i recently added some sennheiser hd800's to my stable. they are super dupont resonator modded. i love these so much. they make a perfect all rounder and has some of the best sounding bass and top-end i ever heard from a headphone and i went through a good amount of different dynamics, planers and, electrostatics in the past.. i been just really enjoying them and so far the hd800 been exceeding my expectations.

These are what I have in order of preference:
Sennheiser HD 800
Sennheiser HD 600
Hifiman HE560
PSB M4U2
Grado 125
I don't buy much audio gear but the HD800s are the best audio buy I've made in the last 5 years. Before them I used the HD600s daily for about 15 years.
I'm tough on cords for some reason. They usually only last about a year or two. That's stupid expensive with the HD800s.

Another person to buy a set of Philips SHP9500S.
Also from Newegg, but $65.00 CDN. Upgraded the aux cable with a new 8ft ANKER Soundline.

Plug 'em in, I say!
I think the K240s work exceptionally well on less complicated stuff. I absolutely think they are one of the best phones I've ever heard at stuff with just a few instruments going on... string quartets? I'd take the K240s over the Q701s or the 598 or the 9500s etc. Amazing when you think that the 240s are about 1/3 or 1/4 the price of the Q701s or the 598s.
Not my very first choice for big rock production type stuff, but definitely not bad at all.

I have a pair of AKG K702, but don't use very often. Not really a headphone guy I guess.

Burson and the Ortofon Bronze I really would like next but going to let the RED 2m go for a little longer. The guy at the shop said I should change it once a year if I play one recored a day. I play like 10 a day so I should change it next week lol.
