Well, I've got some awesome info. Honestly, The only reason I was looking at Grados are simply because of all the great things I've heard about them. I'm completely open to any suggestions. Here's my stuff though.
-I need something natural sounding. Not boomy or whiny... just pure, crystal clear, clean sound. I've heard open-backed cans are better at this than closed, so I was most recently looking into the SR-125s but if they're uncomfortable, or sound goofy (no one within an hour drive carries Grados, so I can't really listen before purchasing.), then I'll look for something else.
-I would like something a bit lighter than my HD280s (they weigh in at 285g), but slightly heavier is ok.
-I cannot afford an amp so I need something with a somewhat low nominal impedence.
-I also would need something that goes over my ears, not on.
-And I really don't want to spend more than $150.
Any ideas anyone?
