I am more likely to be swayed one way or the other based on SQ (especially in terms of which has the broadest soundstage) more than comfort.
I would be amping whichever I might get with the latest version of the Total Airhead.
Thank you.

I think because at begining price point for getting started into audio quality headphones will be the reason why the SR60's are more popular and get more favored reviews.
the bowl pads on the SR 80's and up are a plus.
a friend and head-fi member gave me his old pair of SR80's and that's how I began my affair with Grado's. from there I went to the SR225's and the RS1's.
you may first want to start off with a set of low end Grado's but you really should spend as much money as you can afford on headphones for they will be your best investment into a system. the SR225's are also a well favored step into Grado's.
