I just bought a pair (thx eduj!) and they are sweet...

I must have a small head tho, as they're a little, um, loose. Time for a bit of judicious headband bending...

I love my 80's. I listen to them everyday for at least three hours.

 

[spurlints]

You should absolutely buy them. For $70, you can't really miss. I got mine (first serious headphones) a few weeks ago, and they have completely changed my music listening experience. As a side note, I've noticed they are particularly adept at reproducing male vocals.

In a word

, yes!

Used SR-225's. Not the 200$ sticker shock... usually about what...25% less in the used market.

I had SR-80's (skipped the 60's, straight to 80's)... had them for a couple years... then 5 minutes before the ety er4p order went in, the HF-1 thread came up. I have #39. <g>

But I'd really think about used 225's if you're thinking about 80's or MS-1's. The HF-1's were quite the step up from the 80's, and the 80's were great.

**BRENT**

OK, I decided I'm going to buy some 60s tonight and see how I like them. However, what are the difference between the Flat Pads, the Bowl Pads, and the Jumbo Pads? I'm looking for the comfort and sound factors.

 

[F107plus5]

If comfort is important....and it is!....don't forget the Senns 414s!

They're pretty and yellow, but they can be used in about fifteen different configurations! Well; maybe four or five, but they sure are something to consider as well!

...and everybody hears differently, so ya pretty well gotta try them yourself to see which ones you like best!

Problem with the SR60 (IMHO) is that its not really a true representation of the rest of the Grado line. Those comfy pads just kill the already anemic Grado soundstage, and further roll off the treble. They also alter the bass to more of a thumpy/night club kind of sound. Comfy padded Grado bass lacks air, texture and resolution. Mids (guitars and vocals) are more closed in sounding than they really should be.

... SR80 FTW. Pick your source and amp wisely and be rewarded.

Just my opinions.

OK, bought some 80s, plus 3 CDs, from Amazon for a grand total of $76

Now, the waiting game...

 

[poonpower]

Ah, the waiting game. I still have nose prints on the front glass from waiting for the truck. It's an evil time I tell ya; an evil time.

MS-1 is a modded version of the SR80 right?

 

[Yuk_Fai]

The MS1 is made by Alessandro (which is still kind of a Grado). It's a different headphone from the SR80, but the general consensus seems to believe the MS1 to sound better. I haven't heard either one myself, but it's what I've noticed over my short time at Head-Fi.

 

[Ruckus]

The SR60/80s and MS-1s. How are they far sound leakage. If I played it at normal level for music enjoyment, just take a guess, dont' know what exact level that is, would someone near me be bothered?

The reviews on these are making me want to give these a shot later in the future next year.

 

[BrookR1]

They leak like a spaghetti strainer. The person next to you may or may not be bothered...depending if you share the same musical tastes with that person.

They leak real bad, i use them only for indoor listening in quiet environments.
