Best sounding headphones you have owned?

At one time I had gone through Shure, early Stax, Audio Technica electret condenser....and more.

What have you owned in both expensive and inexpensive headphones that gave you pleasurable listening?

Don't use them often but they sound great. I had some Grado RS 2e and they were excellent, I ended up giving them to my son in law and he uses them all the time My first pair was over 40 years ago, AKG k240... I still have them. I had some nice Beyerdynamic too. Currently my only pair I use is the HP 3. I'm driving them with the excellent Quicksilver headphone amp.

I seldom listen to my Beyerdynamic T2, Audez LCD 2, Ultrasonde Edition 9, Denon 9000 (?)… or my other ones… Grado, ADG, Ultrasonde, etc… wow, I have a lot of headphones.. I think the Focal Utopia bested the Sennheiser until I upgraded the electronics to a tremendously powerful, natural, tube head amp.
