    My Grados died and I want to try new stuff!

    Hey everyone. My SR225i finally ate it after 5 years of faithful use. I love the speed and impact of the midrange on these for electronic music and would like to move in that general direction. Anyone here have experience with stuff in the $200-$500 range that has a similar sound signature...

    Upgrading from SR225i -- what to buy?

    Hello!    What do you guys think my next step should be from the Grado SR225i? I love these headphones and I want to know what will give me the most improvement for my money on my next set of cans. My budget is strictly $600.    All opinions are appreciated!

    Headphone challenge

    I think there should be a headphone challenge where members are required to build a set of headphones out of a designated bag of limited materials such as wire and diaphragm material (paper, cardboard, malleable plastics, magnets and unlimited access to kitchen tupperware) then compete for...

    My new mobile amp setup

    What do you guys think? I'm using an Optimus CD player with 3 seconds of anti-skip buffering along with a portable cloud workstation computer (the silver case) to convert digital audio. I coded all the software for it and also keep it with me at all times. Sometimes I attach them to my belt...

    SR125 vs. SR225i: big improvement, but is it just the drivers?

    I recently just got my pair of SR-225i from Amazon after ordering them yesterday (those guys are freaks at super fast shipping, holy crap)   First things first: I was originally expecting them to sound worse than my vented and dampened SR125s simply because they aren't broken in, but right...

    Grado SR125 vs SR225.. are the 225s worth the upgrade?

    Everyone seems to say the 225s are the sweet spot in the Grado line. Help me pick between the 225s and 325s! I already have the 125s and love them especially now that I have a true USB DAC headphone amp.   Do the 225s really deliver a killer low end that the 125s seem to lack sometimes? I...

    MDR V700DJ.. any alternatives to the stock cushions?

    I recently gave a friend my pair of Sony MDRV700DJ for portable use and he likes them, but they've always been plagued by causing your ears to scream of mercy after about 45 minutes of use. Anyone know of some really sweet super soft cushions that fit? I've looked around and can't find much!  ...

    The "My First Cans" appreciation thread!

    I'm pretty new here, but I've noticed a trend! Post the headphones that first opened your eyes (or really just your ears) to the wonderful world of accurate sound; basically the first time you had an epiphany after putting a pair of headphones on your head.   For me it was the RadioShack...

    My homemade Grado SR80 *pics*

    Earlier this week, a friend of mine had a bit of an accident with his SR80s. Needless to say the swivel cups and mounting points for the drivers were completely destroyed (I forgot to take before pictures!) The pads were ruined (and ghetto modded at that), so I brought the headband and drivers...

    Hey guys! I'm kinda new here and wanted to blurt this out   I registered a while back while lurking but decided to share my eye-opening experience after buying a pair of real cans!   I've owned a pair of MDR7506s for a while and definitely enjoyed them. Soon after I started discovering...
