Hi people. I'm using a Pure I-20 dock and iPod 160GB to feed a Schiit Bifrost DAC and Asgard amp. My headphones are the Grado SR325is. It sounds pretty amazing but never happy I've decided to upgrade my headphones. My budget is £700. What do you guys suggest?

Pros: Vocal close to being intimate. Adapts to the song easily. Balanced and bass happy though not too happy to overwhelm in any way. EQ helps. Cons: Not very open, not such a big soundstage, highs could have been a bit better. Not for treble lovers. Departure from Grado sound. Intro: I got...

I hear all kinds of music from classic to heavy metal to trance and the list goes on I had heard great things on both of them and told that they are close to etch other in sound signature, So what will be the best choice?

This is the seventh in my comparisons of three headphones, all using a group of 10 tests and scored by ranking their performance on each test as first, second, and third place.  I call this the "Test of the 500s" -- each model number is either equal to or in the 500s, and the cost of each of...

To date I have published four three-way comparisons of various combinations of my headphones:   Grado PS500, HiFIMan HE-500, and Sennheiser HD 598, (here; Sennheiser HD 598, Beats Studio 2013, and Beats Pro, (here; Sennheiser HD 598 NAD VISO hp50, and Beats Pro, (here; Parrot Zik, Beats...

Being that the old thread was closed, we need a new one. Please keep it civil guys... This is a thread all about Headphone Lounge Cables made by Ted Allen. Post pictures, comments, and whatever eye candy you have that he made!

Friends,   I have a pair of PS500s I want to plug into my new iPhone 5S however the new Tech21 case I have on it which I like and prefer to keep has an opening that is not wide enough for the standard adapter.   Are there connectors on the market that will either take an existing 1/4 inch or...

Any recommendations for a portable amp that would pair well with my Grado PS500? Unfortunately, I prefer having my audio equipment as portable as I possibly can, so I mainly use my iphone 5 as my audio source. Since my listening sessions come mainly from a portable music player, do I need to...

Hello,   I'm somehow newbie into headphones world but with high expectations. I've tried few models so far, "entry" models like Grado SR125 , Philips M1 and Sennheiser Momemtum. This was quite OK especially for the Grado but I'm looking for another animal that could give me the thrill...

I searched and couldn't find a fan club for Grados in general. I have only listened to the SR80is and LOVE them. I love how these cans really bring rock to life. I hope to someday try some more high end Grados. I want to see how the Grado "house sound" changes throughout the line up. 

I would like us with delicate and sensitive ears to share our experiencis as to which headphones work for us and which ones do not. Give examples of both the worst and the best headphones for us proned with tinnitus and hyperakusis. I developed severe tinnitus and hyperakusis after having bougt...

I am in the market for a higher end pair of Grados and a headphone amp. Currently I have a pair of 225is that I plan to sell. After a couple years with the 225is i have definitely become a fan of Grado's but I would like to upgrade and have something a little less bright. I listen to a lot of...

Hey guys, I'm scheduled for Lasik surgery, which means I'm getting back into the headphone world. I used to own a pair of RS1i's which I loved, but due to the pressure, my ears pressed against the legs of my glasses and I couldn't listen to them for more than 30 minutes without experiencing...

  Grado PS 500 Professional Series Headphone   Come one. Come all. It has been hard as hell keeping this one under tight lips, but I can finally spit it out:) I was lucky enough to visit Grado Labs this summer to take a look at the new PS 500 headphone and listen to it briefly. It is very...

I don't know if this has been posted yet but apparently Grado is releasing new PS500 Grado's.     Discuss.   http://gradolabs.com/page_headphones.php?item=d591958ec49fad264e22d3a4ce8777ff

Hey Head-Fi Gang,   Yep, it's true -- another new killer headphone from John Grado & company is coming in a couple of weeks and we'll have it here at HeadRoom as an authorized Grado dealer. Judging from the looks and early buzz on the streets, the PS500 seems to offer a similar acoustic...

HI All,   Grado Labs has released and will start shipping soon the PS500 headphone. It is a headphone in the line of the PS1000 only supraural and less expensive. It sells for $595 and you can preorder yours now at TTVJ here     And last week we received a great review from...

Just as the title states. Anyone order a set? I went ahead and preordered a set from Todd but Im hoping for impressions to come out. Definitly hoping someone with HF2s gets a set and compares. They should be on their way to people by now I think.

Can't decide on which way to go here, so push me one way or the other off the fence:   MINT Grado GS-1000 $630 or pre-order Grado PS-500????   Thanks in advance.

The other canjam listening impression thread has turned into the LCD3 only thread. So has anyone there listened to the PS500s yet? Compared to the HF2s?

My budget is about $700.  Open headphones.  Music genres: rock, acoustic, pop, rnb, hip hop, classical   Help me decide please!
