I've been in a long-term relationship with my AKG-271s for a while now. But, you know how it is...itchy feet (itchy ears?)...tempted by that kinda retro-cool thing going on at Grado...
But (a) how much noise leaks OUT of Grado phones? I listen mostly at the office and I don't want to disturb my diligent co-workers. I gave up on AKG-501s for that reason although, curiously, the little Koss clip-ons I use with an iPod don't seem to disturb anyone. (b) what's the best bang-for-buck in the Grado line? I listen mainly to jazz and blues, with phones amped by either a Meier HA-1 or my trusty Marantz 1060.
Thanks in advance.
