ATH-M50's are decent and have a good price tag.

I like Grados. They are not comfortable, but they break in a bit.

i think grados are terrible idea for reference cans....at first i loved my sr325i's, but they led to extremely bad mixing decisions for me....the highs and mids were so hyped that over a short time my ears got fatigued and deadened to the treble...this led to everything sounding dull and me adding so much treble boost (or bass cut) that were actually painful in translation to listen to

this can be somewhat avoided by taking regular breaks, but after a while i just couldn't listen to them anymore

add to that them being really heavy and physically uncomfortable and them having zero isolation and i was glad to get rid of them

I know I'm digging up an old thread, but I just wanted to say thanks for the advice. I ditched the Grados and bought the BeyerDynamic DT880 Pro. Now I can actually hear everything because I don't have to turn everything down to save my ears from the treble.
