hope you will try the Grado SR60 - which does very well with ipods etc.. or the Grado SR80i ( which i use with a portable flac player ) before deciding on closed back or open back or anything.

Just go for the sound.. and here the Grados will do well.

Isnt listener comfort and portability a factor too ?
The Grados are award winning cans, sure. But they are not very high on comfort - and are not too portable either.

So when deciding on purchasing, specify if you want to sit and listen comfortably at home, or do you see carrying them somewhere (I do not mean local trains, of course ). And how long do you think you will listen to them.

+1 for the grados. sr80 ftw. And if you dont like the comfort, get sennheiser pads for em. I think the 428 pads fit em but im not too sure.

Sennheiser's are a good choice.

I just recently brought Sennheiser RS120 Wireless Headphones, to rock it on from cromaretail

I think this is the best headphone.

+1 to that. I have been using SR60 for some time now and I prefer it over my Fostex TP50RP for rock.

Edit: BTW...don't think you are looking for a pair of cans for yourself...or are you???
