Hello everyone,   I have Grado 325is, a late 2008 Macbook (model 5,1).  I'm looking for an amp, which from what I understand will require an external DAC as well.   I recently tried the Fiio E07K dac/amp combo.  I couldn't tell any difference between the internal Mac and external DAC. ...

I've decided that it's about time I upgrade my portable audio setup and make it a much better listening experience since this is where most of my listening takes place. I would appreciate it if somebody could recommend me a headphone with good bass and treble extension that would provide...

Hello everyone,  I just got a pair sr325is and they do sound quite bright unamped so I would like to buy a portable amplifier for on the go usage. I was thinking about the ifuzen HP-1 and I would love to get some feedback from you guys. Other suggestions on any portable headphone amplifier for...

Hi, Ive been reading all of the review that I can find on the Matrix M stage, and I an highly considring purchasing one to powe my Grado 325is. I understand there are plenty of reviews on this amp (that I have read) , but nobody from what I have read has posted any comments on this combo. My...

Hi, I currently have a pair of SR325is hooked up to a little dot 1+ running through a calyx coffee... it sounds good for some material but I'm beginning to feel like the details aren't there... I listen exclusively through foobar.   I really wanted to stay away from anything 300+ but I'm...

I've recently got my downstairs system set up with the Mad Dog headphones and Schiit Magni amp running out of my Squeezebox classic. I'm really enjoying the sound of this set up and want to duplicate it as much as possible up in the office while using the computer. I blew a lot of my "fun" money...

I might get the sr325is or the sr225i, I also was considering the Alessandro ms2i. My budget is around 300 and I only want one of the 3 mentioned, which one has the most bass? Which one has the shortest cable? Does the Alessandro have a 3.5mm plug instead of the 1/4"? I want to crank the...

Falling shelf scared my dog who was laying on the wire of my Shure SRH840s which in turn broke them in half at the headband. I don't necessarily care if my new cans are open or closed. I'd prefer to stay under 250 or 200 USD but I'm willing to go up to 300 USD. Currently I'm considering the AKG...

I currently own a pair of V-Moda Crossfade LP's and really like them because of the bass. I use them for listening to most genres of Heavy Metal but mainly the more extreme sub-genres (Death Metal, Thrash Metal and Black Metal)   I've had them for a little under two years now but I'm...

I listen to mostly rock/rock alternative sucha as the black keys red hot chili peppers and the arctic monkeys. There is one sorta electric band I listen to called ratatat. I have v moda crossfade lp's that I got for $50 and I figured they are made for dub step rap and hip hop which I'm not too...

Looking for something with bass and really clear sound price isn't an option. Will be using a FIIO E11 amp. Looking for full size over the ear headphones.

Greetings   After being a long time lurker, I think it's time I ask this question to the Grado lovers..   I have the original SR325's and love them...   The 325's have had two updates since and it has gotten me wondering if it is time to upgrade..   With that said, does it make...

Good evening,   This is my first post so go easy on me please.   Does anyone have an idea how much I should sell my SR325i's for? They are about four years old and have less than a 100 hrs use (long story) and they are the gold 50th edition.   I am from the UK by the way.   Your...

Hey there! So, I was thinking recabling and perhaps making my lovely 325(goldie) grados balanced. Anybody has any experience, how it changes the sound? anybody tried Moon Audio cables? Silver, Black dragons? As for balanced output, I am thinking of Audio-GD NFB-10WM. Thaanks!

Hi, this is my first thread. I was wondering on head-fi and only look at comments like usual and clicking links while listening to my grados. Suddenly I found myself looking at the following website:   http://www.knicom.co.jp/version2011.html   I'm rather surprised because I can't find...

Well I got up to 32 ohm today and to my surprise they had the RS-2 to use and some 325is. LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!!! Build: Well that can I say ones wood, ones metal and are built pretty much the same.   Sound: OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD! 325is: Well people on here say that the higher end...

Hello everyone,   Firstly - thank you to the incredible community out here, which has helped me through purchases (Grado SR80, 325, Sennheiser CX300, IE7, Klipsch Image S4) at various points of time.   I have a Grado SR325is currently. Absolutely love the cans. I hate the 6.3mm jack...

Hi I am new to the whole audiophile world and would like to ask what headphone I should get. I have narrowed it down to these headphones because I think these two will best suit my needs.I primarily listen to rock but I often listen to a variety of genres. The headphones I will get will be...

Hi, I just started taking an interest in headphones & read you need a decent amp for something like the SR325. So would the FiiO E9 be good enough? If not can you please suggest some other amps.I will be listen to my music on the dekstop.thanks.        

My next headphone upgrade will be the SR325is, I listen to 95% rock, metal, punk, anything with electric guitars. Big things I'm looking for are clear details and a nice, tight bass to go along with fast paced rock music.   I currently have the FiiO E7+E9 combo and I know it gets a lot of...

So the other day I got a refund check in the mail from my old apartment complex for about $300 and I wasn't expecting it, so this nice surprise will go towards my next headphones. This means I can get the 325 with flats for $30ish out of my bank (considering the $300 as a bonus) But then that...

After years without decent headphones, I bought a pair of Grado SR80i's 2 weeks ago and love them so much I am, insanely, after a "better" set of headphones. I've just ordered an Asgard and had intended to step up the Grado line and buy the sr325is. I've read in a number of places that the 325is...

Hi,   Recently my grandmother bought me a pair of Grado SR325is as a surprise. I will mainly be using these headphones in study hall and at home. I am in need of an amp that I can just put in my suitcase or backpack and take along. I was looking at the Grado RA1 but I am not sure if it is...

I'm just wondering how good of a combo this would be.  I'm sure the MKIII would be better, but it also seems to be around $125 more.  My primary concern is amping the Sennheisers, but it would be nice if the MKII would also provide some effect in softening up the treble of the 325is  ...

I'm just wondering how good of a combo this would be.  I'm sure the MKIII would be better, but it also seems to be around $125 more.    My primary concern is amping the Sennheisers: tightening up the bass a little bit, and also slightly brightening them up , but it would be nice if the MKII...
