Is there really anything more fun than some rock or jazz (or maybe rap
or techno..) on a set of Grado SR60's?

With all the phones that you've tried, is there anything else that comes close in fun factor?

225's maybe, but not that much! Grado 60's are as fun if not more fun than rs-1's, the lack of detail actually makes it a balanced can on my ears, so it is really easy just to fall in with the music and not think about anything else, which is the definition of fun IMO

Those are exactly the ones I was thinking about. I've not tried them, but reading a review today on a web site I started dreaming about lightening my
wallet, but then it occured to me: what if I'm already there and don't need to go any furthur? How much happier can a headfier be?

have you heard Grados? if not, you'll understand as soon as you do.

sometimes descriptions don't work for people that haven't experienced what is being desbribed.
