I'm a big huge fan of Grado headphones and don't personally find them uncomfortable--actually, the SR60s with the full foam cups are the most comfy Grados I've tried. They're a bit forward, but they are clean and resolving enough that I take the tradeoff.
The problem with the Grados is they're the anti-noise cancelling headphone. They're open-ear so they will throw a small amount of sound out and around you, while letting some sound in. I like them on trains and planes because the environment is usually noisy enough that you won't bug anyone with them, and you can still hear a steward/ess approaching as long as you're not rockin' out too much.
Let us know how the Maxells work out. The price is certainly right!
