Anybody else think Grado headphones look BOSS? - Page 2

headphile c-pads = a wooden adapter that fits beyerdynamic dt770 pads on the grado SR series cans.

they are super comfy, albeit a bit expensive.

i found a used pair and won't listen to my grado's without them.

$245. Only way I'd do that is if I had Magnum's.. Well, I guess I could get some Magnums. But jeez $245?? Also, wouldn't that mean I would have to buy my wood cups from Headphile?

I love the look of the wooden Grados, with the exception of the, "yokes," sticking out of the headband.

 

Grado style is my favourite, especially the customs. Very happy with my Magnums.

Beautiful, cups from Headphonelounge?

Yes, this is Jinteddy's build that was on the photo page of the manta headbands. I since recabled and added the gimbals :)

Nice!

MS1 uses a tuned driver from the SR125i. They sound more neutral than the typical Prestige series Grado, ostentatiously designed for producing music. MS2 and MS Pro are based on the same principle - they use tuned drivers from the SR325i and presumably from the RS1.

 

This is true. But they still do not sound anywhere near neutral though.

Love the Grado's utilitarian, retro, cool design. It's the everyman phone. Neutrality! Who needs it when you're listening to a headphone that's delivering musical thrills and chills in spades? I have ample time to be bored.  

If the HF2 didn't have the thick hose cable it would be the best transportable headphone there is. It's easy to drive, looks like a million bucks but it's still discrete - it doesn't make you look like a dork, it's comfortable when you bend the headband right and the pads soften a bit. You can easily get a good case for it too.

Hate the look, love the feel and sound.  Well, maybe just the sound ... 

i like the sound of them and how they look on my neck, but they stick out like to wierd contraptions on my head when i wear them....

(i want that golden SR325i so bad...!)

Does anyone know if Headphile's regular cups can fit magnum drivers?

 

Will they actually sell you the headband alone?

 

My memory sucks and I could be wrong but I remember years ago a few people wanted to do that but couldn't purchase the headband. Grado wanted the better headband only on their top tier headphones.

 

 

The Alessandro line up is a bit more neutral. My MS1s were the best headphones I ever owned and I might order another pair in the near future.

 

 

Stunningly beautiful.

 

Love the look and the sound but hate the feel. My MS1s sounded amazing and the retro look was great but they were so flimsy. I really wish the construction but better...
