Good value Grado SR80'esque alternatives?

Something Grado like in style but cheaper is the order of the day

Many thanks for any pointers.

Koss Porta Pro for £25 odd? Not so much in Grado style, but the AKG Y50 are unbeatable for £50.

Ooh, the Porta Pro looks very cool retro.... BUT....

I got a pair of Y50's for £29 :eek:

Also, not sure how the Portas would fair when outdoors with traffic etc.

Not that well, because they don't seal ear from outside noises.
(just like that Grado)
