Anybody still listen to Yuin earbuds ? (They were in discussion here more than a decade ago... but I've been out of the audiophile circuit for a while..) I have a pair of PK3's that I still use and enjoy and was wondering if earbud tech has changed since then (2007 ?) lol, would anyone be able...

Maybe try out a pair of Sony MDR 1-AM2 ? Or maybe even a pair of Grado's? (I consider them "fun" and bright..)

I'm rocking the stock pads. I tried the bowl pads and hated them, they seem to improved some soundstage but reduced the bass as well. I think im in a bit of an audio crisis... contemplating now whether the rs1i's are for me. (Been eyeing rs2's for some time now) ... not to mention some sony's...

Thank you, I really appreciate the reply and your opinion. I'll check them out. Ps., I've been researching all the while, and came across this; https://geshelli.com/archel2-5-pro How would you compare that as a pairing for the Grado RS1i ?

I'm simply asking for opinions from people that potentially have experience with the Grado sound signature (specifically the RS1i model headphones) because I've only ever heard them with one amp (the Matrix that i owned) and it didn't quite "impress" me as much as a 1970's stereo receiver once...

Hey thank you for the recommendation. I used to have a Matrix M Stage Amp : https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/matrix-m-stage.12045/ How would the thx amp be different in "sound" ? Aside from the upgraded connectivity features , can you tell me why it would be better than my old amp ? Thanks...

Looking for an amp for my Grado RS1i headphones, any recommendations would be welcomed. (Not interested in the Grado RA1 amp btw) Budget is up to 400$ Thank you

I have the 600 Ohm version of the DT 990's and have paired it with a "Matrix M - Stage" amplifier and use a Dragonfly USB DAC. Maybe look into the Matrix M Stage amps? They've upgraded their equipment substantially from the original version when I bought it back in the day.

I think I enjoy "V" shaped signatures ? (But I'm really not sure) I own the following: -Grado RS1i -Beyerdynamic DT 990 (600 Ohm) -JVC HA-FX850 -CCA C16 -Apple EarPods I use to own a pair of Stax Lambda Nova Basic's and really miss their sound. I've been finding myself coming back to and...

Anyone have any recommendations?

Oh, I don't have a preference really. Just something that's positively reviewed.

Looking for something in the budget range. Preferably something in sound signature that equals to bass forward or flat.. Will be using an Iphone 8 and Macbook with them. Sound isolating would be preferred, if possible, noise cancelling. Any recommendations referencing these specs would be...

Does anyone ever miss the gear they've sold ? I was thinking about how I miss my old Shure Triple Fi's (funny thing is I can't remember if I sold them or not...) I upgraded and have been using my JVC HA FX 850s for a long time now and love the sound but sometimes I wish I could remember the...

I want to use it to rewire some earbuds This is what it says on the cable: " 22AWG AOC 5337936 300V 80(degrees Celsius) FT1 LF VW-1 1007" Thank you

So i bought a cable off some dude on kijiji (like a local ebay thing) for 50bucks. He advertised it as "Silver Platinum Earphone Cable" (it was an mmcx cable that I was looking for) Meant to replace the stock cable on my JVC HA FX 850 . It sounds "alright". Nothing like "woaahh this is so...

Thank you Will, May I ask, do you have any experience with these cables / companies? As I have never heard of them before either.

My budget is around 155 USD (more or less). As for sound signature , I enjoy more of an enhanced soundstage and highs (kind of like a grado headphone mixed with an audio technica AD900 ? if you can imagine that?) So, my focus is on the highs, soundstage and some good bass (but not overbearing...

Hello, I appreciate your response (as it seems not many people are familiar with these iem's or willing to offer any recommendations), but which cable from all these companies?? (That was my original question, to find a specific cable that pairs nicely with these iem's).

Hello , I'm looking for a cable recommendation over the stock one (died) that came with these IEM's. These IEM's were an upgrade from my Sure Triple Fi 10's and I have been enjoying them very much. can someone please direct me to a nice mmcx cable that pairs nicely with these ? (I already...

Hello, Does anyone know what the recent news is on "TheCablePro" company? Also, if Ted Paisley is doing well? Last I read (mid 2017) he wasn't doing well. Is there any news? I hope all is well.

I bought the third party replacement cushions for around $8 , so I'm not too disappointed in this case. Unfortunately it has been a year since I've bought them and cannot return them. I will most likely be buying from Grado's official store in the future... (P.s I started to notice the...

They're third party. To be specific, these are exactly the ones: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Replacement-Grado-Headphone-L-Cushion-Fits-Grado-225i-225e-325is-325e-RS2i-RS1i-/332133863897?hash=item4d54b891d9:g:hKEAAOSwEK9W~o0C

The cushions were bought brand new and came sealed in plastic bags. I have kept them properly stored and they haven't been misused. Also, I doubt Grado uses some sort of "special" foam different from these replacement ones. How much variation of the material makeup within the "headphone...

Hello, I have noticed that these new replacement Grado cushions that I ordered from eBay (they look and feel exactly the same as the originals) crumble and degrade very quickly. I can feel them crumbling between my fingers as I touch them and when I take them off my head they leave residue...
