They're not the most comfortable pair of headphones, but not too bad. Bass is ample; much better than the speakers I have connected to my computer (small Celestions bookshelf speakers with a Tascam power amp). For the in-ear types, I have the Etymotic Research ER-6, which also sound very good but again, since they go in your ear canal, they're much less comfortable than the Grados. The isolation is amazing though. I can't hear anything else when I'm listening to "dense" (meaning heavy) music on them. Also about $65 US, I think. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
