What about a live one on Google Spreadsheets?

Yeah we’ve been working on an updated ranking system. Should be public soon.

Hey Resolve, approximately when will the new rankings be released? Thanks🙂
Should be soon. Probably in a few weeks.

A christmas special article! Sounds good 
Well, we’ll see. We filmed a new tier list video that’s being edited right now and it’s based on a new ranking system. But we’re trying to also make it a component of the website, which also takes a bit of time to implement.
I do expect the new ranking system to break some hearts, particularly because we’ve changed the scaling a bit. So there is no headphone that actually achieves higher than like… 7/10 for me, or there abouts, and what we might consider otherwise ‘good’ headphones are closer to 5 or 6. That’s because we’re considering the full range of possible sound quality for bass mids and treble, rather than a compressed scale which is what people might be used to from ranking lists, and quite frankly there is no headphone that genuinely achieves top marks across the board without EQ.
But, we figured this is actually a better depiction of how a given headphone performs relative to how a headphone could perform.

Are you accounting for EQ? I mean sure I’m interested in a ranking of headphones without EQ, but I’m more interested in which ones can easily be EQ’d to S tier level and how those would compare in comfort, drivability, etc.

It’s not an EQ based ranking list. I think that may be something for future lists or sub lists. We also haven’t decided which parts of it to make visible, since there was a specific methodology to this. But I can see for example a list where it weights our treble scores much more highly, and it would thereby entail a better “easy EQ” ranking.
