There must some guys here who had a chance to hear some of the headphones i'm thinking about, and i was wandering how do these headphones stack up against today flagships. Headphones i have in mind are AKG K1000, Sony Qualia 10, Sony mdr-10, Grado HP1000, Stax SR-Ω, Sennheiser he-60 I'm wondering how are these headphones in comparison to today's totl headphones.

I think it's kinda sad how some headphones just disappear once the next thing arrives. Hell some models don't even last a decade before they stop production. Looking at you Fostex and Hifiman! There have been so many legendary headphones that just phased out and are super hard to find now. And more often than not the new models just don't keep what made them special.
