of those 3 the grados are by FAR the best.  I think the 80s are easily worth the extra 20 dollars.

I'd pick the Grado's; all else being equal.  I think they sound better - but there are other considerations -

 

For example, if the need is for closed headphones?

Also, the V6 fold, and they're more durable.

 

They're also more comfortable to wear for long listening sessions.

 

And the Grados are 99.00 all over; you can buy the Sonys for $65.00 (Amazon & elsewhere).

A difference greater than $20.00; almost twice as much.

If you're okay with used, you can find the Grados for much cheaper than 100.  I got mine for under 70.  That makes it only like a $5 difference if you're okay with used.

I have made up my mind. Going with the cheap PortaPros. Financial crunch.

Under those kind of circumstances I think it's a really smart move.

 

Great phones for the money, proven over many years, lifetime warranty...
