me too lol they were awesome and i totally miss them. hopefully these pokemon grados scratch that itch.

people hate on everything. dont overthink it. there are really only subtle differences between models and its mostly preference. wood cups and metal are both awesome. only mistake would be to not use flats ;). at one point i sold off my $1200 rs1i system to go back to sr60 straight from the...

i suppose it could be more like an rs2. mine arrive today and not sure how big the cups are. but based on the other pics shown they are fully wood cups. my main point is that the cups are full wood like rs1 not like half plastic like some other ones theyve done in my years with grado the real...

as a lifelong grado and pokemon fan i could not pull the trigger fast enough. 500 for essentially a custom rs1 is a steal imo. i bought the wood with red headband as that seems to be the most iconic amd i havent had a wood grado in years since i sold my rs1i. if my daily drivers werent black...

i’ll probably keep them as parts for right now. they seem cooler to me this way. i might at some point build a NOS HP-1 but i’m in no rush. my HP-1 has a channel out but i’ve been too nervous to mess with them. i prefer the newer style headbands and just use a black 325 or sr200 with hp1k drivers

as per request... my NOS HP1000 grado treasures. pics of my personal headphones and amp ill add soon. :) i may be the only person in the world with these?

hey fellow grado fans. got something real special in the mail a few weeks ago... sourced from a personal friend of joe grado. will keep his identity and what i paid private but to me this is priceless. if he happens to read this (as he is a member of this forum) know that i appreciate it very...

yeah way more. flats are all i use on all my grados, from the sr60 to my sr200 and sr325 that both have hp1000 drivers in them. theyre also the most comfortable to me by far. the flats tame the highs, give a lush midrange that just melts you with any vocals, and give a tight punch and impact to...

first, congrats. grado's entry level is awesome. at one point i sold my rs1i rig because i couldnt justify keeping them when i got just about as much enjoyment from my sr60 straight from my macbook. that being said, go buy a pair of ttvj flat pads. use them for a week and you'll probably never...

yes all my grados use flats but metal chamber grados complement the flats the best in my opinion. i actually kinda preferred 325 with flats to rs1i until i got a pair of 325 with hp1000 drivers. metal chamber + flats gives you that full bass impact you need and tames the highs beautifully

i have an sr200 and a black sr325 both with blackstar drivers. let me tell you that the joe grado drivers are something special. if you get a pair of sr200 keep them the way they are in my opinion. yes the metal chambers (ala the 325) significantly improve the sound but id be hesitant to mess...

thats awesome. do you like the gh1 that much? ive been trying to hold myself back because i feel like i dont need them at the cost but they are so damn tempting... :)

you gotta give them a week. you'll never go back. flats are the only true grado pad. admittedly ive never heard the ps500 but i own sr325 and sr200 both with hp1k drivers, rs1i, ms1, sr325, magnum v5, and multiple sr60. i firmly believe if youve never used flats ypuve never heard a grado cheers

wow i cant believe a grado bushmills went for $1k. thats crazy to me. especially when i'm pretty sure there's still an sr200 with hp1k drivers on the for sale forum for half of that

for anyone interested theres an sr200 with hp1k blackstar drivers for a pretty good price in the classifieds here. i have two pairs with blackstar drivers, an sr200 and sr325. these drivers outperform pretty much all new grados, especially at that price. they are really special headphones dont...

one million percent yes. i actually think they are most noticeable and necessary on the 325 because of the metal chambers. the flats really tame the highs and fill in the low end the way its supposed to be. whoever said grado lacks bass has never heard a 325 with flats. they turn midrange and...

yes, i do believe what ypure looking for exists somewhere in the forums here. ill do some digging for ya but i wouldnt be surprised if someone here knows or remembers who it was in the meantime. that wood is beautiful btw.

that's awesome. are you selling these?

no question in my mind get the 325 and a pair of ttvj flats. the 325 is great and will sound way better unamped than the 80 will with a little dot. build a system over time around the 325, you will get much more with these than an 80. make sure you get ttvj flats! they are the only true grado...

not from the classifieds they sound amazing, just like any other joe grado headphone :) a little less bass than my black 325 with hp1k drivers but they are soo comfortable because theyre so light. any headphone with hp1000 drivers to me is a treasure

got some very special "new" headphones in the mail today... ;)

black 325 with hp1000 blackstar drivers and hpa-2. took me a while to get these treasures together, but seek and ye shall find..    grado bliss     

yup. just got the hpa-2. somehow found one unopened, NiB. unfortunately i think some stuff slid around inside during shipping because the front leds dont glow out he holes. hopefully nothimg damaged because its mint otherwise and it works with the power adapter no problem. thing sounds great...
