Hello,   Has anyone found any more comfortable pads then the pleather ones that currently come on these HP's? A cloth or velour might be better.   Thanks!

I have been torn the past year if I should cave into the upgradeitis and jump from my sr80's (non-i version) to a new pair of Sr225i's. Mostly because of all the comments from the Grado shrill and everyone saying that as you spend more money in the Grado line, you don't get the value. Well, I...

In previous threads this has been answered. Will E6 beat the E11? No. But I want to know the details why. (maybe ClieOS could answer) Here are some advantages I already know about: 1. A removable/spare battery 2. More powerful: output of E11 could be 300mW where the E6 150mW. 3. The volume...

Hello. I current have AT M-50's and Grado SR-80. The M-50's are more what I want out of a heaphone, closed, lots of bass. I have a large head. After a while they heat up a bit and quite frankly I would rather wear my Grados for the comfort. However, they leak too much and a little bright. I am...

I just wanted to ask a simple question. I am curious but don't want to have to read a 30 page technical document on impedance.... Thanks   Why is it that my Grado SR-80's have to be on volume 40 and my AT M50's sound the same at volume 25?  Per specs Grado's impedance: 32 ohms and M50's...

Hello,   Here are the boxes from 2 M50's I purchased from reputable dealers. The one on the left was bought 10/09 and the one on the right last week 03/11. I am still burning in the new pair, but both sound great. I am pretty sure they are real, just wondering if someone can confirm this? I...

I have had my Sony V6's for 20 years. Not bad, a little harsh on the highs and muddy, so adjusted with EQ. They are ok... I didn't know any better, I also had the Sony 600's and they were crap. Gave them away....   I went down to the local audio store 2 years ago and they convinced me to get...

I know this might be a dumb question, but I know I am not the only one that has thought it before. I have the original Grado SR-80's and here are the pads that seem to be an option from Grado: S-cushion L-cushion (bowls that came with mine) Comfort Rings G-cushion   Where I get confused...

Hi All,   Do you think I am crazy that my Sony V6 with Fiio E5 amp sound about the same as my Audio Technica M50's?    Serious, it is hard to tell which ones I have on and the older V6's are super comfy....

Hi, I have got cans Audio Technica M50 and AD700. I plugged them into my portable device Cowon D2+, they sound rich and wonderful. Then I played the same flac on my computer, sounded terrible. I am using on board sound, wondered if someone could suggest a nice sound card about $100. It...

Cans I have now: Sony V6 Grado SR80 Audio Technica ATH-AD700 However, I want another closed can in the $120 price range. Amazon selling: Audio Technica A700 $112.95 Audio Technica ATH-M50 $121.46 Most of the reviews say M50 is just slightly better than the A700. I have a huge...

I have the following phones for these reasons: 1. Sony V-6 (closed) I use these because they are closed and comfy, the old standbys on my PC. Had these 20 years and got new pads, brand new again. Use on cowon D2 when my wife is at her computer next to me. 2. Grado Sr80 (open) Very bright, in...

Hi, This has probably been asked before, but would I benefit from an amp like the FiOS E5 in my situation? The reason I ask is I have to turn the volume 80% most of the time on my Creative zen. mp3gained 92.0 db. I suppose I could bump that to 95-96 db, but then more and more clipping occurs...

Hello all, want to start off by saying how much I absolutely love this site. I have had Sony V6's for years and years. For Christmas, got some Grado SR80's. I am using a Creative Zen, have a Cowon D2 coming in the mail. I thought about getting an amp, but honestly, even the cheapy E5 seems like...
