iGrado, SR60, SR80, Vibes (technically open), Koss' own Portapro, Senn PX100 and the list goes on. This KSC75 madness has to stop. YES they sound amazing for the price. NO that does not mean that they beat every headphone on the planet under $100. It's hard to argue with the value, but value does not equal sound quality and some of us here, myself included, would rather pay a few (or many) extra bucks for better quality. KSC75 does not make all other headphones under the $100 mark redundant.
Back to the OP - the iGrado is a great little streetstyle, very much like the SR60. I found the iGrado to have slightly more bass than the SR60 and was generally a lot of fun to listen to across a number of different genres (good for Rock, Metal and IDM, AMAZING for hip hop). I ended up replacing the iGrado with SR60s for no other reason than the fact that I just can't seem to get used to the fit of anything but a traditional headband - although I can't say the iGrado was uncomfortable, they fit me rather well.
It's a dense market with solid offerings at that pricepoint, but try to get a chance to listen to them. They are a great entry-level headphone.
