I'm liking the price point and reviews for the Grado SR-60. Are there other competitors in this price range?

I have done some research and I've decided that semi-open headphones are not the way to go since they generally still leak sound. This narrows my list down to just closed headphones. I am willing to spend up to 100 bucks if the quality merits the price. What else can I add to my list??

I currently have nuforce 6m and they are great. Sometimes having them in my ear all the time bothers me. I'm also aware I can get better quality with bulkier headphones. Here are my criteria: Best 'phones for classical music (video games and other music included, classical most important!)...

none?

any help?

I just bought nuforce ne7m's and I plugged them into my speakers...and now I can hear an electronic hiss more prevalent than ever. I used to only notice it with the speakers cranked, but with quality 'phones it's really annoying. Is there anything I can do to eliminate it?

Strange, I'm missing some songs that I deleted a little while ago...and some are now back...I even deleted them off my computer. Hard drive problem?? I guess the files weren't overwritten when I deleted them.

If you put your ear up to it, do you hear a clicking noise? Yes. It sounds like a slighting tapping maybe 4 taps/second until the sadface appears. Have you tried a system restore, if you can't hear a clicking noise? My computer doesn't recognize the ipod now...it just shows the battery...
