Nah, those can stay off the list.

[Driver_King]

Don't forget V-Moda.

Any company that calls its products "Earspeakers" doesn't deserve to be on the list.

Did somebody mention Monster?

Do they sell earphones or sex?

Thanks guys. I added them to the list.

Big Daddy - The Uber List Meister!

Another good list BD! I have to tell you, I have referred to your list compilations on more than just a few occasions.

But I have to ask you....where do you find the time to do all this research my good friend?

Check the time of the post. I am a vampire and do not sleep.

I have accumulated tons of information, magazines, books, and other junk over the years. I have more filing cabinets than the Library of Congress. I need to throw the stuff out as I rarely use them.

[Zman2k2]

Great list and thread Big Daddy! I'm going on a trip soon, and am looking for new headphones, probably in-ear. Your list comes to the rescue again! And your recommendation of a review site is fantastic! Keep up the great work.

[jerwin]

Bowers and Wilkins is launching a new headphone soon. I'm not sure whether you'd be paying for the name or the sonic signature, as I haven't heard them yet.

[slickooz]

can u add ultimate ears? http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/

i just bought them and they are really nice set.

[lDlisturb3d]

Right, sex sells sex sells, But they are crazy with it damn!

Wanted to let everyone know that I'm loving my Shure SRH840 cans. They are reasonably-priced (I paid $200 CDN) and the reviews have been very positive.

They look great John. I have a couple questions for you though. How would you describe the sound? Warm, bright, laid back, etc. Just curious. Also, how do you use them? I'm looking for a set of headphones I can use with my iPhone on trips and such. Something that will do justice to the new Apple Lossless rips I've done for most of my CD's.

I'd like to know this too. I'm looking for something with great bass. I've been looking at the beats studio or Solo HDs, but i'm not sold on the crapiness i've been reading about their durability.

This is my first venture into good headphones, so I have no experience with any.

[Blu Warrior]

Why no mention or list for Grado headphones. The SR60's are renowned for audiophile performance and budget.

Grado has been included in the list from day one. This is a list of companies that manufacture headphones and not a list of individual headphones. I don't really understand your question.
