Title: Great sound but...
Product review: I really enjoyed these, though I can't seem to adapt well to supra-aural phones - I guess I like the perception of isolation that you get with circumaural.These compared very favorably to the pair of Senn HD650s I was also trying out. I particularly liked the bass, which was very present but not overly punchy (I am not a basehead). The sound is overall pretty dry, but very detailed.In the end, I returned them due to the feeling of sandpaper foam on my ears. I don't understand why Grado keeps the same abrasive foam pads given the amount of criticism they get. Is it tradition to dermabrade your pinnae?Am happy with the Senns - I couldn't go beyond an hour of listening on the Grados.
