Thanks for your feedback @Ste_S and @JB !

Remember not really enjoying Grado last time I heard them (friends' SR60's) but will try again when I have the chance.
Regarding Sennheiser I wonder how much of an mprovement in sound quality the 560S would actually be over the HD25's. Will try to have a listen to one of those as well 👍

Any love for AKG in this thread?

Very different listen. Bear in mind HD25s are monitoring headphones and they're OLD. Headphone technology and drivers have come a long way since the last update to HD25s. Think they'll be much comfier too. I should've said, I assume these are for at home use. They're not applicable for use in public/in an office.

Yes - just home use, need to be moving around a lot though, so would be good if they're not too heavy and sit on the head well.
Long story short I'll need to try the HD 560S in person, they seem a bit heavy and look like they're made more for sitting still.
