Given that the HeadRoom "value rating" system is weighted towards the less expensive stuff that performs well at a low pricepoint (...of course, we all expect the pricey stuff to rock!), the $69 Sr-60 receives higher value marks versus the $95 Sr-80; the Grado Sr-60 may actually represent one of the better bang-for-the-buck headphones in the industry

Have to agree with Jorge here as the SR60 is a great bang of the buck. The SR60 and SR80 do sound very similar. If you use bowls with the SR60 and do a blind test between the two it is very difficult to tell the difference. Same goes with the pads on the SR60 and SR80, it's very hard to tell the difference. If you want to upgrade from the SR60 I would go either SR225 or RS2.
