Grado Ps500 vs more popular headphones?
Wondering how the PS500s stack up against other, more popular buys in the $500-700 region, HE-500s, Beyer T90, Sennheiser HD650/HD700, Denon D5000. And to some extent slightly higher priced headphones like the T1 and HD800 (T1 you can get for almost $700 used). Just curious as I'm thinking...- Mgear

Recommendations for replacing Beyer T1
Hi all. I'm looking for something to replace my Beyer T1s and am hoping for some advice. The T1s are very transparent and detailed which I generally like but I have personally found them a bit bright and a bit distant. I'm looking for something with a fuller sound that's also more engaging...- LogicalDisconnect

Easy Grado mod for dramatic sound improvement
Through countless experiments, I found out the best angle to stack your RS1i onto the cheaper SR125. At an angle of roughly 52 degrees, the pressure of RS1i is most delicious. My life can never be the same.- physib

GS-1000/Aune X1 combo? Stupid idea?
Okay, so I just got a pretty sweet deal on a pair of used GS-1000s.

SR60i - What's going on here!?
I recently ordered the SR60i for testing purposes, to see if I could recommend it to friends with confidence. To my surprise, they sound really great compared to the SR225i and SR325i I have. In fact, I think I even may prefer the SR60i to the SR225i and SR325i. What's going on here!? Has...- Biscuitz

Upgrade from Grado sr125i to rs1i?
I've been using a 125i for hundreds of hours and I love it. Recently I wanted to have an upgrade by getting a RS1i, but it turned out to be, how should I put it, not as good. Now I mean I still think it's a better sound, just not worth the price-sound ratio to me. So I tried the G cushion, but...- physib

Total newb in need of help: Icon HD + Schiit Asgard + SR325is? Or NFB 15.1?
I'm using Grado SR325is. I own the NuForce Icon HD, but from some of my recent research it seems the HD's ~250 mW output at 32 Ohms might not exactly take full advantage of the SR325is. Would the HD / Schiit Asgard be a competent combo for SR325is? Or should I ditch the HD and Asgard idea...- Biscuitz
