Grado RS1/RS2's. I loved them but decided to try other cans, now that I'm more into speakers I dont think I'll buy a pair of headphones at that price again

It's funny to me that I hear that same story from so many people; How someone "starts" with headphones and ends up "getting into speakers" later on.

 

My experience was quite the opposite.  Being a Home Theater fan and a bedroom beat-maker, I've always liked and owned nice speaker equipment.  But, there is something about the detail, separation and placement with headphones that is lost for me with speakers.  I do like the soundstage of speakers better, but I will admit that I enjoy the constant search for the holy grail of headphone equipment that will try and match that.

Mine too...I sold them to fund my HD800s.

 

About 3 months later I ended buying the RS1i from Moon Audio. Why...there's always room for a set of Grado's in ones collection.

That's the logic I'll be using when I finally purchase the 325is.

K271 for me. I have two awesome and complementary mid-fi rigs with the HD600/Lambda Pros (which I funded through selling the AKGs), but there are some tracks that just sounded perfect on the K271 that I can't replicate on either.

Coming back to my original post... I regretted selling my Ultrasone Pro 650s so much I just purchased a pair of Pro 750s to replace them.  I'm happy again. gs1000.gif

I most regret GIVING AWAY my Yamaha YH-1 orthodynamics.  The fellow I gave them to modded them to jaw-dropping performance levels.  I could have done the mods myself, and had (finally!) a dynamic headphone worthy of my 'stat.  Ah, well...

My HE-5/ EF-5 combo. They were great, but i had a knee jerk reaction when all the stories came out about how fragile they were. I figured let me sell them before they depreciate too much. Silly me!

I couldn't live without my HD600s (figuratively of course).

 

How do the 650s compare with your 800s?

My Sennheiser HD-595s. Bought them around 4 or 5 years ago for what was, then, the amazing price of $179. Only had them for a while before deciding I didn't care enough to actually enjoy them, so I sold them on eBay for an appalling $100 thanks to the fact that I never put a reserve on the auction.
