Hello everyone,
My name is Dan and I'm a first time poster here.
I just purchased a set of Grado SR80i's and I am totally in love with the sound. I've heard that a lot of people on here can't stand the way they feel for too long, but that isn't my concern at all. I simply can't have headphones that are this audible to people in the area. I understand that the open-back design will do that so I can't really look for another set of Grado's.
My last set of headphones was a set of Sony MDR-60's. The sound was okay (my description after hearing these Grado headphones), but they were the most comfortable headphones I had ever worn and the added benefit of being silent to people around me.
I'm currently in college with three semesters to go and going to a library with the Grado headphones is pretty much impossible because of how loud they are to other people.
So basically what I'm looking for is this (in order of my priority):
- Priced no higher than $150
- Silent to those around me
- Comparable sound to the Grado's.
Once I get out of college, I may get myself a permanent set of Grado's, but for right now, that's an impossibility, so I'm going to have to return these.
Thanks,
Dan
