Since my last comment in 2011, I have purchased a pair of Stax 009s. I can’t imagine anything better but I’m still looking for better amplification (like Blue Hawaii). I’m happy for now. My other favorites are Fostex 900 and HifiMan 1000 V2, both of which I heard a few years ago at a hifi show in Orange County. The Audeze phones sound great but the pressure on my head was just too much.
For personal listening on my iPad, I use a pair of B&W phones.
