    Grado Fan Club!

    I go through phases. Most of the time I am over at thegearpage.net discussing guitar effect sounds but when I get tired of that I come here. Had a pair of RS-1i's for awhile but sold them to fund some gear purchase. Well I bought some grado 325e's yesterday and I am liking them as much as I...

    audio technica vs pro-ject carbon debut

    looking into getting a turntable soon.  I am quit liking the look of the audio technica 1240.  I don`t need any of the DJ features but I like the metal and aesthetic.  I know some have complained about the preamp and not being able to bypass it.    Also like the Pro-ject Carbon but the painted...

    Best Headphone for Fender Mustang III Guitar AMP ( AUDIO TECHNICA M50 or .... ? )

    I have never played through a fender Mustang.  For after hours playing I usually use my Grado SR80i's.  had some 100$ Sony something or others that sounded good to.  I would recommend the Vox amplug.  I have the AC30 but I think they make a twin version for simulating fender cleans.  My fuzz and...

    audio technica ath-m50 vs hifiman he400

    How to these compare? I have a pair of Grado RS1i's that I love for rock but I have been listening to some more bass heavy music lately. I have tried the HE-400's out about a year ago and loved the amount of sub bass. I don't live anywhere near a place that sells headphones like this. So any...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    I listened to the Hifiman's in a store last summer when I was headphone shopping.  Came away with the Grado RS-1's(used from another member here) which pretty much killed the Hifimans for rock music I was listening to.  Now I am streaming the new Atoms for Peace album and wishing I could be...

    What do you all think of Bose?

    Yeah they are the Aviation ones http://www.bose.ca/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/aviation_headsets/a20/index.jsp. Just was feeling bad for Bose by all of the beat downs they were getting. So I thought I'd bring up something they are good at.

    What do you all think of Bose?

    I have the Bose A20 headset. Bought it for 1100$. Twice the price of my used RS1's and worth every penny. Noise canceling works really good and pro the most comfortable headset I've worn. They crush the David Clark's I had and I tried lightspeed Zulus, clarity aloft and senneheisers. The Zulus...

    If you had $500... Would you get the RS-2?

    I would buy them.  I couldn't find them in Edmonton when I went down there to buy a pair of headphones in the 5-600 dollar range.  I tried the Hifiman he400 and they were not to my taste at all.  Possibly they do genres of music I do not listen to heavily better then the guitar rock I like but...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    Hi, I am very new to the head-fi world. I am posting this just posting this because I want to know if I am doing something wrong. I demoed a pair of he-400's today and found them sound a little different then I expected. Bass was great but I am a guitar player who thinks the greates sound in the...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Well I made it to a store today to try out the rs1, ps500, hifiman 400 and Shure something or others. The worst was the hifiman's for my ears. Great bass but the guitars and vocals were too laid back. Loved true RS-1's the most but the bass isn't really there. If I could get the bass of the...

    what is the deal with planar? why would you say that they are inferior in your opinion? I am going to try them myself this weekend but I am not sure the hifiman's are going to suit my musical tastes.

    Grado Fan Club!

    Picked up a pair of sr80i a little while back. must be the gateway drug into high end headphones because I am already looking around for my next purchase. not sure if it's going to be another pair of grados or maybe hifiman he400. I am not quite familiar with all of the jargon quite yet on this...

    grado sr80i clipping problem?

    Could be that I want a bass heavier can but I love how this headphone reproduces guitar sounds and vocals. I like the sound up until the clipping but I probably shouldn't be listening to them that loud anyways. My ears ring afterward. Still I wish it wasn't possible to make them clip. I don't...

    grado sr80i clipping problem?

    I can get it to happen other bass heavy tracks from them. Love is Blindness - U2 or Blue Orchid from White Stripes. I have the eq on 2 and the gain on hi.

    grado sr80i clipping problem?

    Sorry I am a bit of a noob.  I was wondering if anyone could help me.  I have a pair of Grado SR80i and a fiio e11 headphone amp.  I like the sound of my grados a lot but I find when I turn them up on some bass heavy songs I get some clipping and have to turn the volume down so its clean again...
