Grado SR80i - Treble so harsh my ears bleed

[plastic penguin]

Well I have the same Grado sr 80i but my ears hurts because of the thight desgin, the pads are pushing my ears to bleeding :wall:.

So the Grado needs to go, but what is a good alternative? I want to use it with spotify only on my Imac or iPhone at home, because when I am outside I have the Senn px200.

So my question:

What is a good alternative for the Grado S80i, I don't use an amp or dac but I am willing to pay more for better sound and better comfort.

Look at Goldring, Sennheisers... should be slightly less revealing but more sonically manageable.

I am going to open a new topic, because I don't want to poison this one.

I have a Moon 100d dac which I do not use anymore because I only use my dedicated cd player in my stereo room.

So maybe I can buy a more high end setup with a good headphone amp, headphone together with my Moon 100d dac + iMac (apples lossless)
