Your point is well taken. The Grado SR60 synergy thing could be the major problem -- I only became aware after I bought the Airhead that Grado and Headroom may not be a particularly good match. The styling and ergonomics of Headroom amps in general tend to be somewhat of a "love it or hate it" sort of thing -- I guess I fall into the latter camp.

It may also be a question of synergy, twsmith...I haven't heard your SR60's, but for driving Etys, Shures, and even my Senn 590s it really sounds good. And at $99 (now), comparing it to something like a CMOY may be a fairer comparison. |
