i have had an sr80 for about 4 years and i love it to death. it sounds a million times better with an amp. i paired it with a little dot mk ii and it sounded phenomenal. i say tubes are the way to go with grado. also, you're going to need a dac as well.

build quality looks pretty fragile. but if it can isolate noise, that is a plus.

the first time i listened to "camera obscura" unamped from my ipod with hd 280 pros. wow. it will always be a memory.

i will always remember the time when i was in the backseat of my sister's truck on my way to mexico listening to "camera obscura" for the first time ever along with my newly-purchased hd 280 pros. everything sounded so clear and the music was flawless. now, every time i listen to them, i always...

i usually just stuff my source (ipod) and amp in my backpack and wear my headphones to keep from carrying them around. it may look weird but in the words of bilavideo "i don't care what i look like, just what my gear sounds like." and that's my whole philosophy. 

both seem to aim towards the same crowd, and share many similarities. also, you have to choose one of those two brands. you can't say "i choose none because my grados sound better than both." have fun.    sample of "skullcandy" headphones.       sample of "wesc" headphones.

none of my headphones, because they're all upgradeable. 

Quote: great review!  also, if tyll says they sound good, they must sound good.

what kind of music are you listening to with them? if it's, say, music from the 70's; crackling is pretty common.

they are available for $40 on amazon... http://www.amazon.com/Audiology-Rasta-AU-100-Over-Headphones/dp/B003IHUXHC

grado charges $20 for their l-cush pads, which is just a piece of foam. that's 1/2 the price of the igrado! 

i hope not. i really hate phones. hopefully some groundbreaking technology for daps develops... but that seems unlikely.

that picture is amazing. it seems that any picture taken with a leica is a masterpiece.

thank you armandhammer!

just watched the pa2v2 video. great review! but you might want to consider reviewing your products with your camera set horizontally rather than vertically. just a suggestion.  i hope to see more reviews in the future!

looks good and the price is really generous compared to other amps. i've been meaning to get into speakers lately, but my wallet won't let me. 

avast was the best free antivirus back when i had a pc. it detected and eliminated viruses that avg couldn't. but now i have a mac. 

i wish him the best. very good man.

i give tips depending on the service and the hospitality i get. but i tip no more than five dollars. keep in mind, i have never been to a fine dining/fancy restaraunt.
