I know this has been discussed many times over, but I could not find all of the information I want in one place, so forgive me for repeating.
I was considering upgrading my Senn HD-590 to something like the HD-595, but I have not been able to audition a broken in pair of 595's yet, so I thought I would consider Grado's/Alessandro's as an alternative. Here is my question:
Given a budget of 150 to 200 dollars, what would be the best (most bang for the buck) combination of Grado's (SR-60 or 80)/Alessandro MS-1 and accesories?
I value comfort very highly (just below sound quality), so in either case, I would like to upgrage the headphone to use either very comfy on ear pads, or circumaural pads (similar to what my HD-590's have). I would much prefer the circumaural pads, and would be willing to pay extra for them. I listen to rock music exculsively (everything from pop rock to really heavy stuff). I am looking for something brighter and more aggressive that my HD-590's, and I do have a small amp (HeadRoom Airhead) that I can use.
I have looked at the C-pad upgrade from Headphile (Zeta flat or port), and one or two comfy/custom pads for grado's. Do any of these mods fit on the Alessandro MS-1's? How about the Senn 414 pads? Do they require an adapter to fit on the Grado's/Alessandro's?
Thanks in advance for all of your advice. Please be specific, and whenever possible, include a website where I can find the accesories you mention.
