They are comfortable yes, but IMO they are built very cheaply, and are super flimsy.

You will most likely have to be careful with them.

 

Another option would be the HD518, it's more durable IMO.

The GRADO's headphones are realy good. They are entry level hifi headphones. And yes they are cheaply build, but that money has been put in the improvement of the sound quality. Trust me, my dad sells these things in his own hifi store :)

The 518 are $79 on amazon, from what I saw the SR80E is $99?

The 518 are more of a balanced sound than the SR80E.  If you want a bit of bass, the SR80E have almost zero bass under 90 hz.

 

IMO the 518 are a better all-around headphone.

 

 

Here's how they perform against eachother in terms of frequency response.  The lines indicate how loud each frequency is relative to the other frequencies.  

 

From the chart, you can see the SR80 has a LOT of treble compared to the 518.
