So, my SR-60's have developed a nasty tear in the outer layer of the cable near the Y, and the jack connector has been getting kinda sketchy lately.  I've already sent them in for repair once, when the jack connector broke last time (I have a bad habit of falling asleep with them on). I also...

I can't seem to find much reviews on Grado's. I am looking at 1) SR-125 $260 2) SR-225i $350 3) MS1000i $250   All prices in SGD.   Can someone describe to me the sonic characteristics of each? Do any of these headphones require an amp to sound good? Music preferences lean to rock...

  I'm a huge music fan, but i'm pretty new to the realm of audiophila and these headphones will be my first major purchase. I'm looking at these, all headphones, but im not sure if I should go with earphones instead (any advise would help). What do you guys think would be the best pair for...

Hey everyone, first post here. Anyway I've been bitten by the upgrade bug and am now looking to replace my MS-1s (equivalent of grado SR125?) with a nicer pair of open cans. Budget is about $500 incl. shipping (if necessary) to aus.   I listen to a lot of different music styles, mostly...

I am new to this site.  I currently own three headphones.  The Sony MDR-SA 1000, Audio Technica AD 700, and the Grado SR-125. I like the Grado the least, mostly due to comfort, and the immediate sound-stage.  The Sony is by far the most detailed, with the best dynamic range of the group.  Also...

Hello everyone,   I've read this forum for a while and see here a lot of knowledgeable people willing to help so I'd like to ask you for advice.   I'd like to spend about $250 (maybe a little more if that would make a noticeable difference) but don't know if I should buy just headphones...

Hello,   I currently have AKG K702s and they are fantastic, no doubt.  However, I recently had to box up my beloved hifi and will now be exclusively listening to headphones for at least the next 9 months due to a new living situation.  And, as much as I am astounded by the K702s, I "think" I...

So a few years ago... my uncle gave me a pair of SR 125. but there was no ear pads.. well there were but  they broke  so they're extremely uncomfortable so i was wondering where i could get a replacement. Or i was wondering if any of you have suggestions for a ~100 ish pair of headphones i m...

Hi all,   I've currently got a pair of Sennheiser HD515s in which the foam in the earpads and headband have completely disintegrated. The headphones still work but I don't think you can replace the pads so it looks like I'll be buying a new pair. They've had about 5 years of daily use so I...

Short story is next paragraph. Alright. After spending 130 bucks on some new Grado SR125is in January (awesome deal, I know), I am hooked on headfi. I am in need of some new cans. I want some closed ones. I love the grado sound, but on the bus to school, I don't want people to hear my music at...

So i picked up the SR125's today at a place called the headphone bar. After testing these out with and without the earpads, I have come to the conclusion that i enjoy the sound more without the earpads, it seems to make the mid ranges louder.   Strangely i can't find any threads on doing any...

Hey guys....I'm just getting into true audiophile territory lately and am thinking about just trying to sample all the different sorts of headphones out there at once!     I've got a little dot MKIII on order and being made right now (expect it in about two weeks; so I've got some time to...

I was wondering what are the differences in these? I read around there isnt any vast improvement between the two models. Is that true?   I was thinking of getting one of these two but can't decide. Which one is suited better for trance, rock and metal?   I was also thinking of purchasing...

I have read a bunch of post about the MS1s being modified Grados. And many opinions about the sound quality and where they fall in on the Grado heaphones scale. But what I want to know is; what are they really? Are they modified SR80s, SR125s or etc.? Not speculations or opinions, but maybe...

I was looking in getting a new speaker system but have opted to get some new headphones instead.   I have heard that Grado headphones have a unique sound, I need something different than my M50's   The reason I am getting these headphones is for home listening. These are my two...

Rank your headphones. Please rank your headphones that you own and use regularly. Please don’t list or rank headphones that you use to own or that you have tried. My goal here is to have a positive outlook ranking, not a product bashing list. I figure that if you own and use them, you must like...

im getting the audio gd fun and was wondering what grado is worthy. im having trouble deciding between the SR80i=$100, SR125i=$150, and the SR225i=$200. i mostly listen to rock music.

Hello everyone, this is my first post on here eheh   I would like to change my headphones, now I use earphones, the ones that come with your phone eheh... Well I'm sick and tired of that type, they annoy my ears, I can't stand them anymore.   So I'd like to buy soon some around-ear...

Just got a few questions 1. what grado model is this based off of? 2. Whats leakage like? can I wear them in public or in the car with other poeple who dont want to hear my music?

I need to recable the ginormous, annoying stock cables of the Grados. What is needed to recable it and perhaps add a removable wire? I'll be using a 1/8" since the headphones are easy to drive and don't need amping.

Have your say! All for fun and I'm really quite anticipating your vote.   Edit: I'm extremely sorry for not adding the HF-2 into the equation, I never heard of them at the time.

Greetings all,   I'm about ready to splurge on some low-end audiophile gear and need some recommendations.    Over the past few years I've been listening to music on Grado SR-125s and Sennheiser PX-100s.  I like the SR-125s for their excellent precision and detail, but I find them to be...

Here it is... My very first thread in this amazing forum...     Hi All, So sorry if this question is old or someone has posted it before or I may have use the wrong technical jargon... this is my first post so bare with me people, all of this hi-fi or audiophile phones are very new to...

I'm talking artists like Stars of the Lid, Hammock, Eluvium, Jesus in Japan, Steve Roach, etc. Even if you aren't familiar with these artists, the ambient umbra is usually characterized by an immense...MASSIVE soundstage. For a few months I was considering upgrading to the RS1i, but they...
