First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...

This quick review is done after a few hours of listening. I bought them from B&H for the decent sum of 150$. If you've done your research you'll find out that Ultrasone HPs are known for their...

Reviewed by kstuart

I auditioned the SRH-1840 straight out of the box, and was unsatisfied with the sound, so I decided to give them a period of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite differences...

Yea... And look at my comments on how the mods changed the overall sound and tell me if you agree... I have heard some people say that the RX700's can sound quite similar to MS1's if they have been modded well...

Which gave me an idea for a new project! I thought about buying some grados HP's, like maybe the 60i's and putting the driver inside of the Takstar 2050 enclosure, since the Takstars can be had for around $30, and the enclosure and pads alone seem to be worth much more than the retail price and are of good quality...

What do you think about doing a mod like that?

Would it be worth trying?

What size are the Grado drivers and at what point in the line-up do they actually improve the drivers? Or does every Grado HP have a different driver?
