How I rate headphones might be different than the way you rate headphones. I rate headphones on a scale of genre suitability.

I've never heard a headphone that sounds "best" with every kind of music. I only know which headphones sound best with different musical genres and/or different types of recordings.

I have nick-named my primary headphone collection "The Three Kings":

One is the "King of Rock", another the "King of Jazz", and another one is the "King of Classical Music". None of them are "best" outside of certain borders (or "kingdoms" if you will), but at home on their respective thrones they reign supreme.
