humm.....no, HeadRoom conducts tests on headphones ranging from $20-$1000. Graphs don't indicate the cost of the headphone at all. And none of the headphones mentioned are $600
So a made up FRG is what your "article" is about?
There's no pseudo science going on here
Maybe you should ask Tyll to actually measure the SR80 if it's supposed to have a flatter FRG then any other headphone out there....it wouldn't be logical that it would follow the same sound signature as other Grados: which have emphasis in the upper mids.
I have the SR325i and my ears would say it's far from dead neutral.
Anyway, enjoy those CX-300s. I haven't listened to them myself. I just use what ever junkie street style earphones I have laying around for when I want portable audio. But maybe I'll read your impressions of buds if I ever decide to buy a pair.
