I've been reading up on these and people say they are awesome for rock and most types of music without the use of a headphone amp, and are a bit cheaper. Any ideas?

The main reason I haven't been looking into the grado's is because of the design, I think there ugly as fuck, and look very uncomfortable.

I'm ordering tomorrow.

the grado 1000's are the best headphones made,they shold be used with a headphone amp to get optimum sound http://hcmaudio.com/comp.asp?compID=1043 review http://www.audaud.com/article.php?ArticleID=2074

All Grado's look uncomfortable as fuck though. I ain't knocking the Grado's at all, I still might buy either a pair of Grado's sr80 or the senn HD280's.

I will say this though, If your listening to mp3's don't waste your time with anything under 192kbs because that's the bare minimum you can go, 128kbs sounds like pure shit. 192 is pushing it. I don't think I'll download anything under 320kbs anymore.

I'd really say Lossless is the way to go, I was listening to The Heart of Everything by Within Temptation and it sounded like pure garbage but it was encoded at 160kbs and it shows.

Any flaws in the music you'll hear it with the better cans, Kind of a downside with the better hardware I guess. Well It just forces you to get the best quality possible.

Sar let me know how those Beyers do ya, I'm curious. Sar the K 701's are made of pure sexiness, You have no idea. There huge but there great cans.

At the moment of ordering, I got cold feet, and wanted to get the K701s instead. Then I researched some more - but it's pointless. Around 50% say the beyers suck and akgs rule, and the other 50% say the opposite.

In the end I got the 880s as they were the cheapest (ordering from germany).

Still waiting for delivery - sold my Alessandros. They really are uncomfortable - Ï don't get why the comfort thing isn't explored more by the manufacturers, its my #2 concern after SQ.

It's a tough choice it really is. It took me well over a month of deciding which cans I actually wanted. My short list from the first post in this thread has changed dramatically since I started ordering. I still may get the HD280's as a second pair, but I'm super pleased with my choice for the AKG's and I got them for $235 after shipping.

at first the comfort level wasn't that great on the AKG's, but they've gotten a lot better after a couple days of use. and as for sound quality there literally amazing. They do lack the punchy bass, The lows kind of roll off, but the lows are very tight.

I know exactly why people say these cans suck with Metal but it's the sound I prefer, The sound isn't colored at all.

How much did you get the 880's for?

::EDIT:: Last night I listened to Pink Floyd The Wall cd2 and that was great, and just listened to Aerosmith's first cd with Dream on, and now Toys in the Attic, sound great.

Trust me on this delete or throw away your mp3's that's under 192kbs, they'll sound like garbage. I pretty much have to get Flac Lossess audio.

Has anyone ever used a Altoids Cmoy amp? I'm going to get one for my mp3 player, and try it on the pc.

I've decided to get an actual amp for these cans. I've been reading up on the headphone amps and I feel the sound could be 20x better with one.
