I'm constantly hearing details, subtle timbre of instruments, and changes/fluctuations in notes I've never heard before. The soundstage is as great as everyone is reporting, but it's not just SIZE: the entire spatial thang (the soundscape) is amazing. If I turn my attention to a single strand (a voice) in a harmony on Abbey Road, I hear that Beatle like I've never heard him, yet the harmony remains more cohesive than I've heard before also.
They have the "Grado sound" in spades, but in a whole new setting, and yes, a slightly different perspective. The in your face aspect is tempered just a bit, but the dynamics are fantastic. I have a feeling that this may be a headphone that Grado lovers and folks who've never loved a Grado, will love.
The highs just keep getting better, and they started out good. The bass is without a doubt the best I've ever heard on a headphone - super tight, very deep, and not bloated or running into the mids even a smidgeon. The mids themselves are just beautiful. It is all amazingly in balance; enormous amounts of everything you want to hear.
These phones are both fast and liquid in my system, musical as hell, matching the best I've heard from great speakers more then I'd have believed a headphone could.
Worth every penny, and then some!

Agree -- 100%. I've gone through a bunch of cans, including the HD650 and K701, and the GS1000 is the only one that doesn't leave me wanting. I'll hang on to the 701 for its lightness and clarity, the 650 for rock, but the 1000 is my first choice for everything for the very reasons presented by Analog'd.

What's a good entry level at-home headphone for ~$100? I'm using a headset so anything would be an upgrade

Ive been looking over the IEM headphones and it seems like most good ones are out of my price range. I dont have an amp that I use for regular listening so these are mainly going to be used at school, gym, and at home. I want to get the most quality for my money. I can go up a few more dollars but i am trying to keep the price low. Also I am looking for a pair they would sell at local electronic stores like best buy or circuit city.
Thanks for the help,
Willie

I was astonished when I first listened to its deep sound, like the one from drum.
