Grado Ps-1 here .

The hp-2 were astonishing at first .
They were the first pair of classy headphones I felt ( very lucky ) to discover and to own .
I never completely passed over the hd650 warmness unfortunately , even after tuning and detuning the system and gears around them for some months so I felt worth trying something that was voiced to be definitely more neutral yet very "hi-end" , hence the hp-2 . First Grado headphones too ..
They're in a class of their own , they are still my reference cans at the moment .

..After having passed quite a time with them ( both ) , are the ps-1 that are exceeeding my expectation the most . They are probably the only 1 set that don't leave me wanting for more , nothing more , across a whole lot of genres , and their sound do not show still after some months with them evident flaws , and their the most fun and easy to listen can I have in my bag now , having very fine bass , mids , highs , stage , detail , and a very right prat too ; they offer a very good separation , head-placement and image too . Last but not least , they're fun too as they're very musical .

This is the set that have put my ears in peace , most of all the cans that I have owned .. weird enough , on first I had hard times "learning" to adapt to their soundsignature ; now they sound perfect .. still I do not understand if they're still breaking in or if it's my hearing sense that's changing to them

AKG K501 and Stax SR-X/Mk3

SR60 for sure. Bought it just as a portable for when I was away from the DT880, but ended up listening to it more.

AKG K701s and the HD580s perhaps the only caps above $100 that have exceeded my expectations

The HD485 was a real surprise.

Sennheiser 435

Koss KSC-75. Even after reading about them on the forums, my jaw still dropped when I heard them for the first time.

Edit: I noticed the topic mentioned cans, I supposed these are really clips-ons not technically cans; but of all the 'headphones' I've tried, these went above and beyond.

Koss KSC75. Lovely things

koss ksc75, even though sony q22 have a similar sound signature, more foward, but too harsh and overbloated bass
