I have Grado SR80s, Senn HD280 Pros and Senn HD600 (and Senn HD25, Ety 6s, etc etc).
I like the 280 Pros very much. They are much comfier than the Grados. They have excellent isolation from ambient sounds. They are a bit rolled off in the bass and treble but still sound good. They are better with a headphone amp than driven direct from an iPod. Not as neutral as the 600s, not as much bass overemphasis as the 25s, not quite as FM rock sound as the SR80s. They are perhaps a bit bulky for travelling (I use the Etys for the train and plane) although they aren't too geeky looking. I prefer them to the more expensive HD25s, although the latter are good on stage for drum monitoring and I also use them for live mixing to check channels since they are pretty much bombproof.
