Maybe you can buy a nice used pair, so that you can resell without much
loss. Try both...
I have hd-600's and think they're great but can't comment on grados as
I don't own any.

I've had both a decent pair of Grados and currently use Sennheiser
HD600s. They both sounded great, but after 45min of using the Grados
the edges of my ears were raw. The Sennheisers are like like wearing
fluffy bunny clouds on your head, and they sound amazing. I use them
for monitoring
A tiny thing about the sennheisers, but a big one for me:
The wires actually plug into the cans. The wires are quite long, so
you'll probly step/trip over them, roll over them with your chair,
whatever. If your walking with the phones on and you step on the cord,
they just unplug from the

Just thought someone should lean toward the Sennheisers.
I agree, the Sennheiser HD650 are very good

I know there's a price difference, but let's pretend for the purpose of
discussion that money doesn't matter. Which should I get:
The 'Grado RS 1'
(http://www.headphone.com/products/headphones/all-headphones/grado-rs-1.php)
Or
The 'Sennheiser
I prefer the rs-1's, but as the other person said, they are so different
that you really will need to hear them both. Importantly, both need
amps to sound their best (and different amps at that -- grado's want
current while senn's want voltage). Without an amp, you are throwing
away you money.
I understand that I will not really know unless I try them, but it's
getting to be nearly impossible to find places to audition headphones.
Right now I'm leaning toward the Grado's.

I have a much lower end pair of Grados (SR80s). They sound great, and
I love 'em for it,
I use a pair of Grado SR80s when I travel. I started with a similarly
priced pair from Seinheiser and didn't care for them at all, but I have
not made a direct comparison of the higher priced units.
The Grado can be a bit uncomfortable for long listening sessions, but I
haven't had any problem
Great time to buy a s/h pair of RS-1s as the new GS-1000s are now out.
Check out head-fi.org and ebay.
