Yes, this is absolutely off topic... just skip over this if you're not interested, and my apologies.
I saw Dr. Drib mention Grados, and I just had to jump in. I got my first pair (SR 325s!) at least 15 years ago, and they're still going strong. They've been through a lot, and I've replaced ear cushions and even sent them back once after breaking a mounting gimbal; Grado repaired them at no charge - and this was after 10 or 12 years!
I just can't say enough about the quality of their headphones; I really believe you can't do any better. For what it's worth I've been playing synths and recording for nearly 40 years, Brown music degree... I've produced and listened to a LOT of music, and I love Grados.
The SR 325s are now my haul-around, banger pair; I'm now using a pair of GS-1000s and a handmade Ray Samuels Raptor headphone amp. Gawd.
Whatever you spend on Grados, Dr. Drib, they'll bring you a lifetime of pleasure. Best wishes, and enjoy! (and good luck to all on your Borders orders!)
