SR-225 is the next step.

It will be your job to make sure no matter what, you don't give in and buy them! I wish somebody was my counselor because it would have stopped my hobby from getting this bad!

Balanced sound and an appealing tone make these headphones worth the price tag

Grado is more famed for its traditional, on-ear, hi-fi headphones, but it's a canny company when it comes to portable in-ears too.

The iGis produce an exceptionally balanced sound across the frequency range. There's a certain flavour to the sound, but it's a very appealing tone, which can be as exciting as it can be soothing depending on the type of track being played.

Spin Florence + The Machine's No Light, No Light and detail and dynamics are handed out in equal measure. The quiet, insightful moments concentrating on the vocal contrast well when the drum kicks into life.

There's no inline mic, which might put a few mobile phone users off, but they offer sufficient all-round ability to make them an excellent alternative to the Beyerdynamics - and worth the extra pennies

Thanks guys, I never listen to any Grado before, I just bought it last two months ago without auditioned it. I just read from forum and curios about Grado sound signature. After all, I really love the bright and the forwardness!

Welcome man,the SR80i are great hedphones,but be carefull,this hobby's addictive.

Hi,

I tried the grado sr60i and sr80i today at a local store and was honestly, underwhelmed.

Sure, it guess its generally better than most consumer, highly advertised, headphones but compared to my iem (VSonic gr06), it sounded more muffled, albeit the grado bass were more boomy.

I suspect that this muffledness could be attributed to the comfies, so I'm just hoping to confirm my suspicion with you head-fi-ers.

Does the comfies significantly compromise the sound quality of the grados?

Would modding the grado (bowl pads, felt thing, hole drilling, etc.) significantly improve the audio quality of these cans?

Or am I just one of those who dislike the grado sound signature?

FYI: I listen to mostly rock/metal like slash/avenged sevenfold, & so was pretty surprised I wasn't blown away by the grados

Boomy bass and muffled sound? I have yet to hear a Grado that sounds like that....very odd. The Grados I have are very detailed and airy with a tight, crisp bass response. 

The only time my SR60s have had "boomy bass/muffled sound" is when I tried to compensate for their natural lack of bass with an EQ. They didn't respond very well to that. I wonder if the store had them hooked up to a source EQ'd by the teenage intern?

In natural form they were the opposite; sharp and clear but fatiguing.

I can see how they would be fatiguing for anyone who doesn't like a brighter headphone. I tend to prefer anything from neutral to bright on the top end, so I don't experience much fatigue from them at all. 

I agree, i don't know were he got boomy bass muffled sound from and if he likes rock music grados are the ones, but i have never heard the vsonics but what i have read about them they seem to come with decent headphone cables i.e copper for the sr06 and some sort of silver plating for the sr07..http://www.head-fi.org/t/612586/review-vsonic-gr06-wow
