 Ultimate Headphones.... Grado GS1000 vs AKG K701 vs Sennheiser HD650
Even though the Senn's are still adored by some in the press, I still love the detail you hear with the Grado's and continue to be a Grado affectionado, (have been listening to the SR325i and RS1 for a while now).
I will mention, a few years back, I started using my Grado's with what we call a "Comfort Ring." Basically, a circumaural earpad with soft material placed between the Grado earpad and the ear, (not a permanent attachment so you can go back and forth between supra-aural and circumaural).
For those who don't know the Grado line, the RS1 is their wood body headphone that's had a cult following for the past decade.

 Headphone Recommendations - Grado Headphones, Sennheiser, Koss, & Noisebuster Noise Reduction
Grado headphones are supra-aural which has been the source of some criticism for their comfort level, (it's also part of the secret behind their great sound quality).
Also the Grado's are light weight, and since the headband is a sturdy leather or vinyl covered metal band, they can be bent to conform to your head (try that with the plastic cheapies).
Grado's headphones are not sold at department stores or mass merchandisers because they are not discount, large volume products.

 Grado SR80 Reviews at AudioReview.com
I purchased the Grado SR80, and all I can say is that I am amazed at the clarity and depth of music, I am using it with my new 30GB IPOD.
i think grado must have upgraded the comfort thing because these babies are hardly noticeable and i have a big noggin, 7 3/4.
But one thing has remained constant over the years: when I plug the Grados in, I'm instantly absorbed in and moved by the music and I stop thinking about whether the music is 100% accurate, or whether I'm hearing every last detail and nuance (the Grados are, as it happens, very good in these areas).

On DVDs such as The Matrix Reloaded, the differences between the Pioneer and the Grado were less obvious, but for audiophiles who crave the best sound, the RA1's greater clarity will add a new dimension to the listening experience.
That's why Grado introduced a "high-gain" model, the RA1-HG ($425), for use with other brands of headphones.
The Grado RA1 is a welcome addition to any listening station, but even the battery-powered version is a bit hefty for toting around.

 Grado SR60 headphones review
Despite their antique looks, the easily adjusted Grados are remarkably comfortable to wear and feel very light on the bonce, with the 'breathable' foam pads letting you enjoy extended listening sessions.
A few hours spent with the Grados saw new life blown into old recordings, revealing hitherto-unheard subtleties and intricacies, while new CDs were silky smooth, natural-sounding, transparent and powerful.
Hi-fi reviewers have been frothing about the Grados since they first appeared on the market over ten years ago and it's easy to see why - a few minutes with these headphones should be enough to get you reaching for your wallet.

 Stereophile: Grado Laboratories SR 125 headphones
I've always favored Grado headphones because the minimal-resonance design philosophy that I feel is responsible for the uncolored midrange of their moving-iron cartridges extends throughout their headphone range as well.
Well, most of my composing was done in the evenings and weekends, when either the baby was sleeping or my mother-in-law was watching TV in the computer room, and I did not want to submit my family to the process of musical composition (it's kind of like watching sausage being made).
However, in order to achieve bass extension, resolution, and clarity, Grado houses the drivers in wooden "salad bowl" cans which, I believe, are made from the same materials as their Reference-series cartridges.

 Grado SR60 Reviews at AudioReview.com
The Grado has a lot of sound that can be heard by co-workers, etc. The Sony unit is more sealed and goes around the ear.
The Grado headband is not too tight (after I stretched it a bit) as some people say, but it can give you the feeling that it is falling off your head if you don’t have everything adjusted right.
The Grado SR60 does have better sound (although as I said both units are very good) but the cord is heavier and the headband is harder to keep on your head.

 Amazon.com: SR80: Electronics
I was unfamiliar with the Grado brand, but all of the reviews were fantastic for their entire line.
Research on a bunch of audiophile sites said that open-ear headphones gave the most natural sound, and the Grado SR 80's were rated the best buy for any headphones under one hundred fifty dollars, better than the more famous Sennheiser brand.
I finally found a few reviews that said the newer pads on the Grado's were more comfortable and became even more comfortable after a short break in period, just like the sound quality improves after a few dozen hours of play.
