I usually buy from headphone.com or headphonesolutions.com, or ebay, or craigslist.

i use the Sennheiser HD25II's which are off the hook but i think they might be too high. the grado's should sound real nice, also as cliche as it might seem the new dre headphones sound pretty damn good

The sony mdrv6s or v7s are much better cans than the hd280s. Having owned both, it wasnt close. The sonys are very flat, and have great bass response aswell. They are also very comfortable.

I didnt say anything about the v700. Im speaking about the sony mdrv6, and the mdrv7506. These arent dj headphones fyi. They are Studio monitors, and are very flat, unlike the dj models you speak of. the v6s, and the 7506s are the same. owned both
