Grado SR80

Pros: Fantastic sound and gret price

Cons: the cords can occasionally get twsited

Summary: The very thing that makes these headphones so awesome are the one thing that prevents them from getting a 10. At times the cords get twisted and it makes me mad. Other than that, these headphones are incedible. The sound is so awesome with these, I have heard sounds I never knew existed. I got them online from I think decibel audio, based in chicago. No shipping and they were professional and fast, even called me because I had a simple question. I had to give them a shoutout.

As for the comfort, I have had very little problems. I have a nearly 6 hour break between my morning and afternoon classes and I can put these on for the whole time and have no problem with them at all. As for sound leaking, I use them primarily in the library and I have not had a problem with other people being disturbed. If you are buying someone an ipod or another musical device this holiday season, make sure you do them a favor and get them these headphones.
