Hi Guys,

I can get a headphone from US in coming 1-2 months and going by price differenence there is at the max 2k difference in Indian and USA pricing (sans the warranty ) . So what i thought would be best get a brand not available right now in India . I have tried a AD700/Denon D1100 as of now . I would like to try different signatures .

So what i decided was to buy a Grado SR 80/125/225i (which one of the following is best vfm ) from the US . And get myself a Sennheiser HD 558/598(again VFM wont mind minute difference) from India . Are the sound signatures similar of both these headphones . So should i go for a M50 & a Grado combo or a HD558 & grado combo .

Really confused would be great if some one helps me out :)
