Ah, yes, Grado is an american company (*), so no wonder they're more
expensive across the pond.
I betcha you guys are getting the Sennheiser and the Beyerdynamic
cheaper in Europe. ;-)
(*) - They're actually a mom-and-pop micro-company with an interesting
history. They manufacture the cans in their basement in Brooklyn (or
used to).

Prices vary from country to country, these are about $150 in the UK. Anyone have opinions on the Grado SR60?
Excellent phones in the $50-$100 range. No, they don't compare with the
$300+ superstars, but then you get what you pay for and, in the case of
SR60, a bit more than what you pay. For only slightly more you can get Beyer DT250's
here - what I use for
debugging and late night mixing, bought more for the indestructability,
but they seem pretty accurate too.
<nod> I'm not sure what's the reason, but the germans seem to know what
it takes to make good cans.
