The Shure SE210 measure very well. They are only a bit more expensive at $149. http://www.headphone.com/learning-center...pare+Headphones

You just linked a Denon. Here's the Shure graph:

Ah, I see what the problem is. The close brackets in the URL are messing with the link. Nemmind.

Not sure why I linked the Denon, fixed it.

Well, if you overlay the Etys, they appear better on first blush than the Shures.

They do. I should have paid more attention to that first graph I posted and looked at each one more carefully.

Yeah, normally I would have skipped a couple of those due to the graphs, but the "what to buy" article on Headroom was rather convincing. The Grados were just stunningly bad for the price.

Yeah. If you are spending like $10, $20 or even $30 or $40 dollars its reasonable to be able to live with the flaws and get great enjoyment out them. But once you start getting into $80+ range you expect a lot more. Uh no, they got to go!

...go go godzilla! Nice to hear the Etys rose to the top. I like it when I can benefit from the hard work of others.

I must be tone deaf, I think the Senns sound pretty good. They are not Axiom like in sound but for an inexpensive bud I think they sound good.

Naw, I think you have an earlier version which probably sounded a lot better. I have the v. IIs of them.
