Try as many as you can at your local hifi shop :)

Don't know anything like this here in Brazil, I'll do a google search :lol: Of course Amazon wouldn't ship to Brazil the Grado  :x

I think these guys are pretty good with shipping. And they have great cans.

If your serious about listening to music on headphones than you will be prepared to spend £100+ on a good set of cans.

If you buy £30-£40 in ear headphones then they will cr@p out alot and sound moderate at best. Sennhieser in ears are the best ive heard at £30 but they brake every other day, so you end up spending more anyway.

As with almost everything though it is a matter of preference. you have to look at what you want a fit the specs together.

Same as buying a guitar.

This.

The only exception for me has been the senn CX95s. They can be had for 50 quid, and sounded better than my future sonics atrios (good bang for buck at 100).

Yer i'll admit there are exeption.

I really like my AKG K81's and they can be picked up for around £35. But they are uncomfortable and need new jacks all the time.

Sennheiser HD 600 are excellent, don't know how much would you be willing to pay?, kind of pricey but best quality. We had them for years and use them daily, audiophile quality without going over the 1000's and very comfortable.

I'm looking now on a Grado RS2 used, just because it looks terrific with the Mahogany (and it's one of the top products), it's only US$275 + shipping

If it don't work, my max will be about US$100 (R$180), as I'm going to buy too a shoulder protection as my right shoulder is giving me pain everytime I move it and perhaps an Ancient Kauri body blank :D
