I owned some Grado SR-60s a few years ago and the earpads were very scratchy.  I think I recall you could mod or replace the stock pads on models like the 60 and 80.  Can you recommend any replacement pads for the 80e's?

Prices range from 249.00/pair to 380.00/pair.  Using a Marantz PM6005 integrated amp to power.  Low volumes. Small room.  Mostly classical, jazz, vocal music some others.

I need help picking which one to buy.  Can get the 10.1 Diamonds now at 249.00 pair, the others go up to 380.00 pair for the Monitor Audios.  Powering with a Marantz PM6005 integrated amp.

I have an Onkyo TX-8255 receiver.  It's currently powering two Fluance SX-6 speakers nicely but I want to upgrade a bit.  Those speakers mentioned all sell between $250 and $300 a pair.  Any suggestions or recommendations?

How well would these reproduce classical music?  Soundstage, etc?

The Philips is going for around 50 to 60 dollars and gets very good reviews.  The Beyer DT990s sell around 110 to 150.  The 32ohm DT990 is almost 150 new.  Would the sound be that much better on the Beyerdynamic than the Philips?  Both are open air headphones, the Philips has replaceable cables...

I am open to any type open, semi-open, or closed.  Looking for mostly classical music, orchestral,solo violin/cello, not so much vocals though I do enjoy vocals in other genre.  Would prefer 3.5mm jack with 6.35mm adapter.  Street price under $100.  Suggestions?

I am thinking I might be able to turn up the volume so basically they would/could work and with an amp would sound much better, but is an amp absolutely necessary for earphones with 64ohm impedence.?

Hi everyone,   I prefer open headphones but in my home now I need closed.  I know some of that type can have great definition, soundstages, etc.  I don't think they will ever sound like open cans but that is what I need now.   I will be plugging in equally to iPhone 5s and Onkyo stereo amp...

I love my 558s but need something closed, over ear, and comparable (if possible) soundstage and signature that can be found under $100.  I paid $63 for my refurb 558s.  What closed phones would maybe sound as good in that price range?

I can pick up refurb of the Senns or new of the Philips phones.  I've heard the Senns and do like the sound.  Have not heard the Philips.  I also will be using a stereo receiver with 1/4" plug so the Senns would also not need an adapter (which I'd rather not have to use).  I think the Senns have...

I am in need of maybe a small T amp preferably 50w channel to power some Fluance bookshelf speakers off a pc output.  I did have nice amp (tiny) by SMSL but didnt have a jack for headphones.  Found one on Amazon called Sound Appeal T100 for around $80 with same power and both 3.5mm input for...

I know tech changes, and $ are hard targets to hit.  Looking to run some phones off reg Onkyo amplifier, playing mostly classical and other stuff hi-res audio.  Looking for separation, soundstage, accuracy.  I know that $ will not buy $500 quality.  Beyerdynamic, AKG, Grado, Takstar, Sennheiser...
