** Introduction **
A few months ago I had one of the best experiences of my life. I went on holiday to Malta! So what? A lot of people might say. Well the 'So what?' is that it was my first holiday abroad. (Gasp!) Yes, it was the first time on a plane and the first time in real sunshine! It took 23 years, but I got there! I don't know what took me so long now I think about it. The fact my parents have never been abroad is probably a big factor, but at the same time it gave me the inspiration to want to experience new things. Now I most definitely have the travel bug! I travelled in early August last year (2008) but I must say, considering we were novices, the hotel we picked wasn't bad at all. Here is my review of the Il Palazzin Hotel, Malta.
I have also added pictures so you can have a look for yourself!

Film only review.
Il Postino (1994)
Director: Michael Radford
Stars: Philippe Noiret, Massimo Troisi, Maria Grazia Cucinotta
Not to be confused with the wholly inferior Kevin Costner vehicle with the same name (Il Postino means "The Postman" - US title), this charming Italian language film won an Academy Award for Original Music Score and was nominated for five other awards including Best Director, Best Actor (Massimo Troisi) and Best Picture.

Neruda (1904-1973), known as el poeta del amor (the poet of love), famed for his beautiful love poetry, and was also famous for his political poetry and activism ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Il Postino (DVD)
Advantages: Good sound, long lead, mini-jack and 1/4 inch jack provided. Disadvantages: Some may find the 'on ear' fit difficult at first.
In the interests of disclosure, I used to sell these products!
These are great headphones with Grado's unique vintage styling. These are the second headphone up the range and a clearly noticable improvement from the entry level (they use better wiring & technically superior, closer matched drivers). The jump up to the next headphone in the series (SR125) does not give anywhere near the same return for your money as the jump from SR60 to SR80. So in this respect at least, the extra money is well worth it. (I always felt that you needed to jump up 2 models above the SR80 to get a similar jump in quality).
They have a long lead as standard and come with mini-jack plug (for portable kit) and an adaptor to fit standard 1/4 inch jacks on Hi-Fi kit.
So what do they do well? Good bass extension, good detail in the mid range and nicely ...
