    Looking for some headphone jacks for 325is.

    And, done.  At least with that mod. I had some employee at The Home Depot use a drill bit to widen the hole, so thanks employee at Home Depot.     I was terrified that I may have fried the driver, since I first tried using a butane-powered soldering iron.  It shoots out fire when it's hot...

    Looking for some headphone jacks for 325is.

    Wow, that was harrowing (first soldering experience lol) but there's nothing quite as satisfying as plugging in that aux cable and hearing both drivers pumping.  Will post pics later.

    Looking for some headphone jacks for 325is.

    Right, I do have the chrome version though.  I am unsure if they chip easier and I don't really know what to use to shave it down.  Secondly, I did look at 2.5mm inputs, but I cannot seem to find, like you said, long enough versions anywhere.

    Looking for some headphone jacks for 325is.

    I'm making my Grado 325is stereo with a jack.  Unfortunately Radioshack doesn't have many options.  What I would really like is someway to avoid shaving down the chrome ear cups.  I don't mind cutting the plastic.  Are there any long 2.5mm jacks?  Particularly ones like the locking style that...

    The Grado SR325is or the HE-400?

    Any experience here with the C5 or HRT Microstreamer?

    The Grado SR325is or the HE-400?

    Any recommendations on that front?  Preferably in a small form factor.  How is the Dragonfly 1.2?  What kind of voltage is preferable for the 325is?    In the future I may buy the HE-400is as well.

    The Grado SR325is or the HE-400?

    I figured as much.  That's why I decided to go with the 325is anyways.

    The Grado SR325is or the HE-400?

    Lovely.  Ha.  So the highs on both sound far too harsh then?   What open backs have some clean highs?

    The Grado SR325is or the HE-400?

    I suppose I was fairly misleading in my original post.  I cannot always listen to my speakers, as my neighbors need to sleep, but undoubtedly I will be using my headphones in my apartment 80% of the time.  I just wanted to have the option to move around to places like the library, where I find a...

    The Grado SR325is or the HE-400?

    Or maybe something else?  Recently, I bought some HE-400s on Ebay and the left driver was broken.  I got my refund, but now that I have another opportunity to choose a set of cans I thought maybe I should reconsider?  My taste, at least the last time I checked on Sputnikmusic, is 28% Metal, 25%...
