Hello, looking for the best headphones (under $150) to use with my
home stereo (Sony receiver). I really want something that has
excellent sound, is excellent at managing very high volumes, has
outstanding bass, looks good, and is comfortable. I've heard about
Grado SR80's but have also heard they don't handle a loud sound or
bass reak well and are not the most comfortable headphones (This is
just from what I've heard). If anyone has an alternative
recommendation, I'd much appreciate it... or are those Grado
headphones the best out there. Thanks for any advice!!!

just bought the grado 80's last week.
Sound great, and slightly uncomfortable.
If your looking for something that blocks out some outside sound,
they're not a good choice, but if your listening loud it won't matter.
The most comfortable headphones i tried were the bose triports. I like
how they fit around your whole ear without touching it. Could not
really compare the sound because i did not have them side by side with
the grado's but i remember them sounding pretty good as well.
