Or get em used.

The Sennheiser HD497 is also a good choice IMO.

Grado SR60. Best full size headphones for that price.

Once you buy them, turn around, run, and forget you ever found this place. Otherwise, welcome to head-fi, sorry about the wallet.

<-- another vote for the Grado SR-60s

used SR60 get my vote.
If you can EQ the mids down might want to consider a used V6/7506.
Portapro can easily keep up with a V6 and in many ways outperform it.

Betrayer! Grado SR-60, all the way.

I have Senn HD497's, PortaPros and E2C's. Would there be a benefit going with the Grado SR-60's? I've heard that they're very open and not very comfortable.

iPod is my main source these days and heavy metal is my listening pleasure.

For a change of sound, yes, why not, highly recommended, and the only way to find out if you can join team iron ears.

The best part with sr60 besides their price/performance is that you can use various pads and choose 414 ones for more comfort.

by all means, SR60

 

[fr4c]

what specifically will you be using these headphones for? (i.e. types of music etc.)

SR60 are good, but only good for certain things.

I listen to mostly hard rock/metal on my iPod, unamped at the time being. Considering a Pocket Amp 2-version 2. I actually like my budget PortaPros on my iPod but I've never heard Grado's so I don't know how much of an improvement they would be over the PortaPros. Are they more open than the PortaPros?

they are the "rock headphones", so i think you'll enjoy them. they are quite an improvement over the PortaPros, but they leak more.

get the SR-60's, but only if they are going to be used for non portable use a lot. for portable use i really prefer my PortaPros to my SR-60's.
