My first headphones were Koss ESP-6 electrostatic headphones. I liked them so much that I bought the ESP-9 electrostatics almost immediately. I later switched to Stax electrostatics and then to Grado HP-1's. I still have the Grado HP-1's in addition to Grado RS-2's. I also recently bought some Koss ESP/950 electrostatics as well as some FiiO IEM earphones, too.

I bought my daughter a set of Sr-60 (no 'e') Grados for xmas one year. They're the only Grados I've ever heard.
They sound good for the price.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
Yes, I bought my son the SR-60's and he really liked them. The Grado HP-1's actually sounded better than my Stax Lambda Pro headphones so I gave the Stax to my son and kept the Grado HP-1's. They're very old now and they don't sound as good as they did when new, but I still own the HP-1's although I rarely listen to them.
I'd really love to own the top-of-the-line Stax but I don't want to spend that kind of money. I suppose the best sounding headphones I own today are the Koss ESP/950 Electrostatics although my little FiiO FH-7 IEM earphones might sound just as good. Surprisingly, I've been listening to some FiiO EH3 NC headphones lately because they're convenient Bluetooth wireless headphones. They don't sound as good as the FH-7 IEM's or the Koss electrostatics, but they're the easiest headphones to use.
Best regards,
