Well I dont even have 10 pairs of cans, but as far as the ones I have the order of my favorites go:

1. UE-10pro
2. ER-4S (they are my P's with the S adapter)
3. ER-4P
4. Sony V-6
5. Sony MDR-CD580
6. Sony V-600 (When I was looking here for help buying my first cans I thought that the V-600's were what everyone was refering to the V-6's as. When I got them I was wondering why everyone said they were good cans for the money. It wasnt untill I did some more reading that I found out that the V-6's are totaly different and cheaper and better.)

I am mostly a portable listener as you can probably tell. But these are all the headphones I have.
