Well after a few weeks I have to say I really like these Grado sr80x headphones. I've just spent the best part of 3hrs using them this afternoon without my lugs getting all hot and sweaty and not a hint of discomfort. They remind me of wharfedale diamond 10.1 speakers, not the most sophisticated but just really enjoyable to listen to
