[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 675, member: 18"] Probably a good bet (and easy to drive), though if they sound similar to HD580/600/650 I would probably find them a little dark sounding. However if you are happy with these cans, why change? Unfortunately in this cuontry you'll unlikely get a chance to compare any cans AB, especially not in a shop. Audio distribution i this country is poor compared to overseas. With the dollar being fairly favourable, I'd not think too hard about purchasing overseas. Grado's are not the most comfortable can ever (an understatement, I hate my ears gettign pressed on for >30 minutes) and sound rather aggressive (but look cool). I would investigate AKG, Beyerdynamic, the Japanese Audio Technica (one can purchase them online, the ATH-40fs et al don't seem to get too many good reviews and a studio can is often just that becasue of comfort and durability and more often than not with a very strong boost in the midrange to improve vocal intelligibility) [/QUOTE]
