At the beginning I thought I need a closed headphone but now I don't think that anymore. I can't imagine that I disturb my roommates and neighbours with an open headphone when my door is closed. So please tell me your suggestions for open headphones.
Yeah, open headphones are not exactly speakers.
Grados are very expensive on this side of pond indeed, but you can strike some very good deals on used market. Thats how I have gotten all my Grados minus HF2. Or Alessandro serie is pretty much made for guitar related stuff. Warranty is a problem indeed, but factory lemons are not terribly common but its still a risk. I cant think of other headphone in your price range ATM. Sony SA5000 is lovely on guitars, but is also very pricy around here. DT880 is good but bit flat for generally rocking out. I dont particularly care for DT990. Slight bassboost compared to DT880 is welcome, but pronouncing the already spiky treble of DT880 is a mistake. Way too piercing to my ears.
