How's the base response? I bought a pair of $150.00 Seinhiezers(sp), and they were great for music listening but sounded terribly muffled and 'canned' for MOHAA/SH gaming (as well as many other games I tried).

I like the price of the Grado's, very affordable. I'm gonna see if I can find a pair here locally in Atlanta.

Thank you for adding to this thread.

Bass response is really good, not muffled at all. Zero distortion. Same with highs, crisp and clean. Only thing that sucks (sort of) is that there's no volume control on the headphones, so everything is done through the game (or control panel). Not a big deal, really.

I've yet to read a negative review of Grado headphones. The only thing people bitch about is the comfort level, which i noticed after about an hour the first time i used them. Adjusted the headband (stretched it out a bit) and now no problems at all.

I know i sound like an infomercial, but damn, these headphones truly are great. :P

p.s. check your local high-end audio stores. Best Buy and other chains like that most likely don't carry them.
