I'd be interested.

Well if the choice is between iPod headphones and pretty much anything over $20, the latter will be the better option, so I'd say just go for the MS-1 at your computer.

I think in that budget range it would better to put all of your money into a good, easy-to-drive phone and just get the Fiio E-5 to start. Grados are great for rock but probably not as much for rap. Overall, though, I think grados would be a great option.

Well I'm going to ignore anything I have no chance of being able to afford, so that eliminates Stax. Well if I had to rank just based on the two headphones I have... 1. Grado (MS-1i): Great signature sound. 2. Audio-Technica (AD-700): Awesome soundstage and actually very balanced when given...

I've had some interesting encounters in the last few weeks. Most notably one of my teachers noticed when I brought my MS-1(i)s to school, which kicked off a whole sequence of events. To give some background, here are excerpts from a few posts I've made in the headphone sightings thread recently...

Typing from my iPod Touch. Just saw a pair of MDR 150s and as I typed this kid pulled out some UR 40s. My first open headphone sighting! Today is off to a good start!

Well the clip on mine just broke off a few days ago. It probably wouldn't be too tough to fix, but I'm not going to bother. I just strapped it onto my iPod case with a rubber band. It actually is a pretty good fix. I plan to get the Corda 3Move for my next upgrade, but that probably won't be...

I really want to try out OpenOffice. How does it compare to Microsoft Office?

I don't really like In Flames, although I guess I have their presence on Guitar Hero to thank for helping me transition from Slipknot to real death metal.
