Hi there folks,
I'm into buying a new pair of headphones and been researching net for a while, reading reviews, forums (this one as well). After many hours of staring at the screen and some headache, I finally narrowed my choice to these two: Sennheiser HD 558 and Grado SR 225i. They cost exactly the same here in Croatia, so the price doesn't help in choosing
. I've been reading a lot of reviews about these two as well and they are praised a lot, well maybe Grado a bit more, but few cons as well. I would be listening these only at home, using my Yamaha amp (AV receiver actually) and I listen mostly Jazz (all kinds), some Rock, mainly from CDs or DVD's, sometimes FLAC.
My criteria is of course good sound, durability and comfort, as everybody else's, lol. I've noticed complaints about Grado being uncomfortable, but they might sound better, don't know, I'm hoping some of you guys was able to test them at the same time! Ideally, would be nice to test them personally, but that's not an option here, so I must trust others and my instinct. Any advice from you guys would be much appreciated
thanx
