I owned the A900s for a while and the detail was there and it wasn't fatiguing, but it lacked punch and the mids were a little recessed. The bass was good, but compared to the Grados, a little boomy.

That's why I took back my post. I also read he preferred the 75s to the other Senns he listened to. It almost sounds like he wants to have it both ways...crisp detail without fatigue. It can be a double-edged sword.

Take that back.

I have a few expenses coming up and was thinking about taking on a temporary part time job. I've seen the ads for mystery shoppers, typists, pet food slingers and selling pen*s enhancers, etc. I was wondering if anyone actually tried these odd jobs and what were the results? Would I be better...

^^^^Now that would have been a wise investment.

I'm a Technical Writer....yeah....the instruction manuals. My girlfriend is a medical writer for a major pharmaceutical company.

The SR-80s are a little bit more money but will get you closer to the Grado sound than the SR-60s. The bowl pads provide more detail and a bit more soundstage and well worth the extra $$$.

nevermind

A lot of people use a mild detergent like Woolite, but a very small amount of dishwashing liquid should work. You don't want your headphones April fresh or anything like that.

Congrats on your purchase. This may sound like blasphemy, but I'm beginning to wonder if these are actually better than my RS-1s. Definitely on the same level. Regarding an amp, are you running these through your computer or another setup? If a computer, I highly recommend the E-MU 0404 USB...

Quote: Seems it's a 50/50 so far....is there a store in LA where I could try both headphones? DXC Store has a wall of headphones to try out. They are in Culver City. DXC STORE That would be the best way....try before you buy.

256 AAC stored on my hard drive. Lossless stored in a box ready to be placed into a CD player when needed. I guess I've never quite understood why people rip lossless. Hard drive space, while getting cheaper, is still more expensive than a box in the closet.

^^Wow...it sounds like she really dislikes the Grados.^^ What types of music will you be listening to? The SR-60s come with comfies and not bowl pads. Not too many complaints about the SR-60s regarding comfort, but the bowl pads receive mixed reviews.

If you can stretch your budget a little, the Logitech z-2300 sound very good for the price. Otherwise, the Logitech X-540 are also excellent for the price as well.

I tend to stay within just a few genres, but bounce around between artists within them.

I'm pretty torn. Right after the 3G nano came out, I didn't like its fat shape and purchased an 8GB 2G because it's easier to carry while exercising. I downloaded iTunes 8 this morning for my PC and played with Genius for a while and love it. Creating playlists manually sucks. Now that the 4G is...

Congrats on your purchase. Even after going up and down the Grado line, I still come back to these. The balance between bass and highs is just right, not to mention they'll grab hold of your ears and take you on a wild ride.

Yes...the SR-80 is much better for rock. I owned the A900s at one point. They were good for movies and trance, but not much else.

We need more info about your preferred music types, listening habits, and environment before making an intelligent recommendation. There may be a can out there that's better suited than either of these.

Wow...impressive. I went to their web site and saw a pic of them at the Hollywood Bowl. It looks like they're based out of Orange County, CA. A lot of those tribute bands do quite well and are able to quit their day jobs. One band, the Cured (Cure tribute band) was able to afford to purchase...

I really like that store. Their staff is very friendly. They let me demo the GS-1000 without any pressure or hassles. I would always try to drop a little bit of money every time I went in even if it was only a CD. It's unfortunate they're no longer in Santa Monica. I would always take dates to...

The Alessandro MS-1 is a good headphone for your needs. They sound great with guitars and are more analytical than their Grado counterparts. They're open, so some sound may leak in/out.

I've been through it twice...once with the dot com blow up and another time with the mortgage meltdown. What got me through the first time was a book called "What Color is Your Parachute?". Loads of good information. The local unemployment office also helped me tremendously...they gave me...

I'm pretty new too. Most of this I've collected in the last year: 5449, 15.7 days, 38.01 GB I subscribe to eMusic (100 tracks per month) and that's all I can handle. I only listen to music a couple of hours per day. It's really time consuming finding good music.
