Hi guys! That's a very nice forum! I checked here a lot of reviews and opinions but I'm not able to choose! Please help me!  I need to choose a nice headphone or headset for music and gaming. I have a Sound Blaster Z like source and my budget is around $200. A feature that interest me...

So on my 225s that I love, I now realize how much I dislike the standard Grado headband. my SR80s have a wide leather one that is fairly comfortable. But this vinyl one isn't so great. I was curious, I've seen the beyer headbands that snap on ( 770s and 880s i believe ) and I'm wondering if...

hi, I'm fairly new here and I was just wondering if anyone could help me decide what I should buy? I have narroved it down to these candidates: Sennheiser momentum Sennheiser hd650 V-moda m-100 Grado 225i I mainly listen to Rock/metal and was wondering witch one would e the best for that...

I know there are countless posts of this question even a few from me so i apologize but i just don't know when to pull the trigger! But,  I just want more peoples opinions one more time before i do end up buying a new pair of headphones. I already own M-audio q40s to be my bassy headphones...

Hi,   I posted in the advice thread but it seemed to get overlooked so I though I would try this So I am after some new headphones sometime in the future as I still haven't replaced my last pair which bit the dust. Now to the fun bit, my music tastes: So my main music taste is...

Hello all. I have been reading for days on this site and I am really struggling with a new purchase. I have owned a pair on cheap Sennheisers (can’t find them at the moment), a pair of Bose AE2 and a pair of B&W P3. I returned the Bose and bought the B&W P3 and then returned the P3s as I just...

'm lookin for some good headphones to listen to Pink Floyd. now i listen to them with my grado iGi and i like it. it could be better, but it's fine. I made the mistake of buying the ath m50 and i didn't liked them (the singer seems to be behind a curtain or something) and now im...

Hey all. The headphones i use most often are Etymotic EPT4s. They are convenient and i enjoy the sound from my Fiio X3. However when i use my Denon AHD2000s i can pick out instruments that i cant with the ETYs. I also get better sound stage. I have a pair of Grado SR225i which also give more...

I need new headphones for rock and some rap for home use I also have fiio e07k amp Which phones would be the best?

Hey all. Long time member who hasn't been around for a number of years. Ended up completely forgetting my old username and pass. I think the last time I posted here, we had a different president. o_O   Anyway, I'm in the market for some new cans, and wanted the expert advice. I currently...

I'm having a problem with what I think are the so called "Scooped mids" in my AKG K240 headphones. They lack detail in some areas like fast and loud music. Things tend to sound distant, like I was in the back of the audience listening to a rock concert. I have to EQ the treble up and it still...

So today I walked into a small shop in Minneapolis ( needle doctor) to pick up a pair of sr60i's for another modding project... And I ended up auditioning most of the grado line. I loved the rs1, the detail was simply awesome (love those mids and highs) the bass was very good compared to every...

Currently all my headphones are Grados (80i, 225i, 325i). Plus i have some PS500s and semi-vintage RS1s on the way. I doubt i will keep all 5 and assuming i get rid of all the SR series i would be interested in getting a nice set of closed headphones. Looking to spend $300-$400 (used). I would...

I don't know how to really start this post but this has been on my mind for a while. So a few weeks back I attended my first official Head-Fi meet. For days I was excited about getting to listen to many of the headphones I had dreamed about one day owning coming from rigs that cost as much as my...

I don't recall having a single audiophile friend, family, or acquintence. Never really listened to expensive headphones before either but one day just for the heck of it decided to buy a pair of grado 225i. A lot of my friends and my bro thought i was crazy since it was $200 and frankly i...

Hey guys, heard about this site from a friend. I was told if im looking for headphones, this is the place to be.    So... Im looking for the best headphones for around $200. Can go a little over $200 if its worth it. What i mean by "best" is sound quality. Im not too interested in looks. ...

Hey head-fi. Ive become disappointed with all these dark/neutral headphones concerning rock. Id overall like the headphones to be bright. Thanks In Advance!

I purchased a pair of Audeze LCD2s last week and I am seriously considering returning them and eating the $150 restocking fee :-(  The LCD2's are paired with an O2 ODAC and the source is CDs and Spotify premium.  The LCD2s replaced the Grado SR-225is.   Compared to the Grado SR225is....the...

I wanna try and get the sr325i or sr225i, or something else and id like to be able to easily eq them, especially the bass.   Thanks!!!!!

I am wanting to re-cable my new SR 225 so I can have the mini-plug to be used for portable use and to shorten up the cord some. Is this possible for me to do or should I get it done. I use these strictly as portable and won't use it without using mini and even though I can use the adapter I...

I found this link on Amazon, I've finally decided to upgrade the cushions.   http://www.amazon.com/Ear-Zonk-Replacement-Headphone-Cushion/dp/B00BW4XQZ4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413835782&sr=8-2&keywords=grado+cushions+l   SR80i isn't listed, but would this fit? The 225 is built the exact same...

So I very recently got some 225is (having no experience in open phones)  and i really like the sound but there are a few factors that are extremely annoying. No isolation at all, making it hard to listen without interruption , Everyone complains about leakage and honestly the comfort lacks(...

I ask this because I recently received the Mad Ear amp and the amp was designed around the HD-600s and Grados so I had huge expectations. I do have the oldest version of the HD-600s (black cloth drivers) but I was left unimpressed (same with Sr-225, biggest difference in sound was bass quality...

I'm highly considering getting the Alessandro MS-2e after auditioning my friend's MS-1e (the drivers are red) and have noticed they actually compare very favorably to my old Grado SR-225. The MS-1e to my ear has a much more 3d presentation to the music, air and separation is much greater for...
