Comfort, supra/circum, portable/home, build Q, SQ, anything? And, no, I have no idea who those artists are, and I'm not gonna try to find out.

Not very direct since you don't give us anything to work with. Do you know where the "search" button is? Try to get some idea of what you want, for goodness sakes. We're not gonna sit here playing guessing games. I'm just being honest, I do want to help if I can.

I would say a mint used Audio Technica ATH-A900 or Grado SR-225, depending on your preference. A900 works very well without an amp where SR-225 works pretty descent without an amp (but the amp does make 'em sound even better).

Check out a pair of Grado 225s!

lol. Still, I find the original number quite odd, since there shouldn't be more than two numbers past the decimal. Unless maybe you're converting from another form of currency.

The current recommendations are good, but we still need some of the inquirer's input, especially in regards to soundstage and presentation. Do you want to be a few rows back from the performance? Do you want to be on stage with them? Comfort is also fairly important since may people cannot stand grados in that respect.

Eh 183.407- 183.397= .01
and isnt a cent one hundreth of a dollar? like Centimes in France, one hundreth, and .01 is a hundreth of a dollar and if a cent is a hundreth of a dollar then its a whole cent not a tenth of a cent.

We're having some fun aren't we.

I agree Kirosia. I didn't respond at first because you can never tell what a
person considers "best". For example, some people recommend canal phones,
and so I bought them, but I found out that I hated wearing them.


And Grados sound totally different from Senns.
