These headphones sound fantadtic! With the E18 amp even beter!

So I combined both mods and figured I'd say something here about it since I couldn't find anything discussing it...   Using a single layer of electrical tape around my bowls increased bass as we all know   Removing the tape and wrapping my bowls with cut up dress socks (I promise they...

Hey everyone, I am contemplating on getting the M100, however I want to hear a few of your opinions on how it is for heavy music. I listen mostly to metalcore and hardcore music.   some examples bands are: 1) Bullet For My Valentine 2) As I Lay Dying 3) A Day To Remember 4) Of Mice...

Hey guys and gals, long time lurker, figured I would do a little write up on my journey to having wooden headphones.   Let me set the scene: I am college student and I was looking for a pair of hi-fi headphones to start me on my journey of audio equipment. I ended up going with the grado...

I've been lurking head-fi for quite a while, and the forum quite influenced me on my last pickup of IEM's (GR07's) and I've decided to make an account And now, I've decided on getting a full-sized pair, and I'm currently looking at the Senn HD598's Would these be a great pickup, or are there...

Please can someone help me decide if MY SR225i are fitted with 'i' drivers or 'e' drivers.   I had not heard of this before googling just out of curiosity for SR225i reviews. I found a thread about the 'e' series, and on page 24 a discussion about 'e' drivers in 'i' models. The idea was that...

I might get the sr325is or the sr225i, I also was considering the Alessandro ms2i. My budget is around 300 and I only want one of the 3 mentioned, which one has the most bass? Which one has the shortest cable? Does the Alessandro have a 3.5mm plug instead of the 1/4"? I want to crank the...

This is another one of my blog posts and just like the Sennheiser HD 439 review, I want to post it to Head-Fi to get some input from you guys on your thoughts on the Pro 900's.  As with the HD 439 review, I am sorry for the lack of pictures.  I do not yet have the proper Head-Fi privileges to...

So I've done a lot of research, both on this website and all over the Net, but since I'm in college and live in an area where I can't audition high-end IEM's, I really need some help. I know y'all get frustrated with "which headphone" threads, since this is a highly subjective topic, so I'm...

Hi. Im going to buy either the sennheiser 518 or 558. I have the money for the 558 but is it worth it? I tried both headphones and was very pleased but i couldnt compare them because they were at different stores. How do the monentum compare to these?

I have been searching through threads and through review sites for several hours and find myself going in circles on what headphones I should be looking at buying. I have never spent more than $20 on a pair of headphones before and I am willing to put down $100-$300 for a nice pair. I have been...

Hi   I've just bought some ex demo 225is, and they come with the caveat that they have cosmetic damage to one of the speaker cables. Seeing as I got them for just less than £140, and knowing there's a 30 day return period, I was prepared to go for it anyway.   So, my question is could...

Found out that a while ago, that my Shure 840s don't respond too well to the Little Dot 1+. Now I don't want to sell my LD, because I had spent a lot of time and money buying tubes an op amps for the little thing. It'd be a huge waste of time and research just to sell it tbh. I wanna keep it...

I mainly listen to rock music and would like an open headphone and am not sure what to get... Help! :-) Djlaz7:-)

Hello I am currently in the market for a headphone amp that would match up well with my Grado sr225's also have akg k172 hd's (use much less but sitll want something to power them well), and in the next year plan to replace them with b&w p7's. I have little experience with and therefore have...

Does anyone have a thread on how to rewire these babies? I'm really new to the modding thing... sorry... :( Could anyone rewire them for me? Thanks!

Hey all, I'll be picking up the Grado 225i very soon and I'm looking into getting my first amp/dac for it as well. The amp/dac's that I've been looking at are:   Audio-gd Sparrow (Version B) Audinst  HUD-MX1 Little Dot I+ and a separate dac(don't know what to get)   If anyone has any...

Not sure where to post this and apologies in advanced if its a repost, but here goes:   For those looking for an excellent pair of Rock/Metal cans, look no further! RRP $200 Price with code: $171 Promotional Code: sr225 <- added on your cart and then click on "Update Totals"...

Hi all,   I'm looking for a dac in order to feed my newly purchased Bx8a as well as newly aquired sr225i's   The Bx8a promote a Balanced input and well i do not have any cash for a decent headphone amp right now.   Then have found this on ebay!  ...

So I have received a new pair of Grado 225I's and a E7 FiiO DAC/amplifier.   I'l be making a review in a couple weeks of use but my gripe right now is the cord. I want it smaller and I want it detachable.   So here is a nice blueprint I have made:     Not sure how that looks to...

I have run into an issue with my Grado's cable right where it meets the 1/4 jack. If it's wiggled around a bit the sound changes quite dramatically. Sometimes the left channel picks up the right and if I fiddle with it I can hear some static.    I'm wondering if anyone has experience with...

Hey HeadFi community,   I spent the last 10 hours or so browsing and reading about headphones. My birthday is coming up so I decided to treat myself to a present :)   I need headphones for home use. I have a laptop, but I'm going to buy the Asus Xonar U1 external sound card, which...

I heard the 225s and loved them, and I'm in a situation where I can get a MS1 and a decent dac/amp(E10 maybe?) for a similar price or less.   Which is better? Have only heard the MS1s briefly though, my friend liked them however.   On another note, are they only good for rock/metal...

Hello all,   I've been recently inspired to attempt a recable of my old Sr-225's. I'm a bit limited by budget, so I'm looking into Homegrown Audio for some 24 awg braided silver cables. However, I'm a bit unsure as to what braiding use for the cable. Specifically, I know that the newer...

   I've just brought some SR225i cans and about to purchase a HRT streamer II and am in need of some input  as to what valve amp to get. The LD Mk II is my budget, is there a better choice? or maybe a build your own kit?   Thank you.
