I've been looking around for a pair of full size cans for quite a while now, having only owned the Shure E5s up til now. Last week I went into a local hi-fi shop and tried out the Grado SR-80s... and I loved them! The problem is that I tend not to be happy when i buy bottom of the range products!
I'll almost certainly not be able to audition any others in the range before buying, and as I live in the UK, where Grado products are stupidly expensive, I don't want to make the wrong decision. What I want to know, is whether it's worth buying a high end Grado, maybe even the RS-1, without having heard the sound? Are they pretty much the same as the SR-80s but better, or do they have a different sound entirely that I might not like? Do you think i might be better off sticking with canal-phones and getting the UE-10Pros? Any advice would be much appreciated!
