Marshall Major for inexpensive closed headphones after grado?

I love my Grado SR-60, but I need one more, closed headphones at work, not to distract my colleagues. I used vintage B&O U70 orthodynamics, but they're very hard to wear for a long time - big pressure for ears is tiring after less than an hour. So I think to replace it with some other closed headphones. I like the appearance and specifications of Marshall Major (their marketing is doing the job nicely :) ), but how about the sound, compared to Grado? Anyone tried both? Could be compared with Beyer d990 (old model), AKG 240, which I also had some time ago. I listen to anything (electronic, some acoustic like Clapton, old Rock like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin) except classics.

If you want a closed Grado, really nothing else compares to a HD25.

In terms of sound, I agree with this, though if the problem with his current headphones is ear pressure, I'm not sure the HD25 would be an improvement.

 

I would definitely recommend over-ears if you want something that will be comfortable for hours on end.
