My SR225 phones have just arrived. As if by timing, so did the Head Box S USB... Haven't even tested them properly and they're already impressive. Wow.

Hmm..i guess i will keep them for future modding.
Any idea how to properly wash them?!
Keep them on shampoo and water solution for 15min or just keep pressing on them for 2-3min(on water+ shampoo)?
Well, I'm coming to the same conclusion that DavidA highlighted, that the cable on the 225 is short and heavy. Going to give it a little while longer, but it does look like I'm going to end up changing them out.
Any suggestions for what to replace them with please? I'm thinking Sen HD 480 cables, which I can get reasonably easily.
I've been a Grado fan for years now, but have had the pleasure of auditioning the Sennheiser HD800 recently (albeit, in a noisy store). Much to my surprise, they sounded lively, bright, and transparent. Any other Grado fans out there who have thoughts on the HD800?
Edit: I have a PS500, PS500e, RS2e, and GH1 mega review/comparison in the works!
My Grado stable is only the SR-225e (modded), RS2e (modded) and a woody SR-60i, I also have a HD-800, SR-009 and a few others.
The problem with the HD-800 for many is finding the right amp that pairs well with it while most Grados that I have tried (GS-1000e, PS-500e, RS1i, RS1e, SR-325e), mine included is that they are not as amp picky. My current amp for the HD-800 is a BH Crack (w/ upgraded caps and tubes), while it sounds really good, I've also heard the HD-800 on a few other amps that make it sound better than what the BH Crack can do, granted most of these amps are in the $2000+ range and really are diminishing returns to me.
Is it a waste to have headphones like that to listen to rock with?
You may just have the perfect HP's for Rock already.

I listen to a lot of alternative rock, and I haven't seen a lot of people comment on the HD800's ability to perform with those types of genres. There's a local head-fi meet on Saturday and I'm hoping to get a better chance to listen to the Senns, but I was curious about your experience with the HD800's rock-ability. Is it a waste to have headphones like that to listen to rock with?
Cheers!
