I know its not car audio related but I though some of you SQ guys could help me. I'm looking for a set of good Sound quality headphones. I'm looking to spend up to a $150. So far I've looked into Grado SR60, Sennheiser HD 497, and Sony V6's. I was wondering if anyone had any comments or recomendations. Also I'm trying to find a place to buy them(perferably in Saskatoon)or possibley online in Canada.

grado is top dog in terms of bang for your buck, the SR60s are great, the SR80's are amazing....nothing under 300$ sounds as good as the sr80s

Personally speaking, if I could I'd get a set of Stax Electrostatic http://www.mori****a.net/ headphones, they make several models.
Sennheiser would be my next choice( I like the "open air" approach"), AKG being a close 2nd to that. The Grado's are nice as well, I haven't tried them on since they came out long ago, but I found them uncomfortable,
