IMO, they're overpriced for what you get in the US. I don't like the inexpensive one's sound signature and I'm not all that impressed with the sound signature of the more expensive ones, which are all more than I pay for a headphone anyway. I've not heard the highest end ones. I also can't stand the comfort and the ones I've listened to have had all types of pads. The only pair I've tried that were comfortable had a pair of very old, very worn out pads.
I don't like how they don't sound that special.
Grado's dont change to suit your head, your head changes to suit them.
It took me about 2 weeks, to build up the "calluses" so to speak. After which time there is no longer discomfort. I will admit however, that the initial adjustment time in the begining was mildly discomforting
It is a positive that the sound kept me coming back to them, for my head to adjust to them. Now I do not even notice they are on my head.
There are a few headphones that excel at rock over any Grado, but they are rare and can be expensive. I guess Grados can be the "rock" headphones for the average guy.
I would like to know which ones. I'll admit grados aren't the most comfortable but the sound always keep inviting itself back onto my head.

I have the doughnut, and flat pads, IMO they feel the same, one just makes them sit a bit further from your ear, I have no issues with comfort, they don't clamp tight, the headband doesn't bother me so I have no idea why people say they are uncomfortable.
