The Grado’s are uncomfortable though but I believe everyone should try a pair sometime in their headphone life.

Totally agree with the above post
I recently tried the 595s and I couldnt praise them more esp for the money. I used the Grados ( on loan) while my stuff was in storage sometime last year
I do have a pair of ( very comfortable 590s ) and more neutral sounding, a bit less comfortable but costlier 650s and can honestly say that around the £100 mark the Senns (595) are great.
The Grados are without a doubt very impressive ( soundwise, a tad better than the 595's ) but if comfort is a priority and prolonged listening is anticipated I would buy them with caution

A disadvantage with costlier 'phones of a higher calibre is that they dont tend to show what they are capable of until paired with suitable electronics unlikely to exist in an ipod TV or PC soundcard
