I've tried Sennheiser HD 515 - 555 - 595, RS 120 and plenty more, so far the very best once are Sennheiser HD595, which once are you favorite?

Im aiming at buying new once, may cost the same as HD595, preferly not much more..

I really like Grado headphones because they sound the best for rock. I haven't heard any of their super high end stuff but that would probably be my favorite.

More like $200 overpriced, they also feel cheap; like $20 skull-candy cheap.
This is what i tell ppl at school to get these there better overall. Audio-Technica ATH-M50

I think The Stax SR-007Mk For Electrostatic.
Akg k702 / k701 are the best Dynamic.

All my collection is a favourite of mine for different reasons.

Anyway, to answer the OP,

Music tastes?
Budget?
How are you going to use it?
Anything else to consider?

I mostly listen to Muse, Marilyn Manson and then I also like techno/dupstep ect. The budget is like $200 +- $80. Going to use it for gaming / music. Nothing else to consider except wireless would be sweet, but not important!

I'm quite interested in Sennheiser HD-25-1- II

Does anyone know how they are holding up? And how are Sennheiser RS140 (wireless) performing?
I'd hop on this deal tbh:

Ultrasone PRO 750 - $235 Free ship within US

Many Ultrasones compared:

grados are my favorite. add the little pre-amp to it, and you have sex in your ears. i have demoed every model with and without the pre-amp and have owned two pairs (local dealer located close to where i live). yes, the rs-1's and 2's are the best (forget about the statement and pro's), but they also cost a fortune. the sr-125's are phenomenal for the money ($150 i think). plus, any music sounds good on them. the only thing i have heard people complain about them is being uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. i haven't noticed this myself though.
Best headphones I've ever heard are Bose QuietPower15 but they are just obnoxiously overpriced (much like all of Bose's products). It's also funny how they don't mention the specifications for them anywhere. They're not on the box, not online, not even on their own website. Obviously they're trying to hide them because then people will find headphones with the same specs for half the price. But honestly they have probably the best sound I've ever heard. If anyone would happen to (by any chance) know the specs of these headphones please fill us in.
JVC HA-DX3 out of my Little Dot MKII. They are the most versatile, balanced and accurate headphones I own.
AD700s so far.
