Tne grado are Ok but not known for comfort. I think Abe first you need to decide a budget and if you want an open or closed can. The Grado are open and are good rock cans. The 280 is closed. If you looking in the 99.00 range for closed I would check out Shure SRH 440 and also if you like warm and want a portable phone the Creative Aurvana Live is about 70.00 closed and portable uses Fostex drivers and can be bought on Amazon for 60-70.00 pair and are outstanding and portable cans. The comfort on the Creative would be excellent as they really are the same phones as the Denon 1001. In the open arena and ipod friendly would be a grado more suited for all music would be the Shure or the Creative.
