Audeze LCD2C (heavily EQ'd)
Massdrop Sennheiser HD58X (only lightly EQ'd)
Revonext RN-QT2 (with treble peak EQ'd down)
Etymotic HF5 (no EQ)
The LCD2C and HD58X get similar amounts of head time. The LCD2C is oddly both more fun for stuff like pop, electronica and hip hop and also more relaxing with choral music and jazz. The HD58X is more natural and perfect for acoustic music. That said, with EQ the LCD2C is natural enough and if I had to keep just one (which I don't), it'd be the LCD2C because the HD58X can't match its clean bass while the LCD2C can be EQ'd to a very similar response as the HD58X.
The QT2 is my go-to for listening on the move, and the HF5 is my in-flight noise isolating champ.
