Name your top 5 wide (big) sound stage headphones, starting with 1 being the best.
1. HD800
2. K702
3. HD650
4. ?
5. ?

1. AKG 702/701 (Seems bigger then it really should be)
2. Beyer DT-880 (to me, this has a better soundstage, but the AKG has a bigger one)
3. Sennheiser HD-600
4. Audio Technica ATH-AD700
5. Koss Pro DJ100
I heard the Koss DJ100 recently. It's soundstage really confused me. At times sounds seemed distant, yet others sounded very close. I didn't care for it at all.
Are we talking in order of size? If so...
1. K1000
2. HD800
3. HE60
4. K701/2
5. HD600/650
K1000 is larger than HD800 IMO, but sounds more realistic. HD800, as another poster put it, sounds like an aircraft hangar.
HE60 is very large, but smaller than the HD800, but also better quality.
K701/2 is large, but just sounds totally wrong. Overall they aren't too bad though.
HD600/650 is about the same as K701/2, but presentation is superior. It gives a more intimate feeling than the K701/2 so I put it 5th.
Overall I'd say the HE60 really nails it on soundstage. I need to hear more phones to declare it best overall (IMO), though.
If I may ask, in what way do you think the K70*'s sound stage sounds totally wrong?
The K-701 is to real music as Tang is to real oranges.
