I have a pair of Sonys that completely cover my ears and they sound pretty nice but uncomfortable after a while. I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 pro with similar issues. They sound nice and cover my ears completely but get uncomfortable fairly quick.
Are the Grados fairly light? I would also expect them to breathe a bit so my ears don't get all hot and sweaty after prolonged use, like on a four or five hour flight.
I don't like in-ear phones and I'm not willing to spend hundreds on a headphone that will see very occasional use. Is the Grado SR80i a good choice?
I just happened to see the Grado SR80i listed in the current Consumer Reports as a top pick. However, I don't always agree with this rags findings, especially on electronics.
