anyone use them ?
and how comfortable are they ?
I've read they sound brilliant
but are maybe not so well padded for optimum user comfort ?????

My current set of closed-back audio technicas, which I've been using for a decade,
start to get uncomfortable and pinch my earlobes and the top of my ears
after about half way through a CD's listening.

I'm particularly interested in the mid range,
but still quite expensive, Grado SR225 & Grado SR325i.

thanks
