This man speaks the truth.

Grados are terrible for anything other than a quiet room, I missed the travel part.

Either the 60's or the 80's. Both sound amazing.

Do you know who sells these in Vancouver? Or is it best to buy them online?

Downtown. Bring something to listen to and try out a bunch of what they've got there.

Preferably a discman with a bought CD.

Edit:

I'm sure Tom Lee/Long and McQuade can also bring them in… Though L[HTML_REMOVED]M[HTML_REMOVED]Tom Lee, so go there first.

Actually I'd say skip the discman (unless thats the only device you plan on using them witth) and use one of their stereos. Some high-end headphones have high impedance and a portable player can't properly drive them.

If you can't drive it with your discman, it's probably not the best for travel…

Tons of people I talked to said anything portable won't drive sr80's very well… They work amazing on my iPod…

Unless you're buying studio cans, they should be fine…
