MD: headphones: down to 2
Regarding my last post thread on best headphones.I order the Koss Portapros for my small headphones, but now I am down to 2 choices for the full size, either the Grado SR60 or the Sennheiser 490's. What so you guys think? I have heard through many sites that the Grado's are the best [for portable players] but that they are uncomfortable. I can't find any local dealer where I live that carry the Grados for me to try them out. I have however been able to find and try out the Sennheisers and I must say I found them very light and comfortable. I thought the sound was very good as well. Anybody own the Grados that can comment on the sound and comfort of these headphones?? I can get the Grados for $69 and the Sennheisers for @$80. SOwhich one should I get? I would like a headphone that has very good bass response as not to get that "treblely" headphone sound, but I don't want a pair of phones that are uncomfortable to wear.. -Thanks for any help -Trace __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hey Guys, I checked out a lot of headphones, and eventually went for the Beyer Dynamic DT831. Perhaps the best sound I've ever heard. An ear massage that kept making you want to turn it up louder and never take them off. Two probs though (1) they're massive! and (2) my Sony MZ-R55 couldn't drive them (I didn't want the additional hassle of headphone amplifiers). I continued searching and eventually after many many more soundchecks, went for the Sony MDR D77, at around 120 quid Sterling. I think they are called the MDR D55 in the U.S. - probably the same cost but in $. I joined this thread late so please ignore this if it's been covered before. Cheers, Max.

I have a pair of the Grados, and have used the Senns. IMO, it comes down to this: the Grados sound better (including bass, especially when driven from a portable), but the Sennheisers are more comfortable. So you'll have to make the choice based on how much you value those two factors. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
