Top 3 Headphones


I want a set of audiophile [subjective, I know] headphones. I saw this article below. How can $295 Grados be at #1. When 3000X are $2,000?

My budget is > $1,000. Regardless of my preamp/headphone amp, what is the top 3 (if there’s even a consensus)?

I enjoy Classic Rock, Alternative, Country and soft jazz.

My three top headphones are:  RAAL SR-1b with transformer interface, the Kennerton Rognir Planar, and JM Audio Editions XTC-Closed.  I have heard (actually not heard) the RAAL CA-1a which are ribbon drivers with earcups and have their proponents of music with foundation, i.e. bass.  I am sure there are others out there but these three are the best I have heard.
