I've been listening to Grado's almost exclusively for almost a year. Started out with a pair of SR60's because after reading several threads and posts here on head fi, discerned they were great entry level phones and also quite possibly the best brand for rock. I've had other Grado's that have came and went over the course of the past year and for whater reason always seem to come to the conclusion that the SR60's, all things considered are more than adequate. Although I may get a pair of used 225's at some point in the future.
What am I missing out on though by buying into the Grado hype that seems to suggest they are the best phone for rock. Any suggestions other than Denon's, the recessed mids drove me nuts
My musical tastes are mostly classic rock and bluesy jam band sort of stuff like the Allman Brothers or Government Mule but not limited to that. I guess what I'm trying to say is I think I'm looking for an all arounder that's good at a lot of stuff but not necessarily great at anything.
Also I think I prefer open to closed, something like the Beyer 990 maybe?
