Unfortunately the cable I've been using on my Grados have finally broken. It was a cable purchased from Chris_Himself back in 2011. The cable was Silver Solid Core and had MDPC sleeveing with a Neutrik plug all for $75 shipped. I found the cable quite stiff and because I constantly had it coiled...

I wan't to dye my stock Grado bowls. I know nothing about the process and would appreciate any insight.   I plan to Bleach the colour out(is that even possible with black?).Then re-dye the pads to the desired colour. Will this work?

I have owned my Grado cans for around five months now. Problem is, I haven't yet achieved maximum comfort. The mesh on the driver side of the cups rub against my pinna(outer ear) giving me great discomfort after about 30 minutes of use. I have developed more resistance(ear calluses? lol) to this...

I no longer have a portable media player in my possession =(. Listening to a sea of conversations on transit is becoming painful lol. Originally I was planning to wait for the Z2 to release in Canada, but the drawbacks of the device and other android based PMPs are weighing more heavily as time...

Hey guys, I want to make my own headband but don't know how to approach it. I don't have the cash to spend $40 on a headband and I have yet to find one in grey. I'm thinking about purchasing a belt and doing it myself. What tools would I need? Do I fold two pieces of the belt and sew the metal...

    I received my little dot I+ yesterday and I have haven't heard the amazing increase in SQ many spout off about here. Listening with my SR325is' I'm not even sure if any audible improvement isn't placebo. That's besides the point. I have a couple quick questions regarding the amp...

I just received my Little Dot I+ in the mail today, but I became a little disheartened to learn my new guy has a limited life span. I'm not sure if its the Tubes, the amp itself, or both that degrades in quality, but it makes me feel like my LDI+ is a ticking time bomb. How long is it typically...

I sent this as a PM to Billavideo, however he doesn't seem very active as of lately so I was hoping for some outside help =)   I was reading a thread about making the SR325is sound better and I came across this post.   Quote:     Naturally I don't value sleep so this sound very...

If you could construct your own PMP/or build upon a existing one, how could you make it personally perfect? The rules are, 1) you can't give it features that aren't within reason(ex. Zeus struck my PMP with a lightning bolt allowing for impossibly high impedance phones to explode in angelic...

I've been in a massive internal conflict to decide if I should keep my Grado SR325is headphones. The problem is definitely not the sound, but the portability. I really need something I can lug around with me on bus commutes and not look completely idiotic wearing them. The Grado SR325 design...

I've been debating with myself lately if to let go of my SR325is(let me know what you think of my price btw) and go with top tier universal IEMs. I searched for a consensus on these forums to no avail. My belief is that Fullsize headphones have more bang for their buck, is this true? When you...

I am going to be purchase a pair of new headphones tommorow but I am looking for a step up from the MTPCs. I adore my MTPCs but after hearing some of the Grado's qualities I started craving certain aspects my IEMs did't project. I decided that a hybrid between the MTPCs and Grados Cans would be...

I've owned these Grado SR325is for about a week and let them burn in for 45hours. Being a fairly new member of the high-fi community my first purchase was MTPCs around a year ago. That paired with my iBasso T3 amp is the only setup I have had experienced until this purchase. My impressions will...

I just received my 325is' in the mail a couple days ago and naturally I am a big fan of the SQ. I however had comfort issues out of the box and have been messing around with the headband since. Numerous threads confirmed that bending the headband will effect sound and I have experienced this...

I have been hear a lot about how people are avoiding the internal amp inside their ipod by using a line in. If I used this method to connect to an ibasso t3 or something similar, would the sound quality rival or even rival a Cowon product(j3, D3, ect)?

I'm not looking to spend $400 to the cent, as much as I am looking for best bang for my buck considering the equipment I am currently using(ex. a $200 suggestion is fine). I have a Cowon D3(similar to a J3 in sound quality) amped through a ibasso t3. To give a benchmark, I use monster turbine...

I was look over this particular section of the forums and I am surprised to see so many people predicating hundreds of dollars on cables. I myself am a man of simpler taste specifically in the $23 range(all I have to spend). I received my iBasso T3 in the mail last week and it came with the male...

May of last year I received Monster Turbine Pro Coppers for my birthday from my Grandfather(I had asked for them because of the great deal on the official Amazon dealer). I have had an excellent experience with them so far, but recently the left earbud has been suffering from periodic but...

I'm a little late to the J3 party because I held out for the D3. After reading about the disaster that player is musically, I want to go back to simpler times when J3 was the clearly my only option. The problem is Cowon is making it impossible to find a 32gb White J3 that will ship for a decent...

I know very little about headphone quality and purchased my Turbine Pro Coppers based on opinions off this site. So far I am very happy with how they sound and cannot go back! I am wondering if I am able to make it sound better with a portable amp and if the sound difference will be significant...

I have been using a pair of $8 earbuds bought at Walmart for about half a year now. I think now it is time I upgrade.   I was planning to buy "Bose On-Ear Headphones" but I had read, bang for your buck isn't there in terms of sound quality and the bass is just dumb. In the end many forum...
