HD 800s have to make it to the list. Also a treble head here with with (slightly) basshead headphones.



 
Well, here's the catch. Treble is not a characteristic that necessarily includes high detail resolution, nor does it necessarily describe an analytical sound.

The Sony V6 has a slight treble bias.  It can be debated if that slight bias is enough to make it a treblehead headphone.
 
The John Grado headphones are treblehead headphones.  All of them have some flavor of treble bump.  The old Joe Grado headphones are more neutral or balanced.

I wish the like button is as significant as the facebook 'like'!

I think I'm a treblehead.

The Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 is unquestionably a treblehead can, given that the highs are emphasized. I'm surprised it's not in the list already.
 
Now, to figure out whether the Stax Lambda lineup in general better fits neutral/balanced or treblehead...
 
(And before you ask, no, I'm not a treblehead. I just seem to have experienced mostly treblehead cans so far in my quest for clear, detailed sound.)

Na its not that, I believe that a lot of us trebleheads are just bassheads on the DL


Me? A closet basshead? Never! :D

I've had bassy IEMs because I'm too cheap to find a better suited one (although I did have a pair of Mee M6 that were definitely bright until they broke on me), and trebleheaded cans because they fit my tastes. V6 and SR125i are definitely not for the bassheads.

Now you have to remove the UE700 from the other thread and put it on this list, because its definitely not neutral. 
 


It has one of the flattest FR's in an IEM I've ever seen!!
 
I guess flat = treble, since MDR-V6 is on the list here too.
