Grado sr225i's as an 'alternative' headphone?
Hey, thanks for all the advice. So here is what Ive got from everything Ive read so far, and some kind of plan of attack. Grado's in general have the same 'sound', as a trademark, though obviously the higher up you go the better the quality (though not necessarily a linear relationship) They...- cobley

Zippo-Fi
I have this one http://www.mindyourfingers.co.uk/zippo_254BJD.428_1.jpg Picked it up in Cody, Wyoming a few years back. Wouldnt be unusual if I wasnt from the otherside of the world and had no idea the place existed until I got there- cobley

Second set of high end headphones - advice needed (~$250)
Tell me about it. I found a 3 year old pair of skullcandy headphones earlier (dont judge me, I was naive and they were shiny), flogged them on eBay for £40 and picked up a pair of 598s as well as the sr225i's. I'll give a little review when both of them get here I guess- cobley

Do I need a DSP if Im using the E7/E9 combo?
Yeah, Ive been messing around in MediaMonkey for a few hours, Ive decided to leave them all off. Occasionaly I just turn the bass up if the song needs it. Thanks for the advice though- cobley

Anyone with an E7 want to help me out?
Ran into a very strange issue today. I havent had a decent set of earbuds for a while since my senn's broke, Ive been running off the pair I got with my phone. I've only used the E7 with my 595s till this morning, plugged the earbuds into the left hand socket, and all I got was distrorted noise...- cobley

Grado sr225i's as an 'alternative' headphone?
Ive had my 595s for over a year now, and Im awaiting a pair of 598s in the mail But I have a little spare, enough for the sr225i's. I'm thinking I want to try something with a different sound to the sennheisers, and from the posts on this forum it seems like that would be the way to go, your...- cobley

Do I need a DSP if Im using the E7/E9 combo?
Pretty new to all this, what exactly does a DSP do? Im using the FiiO E7/E9 combo so the soundcard is bypassed, with HD595s (598s and sr225is on the way) Using MediaMonkey as a player, which I highly recommend, best music player Ive ever used in my life, completely blows foobar out of the water- cobley

Second set of high end headphones - advice needed (~$250)
Ive spent the past few hours scouring the forums and though I know a little about each model, but then more keep popping up I think my plan right now is to pick up the Grado sr225i, with the E7 I can use the bass boost if needed, or adjust the EQ when using the E7/E9 combo I guess if I narrowed...- cobley

Second set of high end headphones - advice needed (~$250)
Thanks, I guess thats what I'm looking for really. I honestly wouldnt mind spending the same amount of money as I did for the 595s but on something that sounded completely different. Ive asked on another forum, and been told that the Beyerdynamic 770/80's wouldnt be too bad for a change of...- cobley

++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
So I've had my 595s for about 18 months now, my first set of high end headphones. About a month ago I went out and picked up the FiiO E7 & E9. I was caught between spending my cash on either a reasonable desktop amp or a great portable one, and I figured I listen to my music mostly when away...- cobley

Actually I forgot to add: I watch a LOT of films with my headphones on. If theres a set that are particularly good for watching movies/television, then I'd definitely have to take them into consideration- cobley
