I heard a Stax SRS-4040 Signature system with SRM-006t energiser for maybe ten minutes at a local hifi shop and it has left an indelible impression!

Their only problem is build quality and I am concerned they are not going last the long hawl. So I am interested in which other full size open phones might suit my tastes so I thought I'd see what other ER-4S users like. I am interested in the ATH-AD2000, Grado SR-325i and RS1 and Sony CD3000 as well as any other suggestions. So, please list your favourite full size open cans with a brief comparison with the ER-4S (or better yet with the Koss if you are one of the few owners). Thanks |

I could be wrong but I get the impression that hearing lost starts from the higher frequency. |
