Senn HD800s with Bottlehead Crack amp. Heaven. The 800s are *very* heavy, but are also the most comfortable cans I've ever used, and I can have them on for hours. Absurdly expensive, and could probably be sold $100-200 cheaper if they didn't include overdone fancy packaging. Closest thing to 1970's era e-stats I've heard. Bass, which goes *very* deep (*and* clean and fast) is much less "headphone-like" than the Grados, so they never sound like little pistons pounding on your eardrums. Add a Corda Crossfeed circuit to your headphone amp of choice, and you can have something pretty special.

  but arguably, not high up the Grado food chain to earn the right to comment
  
  When the RS80 is your personal high-water mark, any comparison of Grado to as a Senn HD600 seems a bit silly.
  
  Until I can afford to try something like an RS1i, I'll not pass judgement on Grado.
