1) Grado RS-2
2) AKG K701
2) Beyerdynamic DT770pro (250ohm)
3) Beyerdynamic DT990pro (600ohm)
4) Sennheiser HD590
5) Sennheiser HD280pro
6) Beyerdynamic DT231
7) Sennheiser HD497

These are only the ones that I have eaither had, or been able to demo for long periods of time.

 

[003]

1. HD650
2. K701
3. SR-225
4. A900LTD
5. A900
6. SR-60
7. MDR-XD400 (they sound similar to the A900, IMO)

I still need to hear some beyers.

Listed from best to worst. I've also used blank lines to create groupings; A headphones within a particular grouping is difficult for me to choose over another in the same grouping. Usually the headphones in a grouping excel at different areas, but overall I feel they yield the same enjoyment; hence the grouping. I've tried to rank headphones with a grouping the best I could. My memory on some of these is a bit hazy - once we get down past the HD555 I stop caring much

On with the rankings:

L3000 (who couldn't see that one coming

)

HP2 (the HP2, W11, W2002, and K340 are really hard for me to rank amongst themselves - each does something different for me)
W11jpn
W2002
K340
W5000
Omega II

HD650
K1000
RS2
HD600
RS1
HF1
CD3000
CD1700
HD580

SR325
SR325i
W10vtg
HD555
SR200

PortaPro
K401
SR225

K271s
A100ti
KSC55
SA5000
SA3000
V700
V6

ibuds

Aiwa hp-x222

 

[seacard]

HE90
Balanced R10
Balanced HD650
Qualia
K701
K1000
HD650
SA5000
L3000
DT880
RS1
SR404

I really need to hear those Omega IIs on the ES-1.

A plain "rank" is very difficult. My list would vary considerably depending on music. Here's a general list for what it's worth...

W11jpn

L3000
K1000
CD3000
DT990
Omega 2

HD580 Jubilee (the psychological effect of "limited edition" made it sound better

)
K701, HD600, 590, 580, HP2
HD650, all in production grados ('cept 325i and rs1 below).
RS1
ksc75

W2002 (high freq peak)
SA3000 (weird high freq peak)
PortaPro


K340
koss The Plug

This is how i would rank the headphones out of all ive heard so far recently in terms of use/enjoyment:

L3000
W11JPN
HD-650
W1000/W100
RS-1
A900
SA-5000
K501/K701

Ive heard alot of others like the CD3000, HD-600/580/595's, sr225's, ect..but that was a long time ago with totally different gear, so i can't really comment on those.
