    Grado e Series

    Yes they can be a bit polarizing.. and it's true either love them or hate them! They are not for bass heads, and the leak sound more then a 1960s English sports car leaks oil. But if you give them time and allow them the proper break and they can be very rewarding...

    Audeze LCD-2 driver failures

    The left driver on my LCD-2 also failed after five months. I sent it off to Audeze they took almost a month to repair and when they came back they would make crackling sound when you touched them. Spoke to Audeze they agreed to replace them a new pair. Sound wise they are without a doubt some of...

    Grado e Series

    I've owned a pair of PS 500 for about six months now, and I have to say this when I first heard them before they were broken in, they were a bit muddy and disappointing.. However as they begin open up they very quickly began to soundbetter and better... As far as female vocals go, I kinda prefer...

    I have discovered there are cheaper less expensive and less addictive hobbies then being an audiophile.. Crack cocaine for example..:)

    Grado PS500s (new Grado's)

    Well... It :)appears that the mystery behind the Grado PS 500's with the red drivers and 1/8 mini headphone jack has been solved. Apparently Gradro has been secretly selling next-generation E type headphones without the E markings to unsuspecting customers for the last couple of months. To the...

    Grado PS500s (new Grado's)

    I would be curious to see if it's just the PS500'S that they're changing the cable from the standard 1/4 to the 1/8 connector... For the average consumer this move makes sense since the majority of consumer audio equipment out there from computers to telephones and MP3 players seems to only be...

    Grado PS500s (new Grado's)

    Don't go by graphs, don't go by reviews, or the words of others... Trust in your own ears... No the PS 500s or not like other Grado's, nor were they ever supposed to be... And for that reason Grado lovers either love them, or hate them...There are no in between's with this model.. I've had my...

    Grado PS500s (new Grado's)

    Grado's are like Morgan automobiles, an Anachronism, a relic from another age, which has somehow made it to the 21st-century.. Dr. Dre will sell more Headphones in a day then Grado will sell in a lifetime. If you measure success by sales alone, than Dr. Dre's are a success, and Grado's are a...

    Grado PS500s (new Grado's)

    ]Like I said it could be a special order idem, it could be that for whatever reason,that they decided to start putting red drivers in all their future PS f500's from now on, or could just be they just ran out of the right stuff that day and decided to use whatever they had just sitting around...
