And there's the rule proven right there -- I couldn't hear enough of a difference between the SR60s and SR80s to justify the price difference. The 120s were audibly better, and the RS1s better still (and at that price, they ought to be). My only use for 'phones, though, is in places I can't control (their complete lack of soundstage drains the enjoyment out of a good recording for me when actively listening) and there is no substitute for in-ear monitors for killing interference. At home, it's speakers (I don't need loud, just a sufficiently low noise floor).

Hah, fair enough. I'm actually not sure I can tell the difference between the SR60s and 80s, but the price difference was small enough (US$20) that I didn't spend a lot of effort trying to tell. The SR-125s were another $50 above that, which was worth some effort, and at least in my listening I wasn't sure I could tell the difference, so I stuck with the 80s. Possibly I could've just stuck with the 60s!
