Oriveti OH300
Full Review: https://blog.hifiheadphones.co.uk/oriveti-oh300-review/

Etymotic ER-4SR
Full Review: https://blog.hifiheadphones.co.uk/etymotic-er4xr-review-microscopes-ears-2/
If you are looking for neutrality, the ER-4SR are the industry standard – they do not flatter you with a smooth sound or hide any mistakes in recordings, so not great for everyday listening but superb if you want to hear every detail.

Audeze LCD-2 Classic
Full Review: https://blog.hifiheadphones.co.uk/audeze-lcd-2-classic-review/
The LCD-2 Classic are a well controlled, but ultimately warm sounding headphone. They offer up a fatigue free sound with good width and height. If you listen to electronic centred music, old school rap/hip-hop and smoother more acoustic music they are a joy to listen to.
Best Headphones £1000-£3000
Final D8000
Instead of going for the usual neutral-ish sound signature of most high-end models, Final instead decided to make the D8000 enjoyable, with very punchy and dynamic bass and impressive clarity across the board, the D8000 stand out from the crowd.
Best Headphones £3000+
Audeze LCD-5
Full Review: https://blog.hifiheadphones.co.uk/audeze-lcd-5-planar-magnetic-headphone-review/
These are resolving yet enjoyable, they have a reference like tuning without coming across clinical, they have an honest presentation without too much colouration or sweetness to the sound.
