Final audio e2000. at $50, can’t be beat. Amazing details and soundstage and overall clarity. Gets 60-70% of some of the $400+ headphones I own (pm3, Grado Rs2e)

Yeah, you can't beat these babies--incredible presence (in my left ear anyway).

Mine are the Philips SHP9500 - can get them for $45 on sale at Newegg sometimes. Out the box they are beyond average comfort, but Shure 1840 pads and custom leather strap bring them right close to HD700 level of comfort. They have a balanced, clear sound overall and are easy to drive... much clearer sounding than HD6XX with better highs. Bass is more than adequate with a custom attenuator inserted into the 1840 pads. Great sounding all around cans that work well from almost any source you run them from. They were my first open headphone bought, and still use them almost daily.

Koss Portapros were one of the first headphones I’ve ever bought, they are still amazing after a lot of dabbling in other things. Still by far the greatest bang for buck of any headphone I’ve owned

An upgrade to my Little Dot MKII
I made the decision to upgrade my modest Little Dot MKII Tube Amplifier this past week and it just got here yesterday. This is a used piece of gear, it's the first generation Woo Audio WA6. I wanted to go with Silver as it would match my Solid State Burson Conductor 3 Performance Headphone Amp/DAC/Pre-Amp, as well as the Schiit Lokius I also picked up recently. I wound up with Black; it was in the best condition of those I saw available, it was priced better and it came from an audio dealership with a brick & mortar store which displayed a working telephone number and an A+ rating with the BBB so I knew that I was probably safe in dealing with the gentleman. The Lokius is brand new. What I've learned is that I am going to have to do some figuring out how to deal with all of this new stuff, including how to get it all onto my 6 foot desk along with my lamp and modem. Apparently the Lokius has to be connected between Amp and DAC, so it would fit in between...

Best imaging and soundstage headphones for positioning and immersion?
I was looking at He4XX and K7XX mainly, but I was going to use these mostly for gaming and some music, which means overall imaging is the most important, but I also wouldn't want a headphone that's too boring. Thank you for any help. Edit: My previous headphones were Sennheiser G4ME One's, I'd want comparable or better performance.

This past year, I wanted to see if I could find some IEMs that were newer and "better" than my Sonys, so I did some hunting and found the Lker i8s. I was pretty skeptical of the no-name Chinese-made earphones, but after listening to them for the first time, I was blown away. They ARE bassy-er than I was used to, but because of the balance and clarity in across the mids and highs, I quickly became accustomed them, and they have grown to be my favourite pair so far. I wonder if anyone here has come across them as well..?
Another notable mention is a cheap $15 pair of Philips IEMs that my wife had. I had forgotten my IEMs at home so I settled for borrowing hers. I scoffed at the thought of using cheap earphones and prepared for the worst, but I was surprised at how clear they were! They obviously weren't amazing, but the mids and highs had a crisp, clear sound to them that did a decent job of carrying vocals through.
Anyways, would love to hear your stories of your great finds!
