you dont need a very expensive shock mount, if you find a cheap one, go for it. but just be careful not to bump your desk/mic when recording. Also, what mic do you have?

Well, none of my friends has one (or any pair of GOOD headphones) ... stores dont have grado, but he does know hes getting a pair of headphones.

Well, you see , there`s no one in here that imports grado`s... but thanks for the advice!

Something significant , not that I know about. But he does listen to mostly vocal music (david broza, cat stevens, mercedes sosa) so I guess that something with more defined mid highs would be good for him.

Hey, my dad`s birthday is coming up soon and I`m going to buy him a pair of good headphones. I want to give him the best listening experience (we have very good amp/reciver already, so stuff like impdence or power wont be a problem). I`m looking for something in the range of 100-150$, 200$ if they (say amazon) ship to Israel. Any recommendations? I`ve already looked at the HD598, or the ATH-M50X, but I just want to hear opinions. Thanks alot in advence for helping!
