I've had my Grado SR-80s for a number of years now and recently they stopped working. I suspected one of the wires had come disconnected from the plug. I replaced the original with a Neutrik NTP3RC plug. The left channel was still dead and the right channel worked a bit but when I moved the...

Ok so I emailed grado for some reccomendations on some closed headphones, this is the email, " Hello, first off I'd like to say I have been a long time fan of your headphones, and I have yet to find any headphones that are as enjoyable as yours. However, I have a slight problem. I can't take my...

So. It's been a fun ride so far. I've tried many different phones, some out of my budget and some within: Koss PortaPro Grado SR-80 Grado SR-225 Grado SR-325i Alessandro MS-1 Alessandro MS-2 Alessandro MS-2i Alessandro MS-Pro Sennheiser EH-2270 Sennheiser HD-580 Sennheiser HD-600...

Admit it! You wear gigantic, probably-not-best-suited for public, or open headphones in public. You probably shouldn't, and you get lots of funny looks, but you do. Sound trumps fashion, of course! I can't be the only one wearing rediculously large headphones around. I know there are...

http://s533.photobucket.com/albums/ee334/baka1969/ Hi fellow headphone freaks! I just received my Grado SR-225s that I purchased from another Head-Fi member in the mail on Monday. This is in addition to the Grado SR-80s I also possess. I want to do a review that will directly...

People say Grado is the best option for rock. Why? Since a lot of my listening is rock (metal, hard rock, R&R, blues, alternative...) and STAX is kinda a risky purchase when it comes to rock, I'm thinking of getting the first Grado in my life. SR80 or SR125 I think. But I'm curious to know...

So im thinking about purchasing some MS-1's and i'm just wondering if anyone has had any hands on experience with the 'improved' version. If so, what are the differences between the two and is it worth the extra 10$? -sc

Just as the title says, I am looking for the best set of cans for Progressive Metal/Rock and Power Metal(The majority of my music). I've read around quite a lot and there seems to be no definite answer(Of course, sound is objective though). ATM, I am leaning towards the Grado SR80's(or 60's if...

  Around 250$-300$, what would be best for Progressive Rock/Metal, Jazz, Acoustic, Classical? I currently own a Grado SR80 set. For ordering from Israel, the prices would be as follows: hd598 290$ a900x 305$ ad900 275$ q701  324$ etc...   Any absolute best choice for my music...

From what I have gathered getting a DAC/amp for my nexus 7 or s2 phone is not possibly. So for now am looking to buy a amp that works with grado sr80 or audio technica ath m50. So I at least watch movies And play music with good volume. I am using MX player for video. And demoing poweramp and...

For comparison, I have previously owned; Sony MDR-V6, Koss PortaPro, Grado SR60 and SR80. All without any dedicated amplification usually straight out of my Optimus CD3400 cd player (raved about in Stereophile 15yrs back). Primarily listening to industrial and metal. Anything from Metallica to...

Hi all I  already have  grado sr80i and denon dn hp500 headphones. My source is xonar dx and my amp is cmoy. My music preferences are old rock like beatles, zz top, queen and  jazz like bill evans, mstislav rastropovich and some others jazz artists with more piano and double bas and less...

Been using my Grado SR80 for travel but they are falling apart and dont fill the portable roll well at all.   I am looking for portable headphones which are durable, comfortable and sound nice. I prefer to spend around 100-150USD but I can go up to around 250 if the gain in quality is good...

First of all, quest is , is it possible to put g cush on grado SR80i. If it is possible, question is where to buy it in europe? Online sales of course

about 10 years ago, i purchased my first quality set of headphones... the sr80s and i really love their "punchy character"  I used them so much that the foam ear pieces started coming off in chunks about two years ago.  i didnt know about the cheap 414 foam pieces at the time and was to cheap to...

I would like us with delicate and sensitive ears to share our experiencis as to which headphones work for us and which ones do not. Give examples of both the worst and the best headphones for us proned with tinnitus and hyperakusis. I developed severe tinnitus and hyperakusis after having bougt...

I've been lurking head-fi for quite a while, and the forum quite influenced me on my last pickup of IEM's (GR07's) and I've decided to make an account And now, I've decided on getting a full-sized pair, and I'm currently looking at the Senn HD598's Would these be a great pickup, or are there...

Modded Grado RS 60 with PVC faux woodies                      

Hey I've been wondering about alessandro headphones for a while now. Can anyone help me out here? Anything about them, let me know, how they sound, and what are the grado equivilent's? Thanks

So the connector was giving problems and i decided to replace it. I cut the cable and the wires look like this       I just brought a Neutrik 3.5mm TRS connector. But that accepts just 3 wires. How do I connect this to a TRS plug?

Hey, I am looking for advice on recabling my headphones. Does anyone know a place that will do it for me, and if not, where can I get all of the parts I need? I want nylon sleeving and possibly a 1/8 inch connector that screws into a 1/4 inch adapter. 

I was about to send my 15+ year old SR-80s back for a re-build, but waited a bit too long.  I wanted to take them on a trip, no time to round-trip to Grado.  So, I took the opportunity to do a little tweaking and repair myself.   The two issues were the cord (dried out, hard, and bad...

Hello fellow members of Head-fi.   This topic probably doesn't entirely belong in this sub-forum, but I found creating one topic asking everything more useful than spamming other sub-forums aswell.   So, first of all, let me tell you I'm a complete noob considering high-end audio. Until...

There is a short in my SR-80's cable on the right side of the y-joint. It still works, but I can't turn my head much while using them and have to constantly reposition the cord. I don't have the patience to put a cable together myself, and if I send them back to Grado for repair, I won't have...
