    Grado PS500 for 300$?

    So, I have SR80e and want to upgrade. I heard 225e, 325e, ps500e, RS1 and I definitely want ps500e. I have an option to buy ps500 version (without e) for 300$. If someone knows what the difference between ps500 and ps500e is, and if they sound similar, please share. Thank you

    Considering options

    Yess, I would go with portapro, but he stated that he wants circum-aural hp, and UR40 has the same drivers as portapro and sound maybe even better, so.. there you go  :)

Sure, one of those cars will get...
