Hi guys, new here. Didn't really use headphones at all until recently, but now that my CD collection is all lossless on my new iRiver H140 (long time dream come true), I really need something better and more reliable than the buds.
My preference is audiophile detail but musical, with present bass (prefer accurate to artifically overblown). I'm waiting on a cheap KSC-75 set I've just bought after all the praise it's getting here, but the Grado 60s/80s also sound interesting from what I've read, and are more refined right?
I know the Grado Streetstyles are imminent, but I haven't found any info on what quality level they're aiming for - are these going to be portable SR60s, or are we talking reduced quality at a cheaper price point? Does anyone know yet?
In the meantime, I'm after a SR60/80 to mod into streetstyle myself, so if anybody has a cheap set (cosmetic damage no problem, I'll sand them), or even just the earpieces with fully working and good sounding drivers, PM me.
