so I wish it was grado, however most people in the music industry, in my area only remeber grado for their carteradge

however... same goes with the ety's they aren't the most famous


i'd say the next would be the sennheiser 580/600 series
they were very common and very highly rated

(not overated) they are good

the SONY MDR-V6 is a great headphone. dont bash the good sonys. just the v###dj series and v600 and streetstyles and...

[r3cc0s]

oops my bad
i mean like dj500, 700 600 etc...
the v6 is good
the d66 is apparenlty good
I don't like the ex70
I don't like the cdr 1700
but I do like the cdr-3000

and i would like to try a r10 sometime

Grado SR-80 : Great value, doesn't need amp, sharp clarity (ok I haven't heard the higher end models nor Senns), very aggressive for rock, soundstage is kinda weird

[rawhit]

Grado 325 :
These are the only metal phones n the current grado line. aluminium earcups look very cool and retro. Considered by many as the best value among the grado phones.

Sound :
Overall sound conveys great detail and impact. Bass is not the deepest but acurate and tight. Clear midrange and excellect detail resolution. Some people might find them a bit bright though.
Soundstage is not very big but good for a headphone. Vocals sound very intimate.

Strengths:
great impact, very good detail resolution.

Weakness:
they are not the most neutral cans around but the 325s are very musical. some people might find them bright and uncomfortable.

do a great job with rock music and reproducing acoustic guitar music.

AKG K401 - very natural. Soundstage is just amazing. There is bass but is seems lacking.

Philips HP890 - almost the same to the AKG except that the bass is much much better. On some rap/techno CDs that I've listened to, it feels that there's a sub inside. I can feel the vibration.
