Howdy, head-fiers--first time poster here.
I'm a aspiring audiophile that is still very much in newbie status, who currently has Grado SR-60s with an iPod with most of the music ripped to Apple Lossless format. An overwhelming majority of my music collection is pop/rock music with alot of harmony vocals (beatles/beach boys/queen/elo/fleetwood mac/etc), and those harmony vocals are huge part of why I love the music that I love. Are there any other harmony rock aficionados out there who can give a headphone recommendation to someone with my music tastes who is looking graduate up to the headphone big-leagues?
Also, I listen to music in a work environment and the openness (hope that's the right term) of my SR-60s is sometimes a major drawback, since i can hear people talking next to me as loud as I can hear my music. Are any sealed cans out there worth a damn? Are most "open" cans actually less open than the SR-60s?
Many thanks for any help you can give!
