hey folks.
Up until now, I've spent all my $$$ on my recording gear, and I've decided that's it's time I start listening to my recordings on something better than those $20 speakers I picked up at Best Buy all those years ago...
I'm going to start with a nice set of headphones. I am planning on getting a Grace 901 within the next 6 months or so (as that will take care of a real nice headphone amp, and a DAC in one unit). but in the meantime, I've got to choose the headphones.
I've narrowed it down to the Grado sr225 and the Sennheiser HD580.
I've listened to both, although neither extensively, and, unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to do A/B comparisons.
I've read reviews, and it seems as though more people think the Sennheiser's are more comfortable, but some people prefer the Grado sound.
are there any obvious things that I'm missing. Do any of you use either of these headphones? Have any of you used
both of these headphones? any suggestions? other things that I should think about? any comments at all?
edit to say: I am only planning on using these for home listening. I don't need for them to be portable, I don't need them to monitor while at a show, I don't really need isolation, I just need some great sounding playback gear for my home
thanks
Jason
