I plan on buying the HD650 soon, and have decided on Schiit Magni as the amp. Since i already have a Fiio Q1 driving the MSR7, figured why not use that as the DAC source for the Magni ? 3.5 mm to RCA converter from the back of the Q1 to the Schiit. Reason being that id hate the already lying Q1...

Comparing the Q1 here as i plan to build a desktop soon, so the DAC might help later. Right now using a monitor laptop setup, the Dell S2415H has a cool feature that's a headphone out, and the sound output is decent but not loud enough, and anyway once connected to laptop via HDMI the...

If rock music were the sole intent of listening , how would the two headphones compare , ignoring the price difference. I know that they are different types of headphones , one is iem and the other is on the ear , but just think the level of satisfaction and impact one would feel when listening...

I would get them actually , since I have read that they are the Grado sweet spot , but reading your initial experience on the comfort gave me doubt's about it at first . So are you able to wear them on for long hours without the scratchy sensation

So do you feel that the SR80 is better in terms of comfort than the 225 ? You could sell them to me however , if it comes in my budget :) 

Well said that , there were times when i got so analytic and obsessive that i forgot how to enjoy the music coming out of my cans 

Thanks Brian :) , yeeah will enjoy my shopping very soon  , all the best to you too

Hi , then that's great actually. Since im looking for a more forward and effective sound at the mid-range , and i already have a the UE6k that gives me the v sounding signature that don't do awesome with heavy metal. There was another doubt that puzzles me , about the sr225e. It has a thick...

@Sunshinereggae , thanks for drawing out a detail of the 880's . So do you feel that cleaner sound signature does better as in has a more lively effect for heavy metal , when compared to forward sounding Grado' s ?

Oh it ok , actually thanks for asking me to be clearer , helped in getting further answers perhaps

Thanks for your reply :)

Thanks , though I have time till I order them. Any comments on why is there a massive price difference between the two , when the grados do rock and other genres pretty well too

Thanks for the reply , So maybe i would go on and get a sr80e , the newer version when its available , currently its not in stock. I already have the ue6000 and it performs quite well overall

Any further replies please ? Would be greatfull

Thanks . So what do you feel about the newer sr80e version , since they "mellowed" the sound a bit , maybe cutting the harshness. I heard they added more bass and smoothened the nids , while maintaining the same sparkly highs.

I actually asked from a more general perspective , but speaking more specifically , which I appreciate you asking for , I am referring to the 250 ohm version. Unamped since I'm more or less certain that if powered well they may well trounce the sr80e's , and at present I don't want to spend...

Any opinions or conclusions on whether the Dt880 unamped still does better than the new sr80e , or are they at par ? Price considerations aside , which set of cans are more suited for rock and heavy metal songs ?

I recently purchased the UE6K and they are great for all genres , but i doubt they lac the speed when it comes to fast paced heavy metal. How do you feel the Grado e series perform , especially when ive read that the mids there too are a bit relaxed and the bass has been cranked up a notch. I...

Any has any idea about how the Grado sr80e compares to the Logitech UE6000 in terms of rock music purely ? I read that the sound of the e series is more relaxed and laid back for the mids , so does it reduce the effect heavy metal rock music might have ?

About your idea on a computer monitor base you can try attaching two black steel rods at either sides

You're right , the thing is I really want to make my own stand but I don't know how to go about it. I don't do any carpentry work and am looking to find new ideas.

Don't know what this is yet , made of lace and wires I wanted to hang em from a hook , but they ended up like a see saw , weighing scale ! Any ideas on how to improve these would be appreciated

Got mine yesterday so I'll tell you my views . first of all like many said they were a bit disappointing out of the box , but now on the second day I feel that a lot has improoved . First off the lows are superb ,and beautifully accentuated . the bass beats very well and precise although a...

So are you happy with your purchase ? did you actually get a chance to compare the two yourself ? frankly im considering buying out of the two , and my main concern is watching movies on my laptop other than listening to music of course.
