Looking for something that does it for me in the Rock and Pop department. But i'm torn between the horrendously ugly RS-2 from Grado and the Not so ugly but flimsy AKG-701 (over priced over here tho)
Reason : Well, even with an Amp the HD650s sound abit too suited for anything besides Classical tunes, which i love ofcourse. But who doesn't love the dirty sounds of badly recorded Jpop once in awhile eh?
So, i'm really torn between the both, although the main reason i'm shying away from the AKG is the insane price over here, about 2900 ringgit and it seems flimsy, i'm not a small or careful person at that

too. By my estimate the grado RS-2 should be far more expensive and the 325I be in the AKG 701 price range, but this is KL, it's all screwed up.
So just give your honest opinions and reason on which i should get, and thanks for any advice.
EDIT: I don't mind any other recommendations as long as they're sound.
701 so pricey meh? asiasound quote me rm2k++, anyway still is very the expensive here.
My previos experience with grado sr60, no doubt grado quite suit rock/pop coz the sound is foward and in the face and make you tap into the music.
The best thing is try them out, anyway AFAIK 325i and RS2 not always in stock in music by design and 701 now is in stock with asiasound.
