    Looking for the right earphones

    I'd like to get some In ear headphones. My main headphone ever since 2011 has been the good old ATH-M50 which everyone certainly knows about. It's just always appealed to me the most even when compared to more high end headphones i've tried and I guess i'd like to get something that could be...

    Grado's that leak the LEAST

    Bit of an odd title considering such a product probably doesn't exist but just wondering... if there are any Grado fans/collectors that own a pair or know any that don't leak as much as their more popular products infamous for leaking like speakers on your ears... (E.G the Sr60, Sr80, etc)
