Hello Folks,
My brothers high school graduation is this weekend, and unfortunately, I can't make it home for it. But, I've decided what better gift could I give him than starting him off on the hi-fi road of the damned (i.e. poor)! For this reason, I'm thinking of getting him his first pair of real cans. I was thinking the Grado SR 60 might be the way to go here, but I'm open to suggestions. He listens almost exclusively to rap and hip-hop, with some harder rock tossed in for good measure. His only source is a very crappy PCDP, and sound card on the lap top he hopes to buy this summer. He loves bass, but instead of something that is just boomy, I want to get him something balanced across the spectrum, with deep, tight bass, as well as detailed mids and highs. Suggestions outside fo the Grados?
