Don't know if anyone on here reads Ars Technica much, but they just dropped a decent size article on Grado. I think most on here know most of Grado, but there may be a few n00bs. Maybe some new stuff the vets don't know too. I found it a good read.

The Grado headphone tower..? Does that even work?

Made in USA headphones?

I will give them a look

 

[Buyer no 1]

32 headphone drivers combined to morph into a loudspeaker. I guess the bass response from that speaker will have room for improvement 

 
But great story telling! Thanks for sharing.

Since, I don't care for open back cans, I've never given much considering to buying them before, but the story is pretty interesting.

Open headphones are ideal for home use; there is no need to block outside noise, and the sound is the most natural/realistic.

I just don't care all that much for the sound from open headphones, tried quite a few wasn't really in to any of them.

But what was the reason? Do open headphones attack your ears somehow? If you are looking for comfort (and sound), I recommend Grado SR60e and AKG K612.
