Best headphones?

I've had two pairs of SRX-MKIII's for about 15 years and still listen to them a lot. Great sound especially when driven by ther ear-speaker amplifier. They have a whole new series of ear-speakers available but haven't heard them yet.

I have a pair of Stax Lambda (Not the Pro) and Sigma (Non-Pro Model). I have an SRM-T1 and an SRD-7. If you can afford it, go for one of the amplified models like the SRM-T1. It far easier to use, and they sound great. The only serious downside of Stax phones used over the years, is that after listening to them - it will most likely prompt you to upgrade your amp and speakers, as they will most likely sound better.

i say check out the grado line of phones, all levels are bargains, i have the 60s with yellow sennheiser 414 pads(grado now supplies them in black as oem)and thy are really very good. worth way more than their price and very comfy.
