which headphones???


Here's the scoop:

I currently own a pair of Grado SR125's. Although they sound good, I have some issues with them.

First, comfort. Wearing them for extended periods kill my ears - my ears actually get sore.

Second - although the bass response is good (ie. tight and articulate), it just does not cut it when it comes to reproducing the lowest notes that might be heard in electronic music or hip hop etc. (yeah yeah!! I know that i've probably generated a few snickers from you readers, but my music tastes cover a VERY wide range - from Beethoven to Black Sabbath over to Public Enemy then back to Loreena McKennitt)

Soooo, I need a headphone that will do it all - and be able to reproduce those low notes of Paul Oakenfold's trance and the Boom Boom Boom of the Lost Boys.

I've so far read about Beyerdynamic (various models) and AKG K270's.

Because it's kinda difficult for me to find these cans anywhere, I will probably have to order them.

HEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!

Grado has a new design for their pads on the ear cups. I recently replaced the original ones with the new style...MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE!
Megasam, I agree! I have both the Sen. 600 and the Grado SR-125. I am using a Headroom Cosmic (battery portable) amp, and the Sen. 600 is a far superior set of phones. However, it is much more difficult to drive and does not play as loudly. For cruising on the backroads of the Sonoran Desert with the windows down/sunroof open, the Grado-125's are the choice (wind noise). When in the hotel room, definitely the Sen. 600's!
