I say in order, probably could switch around 2 or 3:
- Shang Sr. On Grand Cayman
- Stax X9000 On RSA B-21 Raider
- Sennheiser HE-1
- Mysphere 3.2
- Sony MDR R10 (Don’t remember which version)
I will probably not buy most of them because it’s out of budget for me. I guess I could save up for them or sell my current collection, but they honestly don’t really strike amazingly well with my preference for music (especially for price-to-performance ratio and I really like bass) so it wouldn’t be worth it for me. But with the music they do work well with, it’s beyond amazing and it’s definitely an experience when you try them.
- ATH-L3000
- Mysphere 3.2
- Onkyo A800
- Raal SR1a
- Hifiman Susvara
I pretty much explained it in the other thread. If you are curious, you can just give it a read with the quote below.

I re-edit my list. Now that I think about it, I do pick up the Mysphere 3.2 more than my other collection. Honestly, that is because its one of the only headphone (my first was the Onkyo A800) that makes me want to relisten to my entire collection to see what sounds amazing on it and what sounds just good on it. I think its more fair to put it on my #2 for now at least. But the Mysphere 3.2 is still my favorite sounding headphone, but the way ATH-L3000 makes rock music sound can’t be beat.
