I really do not want to break these phones. They cost a king's ransom and I was only able to afford them because a stuff-up at my employer caused me to be underpaid for a few months after I started working more hours. Even then I took a while to make up my mind. Pretty much my entire back-pay went on them. If it wasn't for that I would have probably "settled" for a Sennheiser HD650. A nice fellow from a local hi-fi forum had both of these models and allowed me to borrow each for about a week. I really seriously liked the Sennheiser but I ~loved~ the Grado. They do take a while to break-in though. Out of the box they sound very harsh. I don't think they're quite there yet but they're a lot better than they were when new. See my other reply about the amplifier...
