looking to buy a new iem for hardcore rock and other guitar based genres of music   looking to spend $150USD used   i have already owned the mtpg and enjoyed them a bit, was curious if anything out there might be better.

i now have purchased the grado hf-2 waiting on them now.   i want to be able to utilize a lod because my ipod or laptop are my main sources. im not partial to either.   what would be a good solid state amp to pair up with these cans. id prefer no tubes as i travel a bit and dont wanna...

just bought a pair of grado hf-2     can anyone suggest a good portable amp to match with these cans that im so excited for.   i was thinking of a headsix fiio e7 or e11   or maybe something a bit more expensive like the alo rx or a rsa tomahawk or p51.   listen mostly to...

hello all,   ive finally decided i am set in stone and keeping my 325I and not upgrading into the woodied grados because it makes no sense to me.   now id like to give them the proper current and not out of my hp out of my ipod.   can some1 suggest amps that synergy nicely with my...

i want to start my setup from scratch again. and would like to know how you would complete this setup.  i already own an ipod touch and a laptop (with horrible soundcard)   i want to use grado 325I as my cans and either my ipod or laptop as source.     with $500 what would you add to...

i want to amp up my grado 325I, to see if i can get a slight improvement. i mostly listen to death metal, classic rock and other guitar based music. so rock and metal   it doesnt have to have a dac but if it does its a plus.   i want to spend about 100-250 dollars, and it can be used...

i just went to my local audio dealer, to demo my next pair of grados i was planning on purchasing. i sat there with the 325I with over an hour, smiling the whole time. i have to say i am shocked the forum has such a distaste for these. i am loving them. they sold me a perfect condition used...

im finally expanding my journey of headfi into at home listening. and am now looking into a full sized amp for at home.   i currently am in the process of buying a grado 225is headphone and will be using my ipod as the source.   my budget is about 150-250 dollars and i wouldnt mind...

im gonna pull the trigger and go back into my grado obsession but this time, im gonna purchase some 325is. i wanted to know what amp will do these cans justice. im looking to spend about 200-300 doesnt matter if its new or used.   it doesnt have to have a dac as most of my listening comes...

i started my journey in headfi over two years ago. and its magical up until now. I currently own no full sized cans and only a pair of IEMS (monster turbine pro golds), even though they are great, i want something more now.   so far i have owned sr80I sr225i and have listened to the m50's. i...

i wanna see if any1 can compare the 225i vs the HF2 i need someone to possible explain the differences etc.   i need some justification to make me wanna spend the extra dough and hard to find HF2, the only grado i can afford i havent heard.

i have owned a pair of grados since i started my journey into this headfi world. i started with the 80I loved what i heard, and upgraded to the 225I where i was satisfied for a long while.   But i was unsatisfied with the lack of bass they put out. i loved everything else about them. I just...

i want a full sized can with grado mids and treble. so i guess forwardness.   with a nice thick heavy kickin bass, so i guess you could say IE8 or monster pro gold bass   ALL IN 1 CAN.   does it exist?

any one here have any good, experience with a pair of these they own, i was curious about upgrading my IEMS and say the amazing price they offer for triple drivers, and couldnt help but to believe it might be too good to be true??   can any1 here chime on with feedback on these very...

currently at the moment i have monster turbine pro gold, while i love the bass, ALOT, i feel they could sound a bit cleaner and more organized, as well as having bigger mids   and while i love my grado 225I, they are very lacking in the amount and the amount of bass you can feel   so now...

yes ive been a proud grado owner for a long time now, and they leave me with something to still be desired, a harder hitting bass, that truly makes these genres shine,. my main genre i listen to is hardcore, death metal, deathcore, and dubstep. considering the music i listen to is extremely...

im looking for an amp that wont change the sound of my grados to give them more power than just straight out of an ipod. if it adds a little bass that wont hurt either. and also if it helps the preformance of my turbine golds wouldnt be bad either.   not looking to spend much,   would a...

im well convinced now that my sr80I could achieve a higher listening volume than my 225I reach. With my 225I they get loud but could use about 3 more clicks of volume and many songs.  Any else have experience to varify if the 80I were able to achieve higher volumes.   Is there any sort of...

i own the grado 225i and i want a portable amp, because i just want a mobility option as, i tend to use my ipod as a source and move around my house a lot.   id like to keep costs down and spend at most $200USD, i dont mind if the amp is used.   which sub 200$ amp no dac necessary will...

i have a pair of grado225I and looking to get a little bit more out of them, because they are my favorite in the grado line, How is the synergy between them and the headsix?. or a reccomendation of similar costing amps. but headsix would be my first in line to purchase.

ok so i sold my grados 3 months ago and have been using IEMS since, and well i was seriously craving that uncongested, audiobliss sound grado produces. long story short i bought the 225I once again, now the joys of having to burn them in.

would there be any noticable difference between using a shadow, with a pair of grado 225I or monster pro golds, i always thought the shadow was targeted to iems, so i wanted to know if there would any sort of difference between the two

im using the monster turbine pro copper and mainly listen to hardcore rock and was wondering what a good matched portable amp would be for these IEMS. no need for a dac, just need a portable amp
