So today, I brought my 7506’s to work, I wasn’t going to bring these.. but it’s hard to listen to my PX all day after listening to these. As everyone knows, Grado’s aren’t notoriously comfortable, so I guess I haven’t really been inclined to reach for them except when I’m looking for “extreme detail”. I have to admit, these 7506 are really comfortable.. I read that it’s geared for smaller ears (+1 for being asian!) and I’m really taking to their non-intensity.. its making listening to music much less “fatiguing”

It’s like the difference between sitting on the edge of your chair and feeling the heat of the music on your face.. and just leaning back in some deep cushy sofa and just enjoying the “smoothness”.. the closed helps the silkiness since you really don’t have external air noise or anything.

At low volumes, the flatness is more evident. Listening to Wicked right now, it was at fairly low, non-intrusive volume when it came on and I noticed that it felt pretty “distant”. BUT.. I found when I cranked up the volume.. you can really get that “in your face” brightness without it kicking your eardrums over and curb-stomping them (Gears of War reference) with the overall volume level.

Mm.. definitely a good buy. Makes me want a pair for work all the time =(. I like how they’re full size cans too, without being overall ridiculously huge.
