I'm not sure which are the best portable, inexpensive and closed cans out there but all I found around me (nearby stores) was the AKG K81 DJs, Sennheiser HD 280 Pros, Ultrasone DJ1 HFI-500 and the Beyerdynamic DT 250s (at an extremly high price). I just want to know which of these have the...

Oker... how about the price difference does that matter that much by $50?

Okay... I listen to Rock, Punk Rock, Hard Rock, Alternative Rock, Classic Rock... any type of rock and rarely any rap and some metal. I might get one of my mom's classy cds to try on for the highs quialty. How are the highs and lows on both the senns and the grados btw?

And I'm also wondering if the Senns are portable or not The Grados don't have a 1/8' plug which sucks, does this mean its not for portables?

thanks skudmunky and mr56k! i'm thinking about going to get the headphones today so i need as much info on these two cans asap

Ok SR225s, They are $200 on HeadRoom and they only got a 3.5 rating there... Whereas the Sennheiser HD 595s on HeadRoom are $289 with 5 star rating. The two headphones differ by less than $100 dollars USD while the two differ by $50 Cad. How about sound quilaty? are the senns better...

So.... what should i go with??? (apart from the ridiculous canadian pricing) anyone??

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I dun have an amp and i dun want to get one right now. So I'm just looking for a great sounding headphone that can work well with my iPod.

Yeah they have the SR225s at $300 but i can probably get a couple bucks off for a discount. Is that really worth it though?

I recently made a mistake in buying some home audio equipment at a near by store. Long story short, I ended up with $150 (cad) in store credit becuase they do not offer refunds. With the $150 I am willing to buy a decent pair of headphones that are comfortable and good sounding. I can...

Thanks guys, but all Alessandros aside, is the Grado SR 80s worth buying at $180?

Thanks Zorander, but how long does it take to ship? I'm going on vacation soon so i might end up buying the Grados at my local headphone store.

Oh, I didn't know about the Alessandro MS-1, I'll see if I can get them. And by the way, how does the Grado SR 80s sound on a portable (iPod). Are the 60s better used for the portables or are they similar? Thanks.

Hey guys, first time poster here. I'm just wondering which pair of Grado cans are better: the Grado SR 60s or the SR 80s. I'm not sure if theres a topic like this in the forums (didn't really do too much searching) but it'd help me out a lot. Oh yeah and also I'm Canadian and the Grado...
