If I had to get a new set of phones, I&#8217;d probably go out and buy the same damn pair.

The iGrado phones come in either black or white and are behind-the-head style, so you don&#8217;t mess up that anime hair that you spent 45 minutes and a small fortune in sculpting putty on. The good news in all this comestic &#8220;i&#8221; surgery is that the iGrados only cost US$49 and they have the same drivers in them as the venerable SR60s. <\/p>\n<p> Oh, BTW, the SR60s cost $69, the same price they did in 1998.
