Grado RS-1
Remains to be seen how the Grado HF-2 turns out, but it may be a strong contender as well.

Could we simply agree on "any Grado you can afford" and leave it at that?

Why to go to another open headphone set? I would go with a close headphone in order to have both flavors. I would look into the Denon line withthe Markl mods. The D7000 is amazing but out of the price range of the HD650. Maybe the D5000 which wit the Markl mods is very good too or a different option is the Ultrasone Pro 900.

Another great idea, especially as Denons (if I can trust my D1001s to represent the Denon house sound) sound almost like closed grados, soundstage-wise at least.

Thanks for suggestios and taking time to reply guys.

At the moment I am looking at pro 900/d5000 and 325i.

Finding it hard to make a decision lol.

Any Grado you can afford that begins with an HF and ends with a 2.

 

[olblueyez]

I told you the HF-2 right?
