Anyone else got sort of metallic or maybe hard plastic click/pop-sounds from your PS-1000s when you move them around?   Can't say exactly where it comes from but it's not in the sound. It's from the actual headphone. Maybe the cups or the headband.   It pops quite frequently when I put...

makes it sense to change the original cable for PS1000 to achieve better SQ ? which you prefer ? please help. thanks   is it worth to buy JMoney Headband for PS1000 ? Anybody attached the PS1000 with the dark brown color ? Please post pictures ! Thank you

 Hi folks. I'm new to this forum. I recently took the plunge and purchased Grado PS-1000 headphones, Beyer Dynamic A1 Amp. My receiver is a Yamaha RX- A3000. What is the best way to connect the Amp to my receiver?     Thanks for your help.       Michelle

Hi, I'm new to Headfi and I'm wondering if anyone has seen the new September issue of What Hi Fi?   It's cover story is a fairly large survey of headphones. Most Headfi favorites are missing:No orthos,no hd800,no stax etc....   Grado ps 1000 is their top choice.   Should we take...

Hi, yesterday i went in the local Hi-Fi store in my hometown, and looking for some grad SR225i, the seller (that is a friend of mine) offered me the next level in the prestige series: SR325i (about 300 $) But is there any differences between the SR325iS?  Yes, i googled and i found that...

Cord is shorting again so I want to get a new pair of headphones to replace these. I've had these for about 5 years. Before them I had the hd-580s which were nice.   I will mostly use them for PC gaming and listening to music via the PC. I have an XFI soundcard (might get a new, better...

REVIEW: Grado Statement 1000 Headphones The excitement of a new top-shelf product is rarely without some form of controversy. The sceptics and critics will crawl out of the woodwork to dispute the claims of the “fanboys” and enthusiastic early adopters. When the product is a Grado, at least...

I heard they have really good sound quality but they are uncomfortable. IF I do end up buying them are there any recommended accessories to make them better? Like the Sennheiser HD414 earpads and the Sennheiser 580 pad to make it more comfortable? 

Dear forum,       I need a pair of decent quality headphones, but the most I'm able to spend at the moment is anything between $100-$250.  Any more than that and my girlfriend would kill me lol.  I'd also like to know about headphone amps too and whether or not they'd be required for...

Just yesterday, I spend over 2 hours with PS1000 and HD800 as comparison partner.  My dealer did order the demo model, which was totally beat up by the way, but may burned enough as well, so, the alu look didn’t show me the best, but do they show me the sound?   In one word, YES.  ...

Hi. I'm planning to purchase a pair of high-end headphones ($1000+) for a road trip, and I need it soon. I have read about various models but haven't been able to0 decide. I am hoping the folks here could recommend something.   This will be my first pair of headphones, as I usually listen to...

So my boyfriend is celebrating his 28th birthday in a few weeks (three to be exact) and we're both in our 20's and we love music, especially him. So instead of getting him what people traditionally get music lovers (set of drums, guitar, etc), I've decided I wanted to go a different route and...

it seems they are no longer liked very much. i remember when they were like the ultimate fotm. people could not wait to get them. i wonder what happened to zanth. if you are around zanth, do you still love them? i still love mine. for more reasons then the sound even. i am proud of what grado...

Time for a new thread about this.;)   I am planning to upgrade my headphone setup and go for a solution based on Musical Fidelity M1HPA and M1DAC (or VDAC) together with a new pair of headphones. My original plan was to keep my RS-2s but when I made a long listening test (as a part of the...

what would be better for classical + rock music? what amps + DAC setups would be good for each one?   thank you!

Among others, I own a PS1000 from Grado and an LCD2 from Audeze and have had warranty dealings with both companies.  I thought it would be useful to the Head-Fi community to hear of my different experiences dealing with these two companies.   Grado is an established company.   Audeze is a new...

First I want to say ,in all the dynamic HPs,The king is not SONY R10 ,The King is GRADO PS1 The most difference between PS1 and PS1000 are the balance of the sound. I feel PS1000 like USA sound ,PS1 like german sound with some feel of USA. PS1 are specially made for german and it only been...

I am looking for a good headphone amplifier that can drive Senn HD 800, Audeze LCD-2, Denon D5000, JHA Pro 13 (and possibly Grado PS1000/GS1000/RS1) with ease to satisfying listening levels. I have a couple of decent DACs (Anedio D1 and Eastern Electric DAC), so a good DAC is an added bonus, but...

My first pair of Grado cans was a pair of SR80s from the late 90s. I appreciated the sound they were going for, but they really didn't wow me. I still used my Audiotechnica A900s for almost everything. However, when I sold my SR80s and bought a pair of SR225s (no i) I fell in love with that...

This is assuming a minimum level of quality from all components in the chain ie. headphones in the hd650/k702 price range, amps in the graham slee solo/lehmann black cube price range and dac's in the dac1/da10 price range and mp3's from 320kbps to lossless.   Asumming this quality level -...

OK my budget for a headphone-only setup (that means that I don't need a speaker amp and\or speakers....) is 3000$(including the headphones and amp...) any recommendations?   Thanks      

Hello to everybody here. I have read many threads here in the past, but only now joined. Seems like an active and good group so I am sure I'll enjoy myself. I am awaiting the arrival on my slightly used Grado SR1i. I lucked out finding a pair with only about 50 hours of break-in use on them. The...

Just spotted in this month's What Hifi magazine ( UK ) a head to head battle of these two high end headphones. Thought I would post to let you know the outcome and throw in some comments from the magazine for those who haven't seen it. The Grado came out on top with 5 stars ( out of 5 ) and the...
