I have the LCD-2 and the HD800, but I spend more time listening music on my HD650 and T1.

As I don't have any comfort issues with LCD-2, sadly my HD650 became a bit redundant for me...

+1, except I found the HE560's and Alpha Dog were getting all of my head time. The 650's are great headphones, but a great planar, cohesive, detailed presentation is hard too beat. I loved my 650's and hope they found a great home in Utah.

  +1 for each tool it's own use.

Nicely put, my view exactly.

edit: except for 701 being super comfy

May I ask why, if you have any specific reason behind it? I used to own the T1 and sold it cause I preferred the HD800, and about to get another complementary cans for the HD800 and so far the HD650 is the strongest candidate. I liked the sound of the LCD-2 very much, but I just can't stand its comfort at all..

HE-560 is great complement to HD800 and no comfort issue

I have heard of QC issues, and general cheapness of feel, the main reason I will be avoiding the 560 for a little bit.

The QC issues are overstated and the sonic are second too none for the price.

I use the HD650 with the HiFi-M8 as a transportable solution on my travels and ..., the T1 is my favorite for general listening, it's more all-rounder than the HD800 and more comfy than the LCD-2. 
 
The T1 sound signature is close to the HE-560, IMO, but I still prefer the T1 (driven by Crack + SB) over the HE-560. To me trebles on the T1 are more smooth than the HE-560.

If I want to choose only two pair of headphones, they will be the HD800 and Beyer T1, definitely.

How much time had you spent with the 560, and prior to that how much time had you spent with the T1? Just curious.

 A couple days with the HE-560 (it was used, no need to burn-in), A couple years with the T1 and HE-500. 
 
I decided to have the LCD-2F instead the HE-560 and I'm very happy with this.

You may want to reconsider the judgment on the 560's, mine are at about 200 and continue to improve, plus I am using the Focus A Pads and Norne DIY Cable, probably the greatest extension, in an extremely smooth presentation. How do you know the pair you listened too were fully burned-in, what were you using to amp them?

They had more than 100 hours before I try them.
 
Judgment..!?  I didn't say they are bad phones. No, I think they are great as the T1 and LCD2 are, but for me they didn't have anything over the T1, they both are great all-rounder hps for general listening. On the other hand the LCD2 has a very special sound signature.

Let's back to the HD650 (the LCD-2 light).
