Best sounding headphones you have owned?

Try to compare your impression of the Raal  with other headphones you listened too , qwhat are the differences... It is not simple to put in words...   What past headphone3s you owned and the RAAL beat and why ?

Thanks for your time...

I went to CANJAM 2022 in NYC and listened to ALL of the TOTL headphones and ended up buying the RAAL SR1b with their VM-1a Tube amp, For me the only other headphone even remotely close was the Abyss AB-1266

The Hifiman HE1000v2s are the best sounding phones I have ever used/owned and they were not the most expensive ones either, once you put them on you just listen to music. They are fairly easy to drive, drove mine with a Dennis Had Inspire tube headphone amp as well as other tube amps in the same league as it, my draw back with the HE1000v2s are they did not weather well, the tan leather head band got limp and stained quickly as well as other issues with build came up so I moved on as I did not or could not spend $3,000.00 again on a headphone with a short life span. I have settled in with the Hifiman Edition Xv2s and my original planners Audeze LCD2s which are both best buys in my opinion. Enjoy the music

HiFiman Susfara and Abyss 1266 Tc were the best I have ever heard.

I agree with Mahgister, the AKG 340 simply does it for me. I keep reading that it is so hard to drive, but mine's plugged into my McIntosh C15 preamp and works great. Not sure what all the fuss is about on that issue. Mine is the "gray" model meaning it is the "neutral" version; it has plenty of bass also.
