I find the Grados uncomfortable. The real question for me is whether physical comfort can outlast listener fatigue with them. |

However, I wouldn't really recommend the HD280 for your listening tastes, as the relatively hollow midbass/lower midrange response may be frustrating. The HD485 is a good choice -- if you like a lot of bass from everything you listen to. But not everyone likes a lot of bass from their music. |
