They do rave about the Grado over there and I can't really imagine why. When I picked it up I was worried about accidentally cracking it between my fingers.
The sound was rough and unimpressive. Granted I didn't tinker with the settings on my player but the SRH440 stood out using the same settings.
Head-fi can help you narrow down your search. You should always try to test out headphones before buying them...if it's at all possible. Not every city has a place like Bay Bloor Radio with a wall of headphones set up for you to try.
ALSO...if you never use headphones than maybe you shouldn't buy headphones...at least nothing beyond 50$.
