Im buying my first pair of grado next month. Which models you guys suggest? SR60 or 80's? 

There are quite a few threads around here (and on other forums) dealing with this question, so I suggest you have a look at them.
 
If you can afford the 80s, why not?
At the end of the day the difference is only $20USD, but I guess this is a 25% increase.
From what I've read around here regarding 80i vs 60i the 80s are said to have a more detailed and fuller bass.
 
I haven't personally heard the 60i-s though, if you can try them both I highly recommend it.
Goodluck.

I, too, started my Grado trip with a pair of MS1is, my first real hi-fi (mid-fi?) headphones, and, to my ears, they are absolutely incredible -  and pair up veeeeery nicely with this Penguin Caffeine, hopefully even better with the incoming C421.
 
Now, not to turn this into an advice thread, but say I was selling an extremely rare pocket knife, and was setting aside the money specifically for audio usage.
 
I'm definitely leaning towards a pair of MS2is, but the idea of woodying and recabling my MS1is is also very, very appealing, so I was curious as to other, more experienced, people's thoughts on the matter.
 
(Just finished Yo-Yo Ma plays Ennio Morricone, and starting Blind Guardian - A Twist in the Myth.  Dear god.  Every time I listen to something recorded well - well being a relative term, as I've heard some amazing things done with lo-fi, like The Ruins of Beverast - Unlock the Shrine - it's like a revelation.)

Unless you have zero sensitivity to brightly lit treble, my suggestion is that you should keep saving until you have enough for the Ms-PRO. I had the SR325is and although some claim the MS2 doesnt jab the icepick quite so far into one's brain (on certain tracks), I'm not prepared to go back down that road. They are also surprisingly heavy on one's head for extended listening.

I am actually somewhat treble sensitive, but also wife-kicking-my-ass sensitive.  I think MSPros, much as I would love a pair, are well out of my spending range. 
 
(Besides, I'd just get PS500s if I was already going to shell out that much.)

Unbelievable ~ I've found 2 x Thai audio threads with guys selling on, yes, already selling on their PS500's
and yet we have no official reviews on Head-Fi in the US

Someone in another thread mentioned a big shipment of them going to Asia, and none here.  Heresay, but...seems odd to say the least, if it's true.

Depends on your price range, my 325's are my main HP but between those two the 80 is the clear choice - better hp, better cable, improved pad, slightly more bass.

^^ They're just slightly different flavor of the same sound....lol....very clever marketing strategy...making people buying all of them to compare haha
