After a bad experience with Phillips streetphones I cant really understand who would favor this design.The hs820 sounds good(Mids a bit recessed but good bass and treble)but the design killed it for me.That band that runs around the back of your head drove me crazy.If your shirt collar hits it you hear it in the phones and if you lean your head back in a chair the band pushes the phones off its ear placement.Nothing like those comfortable ksc 75 adjustable earclips.Hope the grado streetphones go for the clip or perhaps a new design,anything but that stupid behind the head band.

I sometimes lie on my back, during summer time it's nice to be able to lie down and close your eyes, instead of sitting all the time, + headbands do have tendency to touch the collar of your jacket...

Now that I think about it...Over the head headphones are pretty much the only way to go, for me. I even modded the KSC75s with a headband. Just seems like something is missing when you can't feel the headband on the top of your head.

Well, that will depend on you. :p

If you use coat hangers and electrical tape...then No, it is not difficult
