Spent 40 mins last friday listening to Audeze, Sennheiser and AKG702. Time really flew and I don't think 40minutes was nearly enough but so far the Audeze seems like a winner to me. AKG sounded so lacking low frequency responce, the senns was very comfortable but less bottom and s-sounds a bit...

Hi     How long to break-in GS1000i?   Thanks   Jay    

Hi     Recommendations appreciated   Jay

I just purchased (second hand) some lovely GS1000's. I have a Little Dot MK/II headphone amp, and am wondering if it will drag the GS's down or not, the reviews for the MK/II were very, very good for the price and have worked well with my AKG K701's thus far. Thoughts...

I am really enjoying my Balanced GS1000 with 325 bowl pad and IPod classic>CLAS>DB2>SR-71B. I have been listening to Dave Matthews and Alter Bridge. Sounds very good to my ears. I was not enjoying the headphone with the stock bowls.

Howdy all, I've never thought of replacing my headphones cabling, but it's starting to get pretty damaged around the junctions etc... I've seen lots of arguments for / against cable mods, I don't really have an opnion either way, I just want something decent to replace the stock with. What...

I am looking to buy some high-end closed back headphones so that I don't annoy my partner when listening to music in the same room as her. I currently have Grado GS-1000's, and like their sound, is there anything closed that can rival or even better these? At work / traveling around I use Sen...

Hey head-fi forumgoers,    I have a bit of a choice on my hands. I'll be graduating college soon and as a graduation gift I want to get (of course) some audio equipment. I think the budget is around $1000.    Right now my top pick is the Grado GS 1000i. However, if I went with something...

I've begun flirting with the idea of re-cabling my Grado gs1000. Anyone with any opinions on the Black Dragon cable? Would love to hear from someone who has directly compared the stock and the upgrade. Would super love to hear from someone who began with stock and then went for the re-cabling...

Aside from Stax, HD800, T1, & Audeze LCDx what else are on the market if you own those already?

My current rig is the Little Dot Mk III+ paired with Grado RS-2i cans. Yet recently I have read that output impedance will matter to the headphones being driven, so I'm already wondering if the Little Dot is what I need for these. I like the sound of the tubes I installed (Mullard CV4010), but I...

List some headphones that can be considered ugly/strange/funny looking but actually have a very good sound

Okay, so I just got a pretty sweet deal on a pair of used GS-1000s. I currently own a pair of heavily modded SR60s, which I adore, and I've been trying to keep the upgradeitis away for some time, but recently it's been hitting me hard. I am aware that the GS-1000 is an entirely different beast...

Hi guys, I've been lurking here for a while and was looking to get your advice on my next set of headphones, Currently listen to a W5000(most stuff) or DT250 80Ohm(rap & rnb) and was looking for a new set of headphones to either complement or replace what I have, Currently using a NFB10-SE...

After reading countless posts, I bit the bullet and I got the K550 this weekend.  For the most part I like them. Though, there are some issues that I have with them and now I don't know if I should return the K550 and get the D600 (or something completely different).     I got the K550...

Setup is AKG K701's and Asus Xonar STX. Listen to metal, thrash metal and similar.   After owning the 701's for over 2 years Ive recently found myself thinking something is missing in the mid range - guitar work seems pretty 'far back' and not in your face like they are with some cans or...

Seen a few threads in FS section but dont know what I should expect to pay for a pair. They vary in price.

What I'm looking for a is a minimalistic type of headphone.  The kind like Grado, Urbanears Plattan, HifiMan HE-xxx, ES7, ES10, something along these lines.     I was about to take the plunge on the Grado, but then I found out they use foam pads.  I'm looking for some sort of isolation...

I've just had the idea of gluing them together, where the stock pads will be on top of the gs1000 pads....   has anyone tried this before? any impressions?

I have a couple of questions for the Grado Junkies.   Is there anyway that anybody has listened to every one of them , or at least like 5 different ones...post some comments here about what you liked and what seemed to be the best bang for the buck and so forth...interested in as much info...

These things are so heavy.  Its like no matter what I do, I miss my r2i's more and more everyday.  Id listen to music and forget i had them on!  But with the lcd-2's, jeez how could i forget?  They make my ears sweat, they are kinda embarrassing at a coffee shop...   My complaints have nothing...

I just get into these headphone things, wondering where is the good place to try and buy headphones for beginner in London????

I've read so much positive reviews about this headphone getting editors choice awards among many regarded hi-fi magazine sites on the net. My question is if these would be a "significant" downgrade comparing to Shure SRH-940 which are my current headphones. My setup consists of ARCAM-rPAC...

Currently looking to make a new setup for myself here soon and looking to get myself some new headphones shortly after and looking for something new to listen to. I will most likely be buying Littledot MKIII for my amp and a Littledot DAC I. I currently have some Grado 325i that I absolutely...
