Hey guys,   So I was reminiscing on my old sr125i's that I had modified with wooden cups (that I've since sold), and I'm really thinking that I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger and get some new wooden cups to put on my 325i's. I'm sort of out of the loop so who/what companies still are...

I've seen suggestions for the Grado SR225i but not to go any higher since the tracks are so old and only remastered. I've got a good collection of remastered Beatles cd's and I want to do them justice. Price range is around $200-$250,new or used. Source would be an Onkyo disk player and the...

Greetings valued Audiophiles I am still confused about Solid and Valve headphone amplifers I currently have a Grado sr80i, and HD 650. I am planning later on to upgrade to A Grado gs100i or HD 800. And what would bring out the best sound from these headphones A SOLID OR VALVE. Some advantages...

Haha, I was just reminiscing about my first headphone purchase. I asked for a pair of Samson SR850's for my 10th birthday. At the time mind you, $50 seemed like a ton of money. Anyways, I grew up listening to good sound, and I got hooked. I now own 2 pairs of Senns, AKG Q701, and Grado SR80's...

Hi,   I'm looking for some advice. I need a pair of closed headphones for use in bed as my wife gets disturbed by the bleed of open backs.   My setup is Spotify on Iphone 4s into Pure i-20 into X-Cans v3. I would love to change the X-Cans but don't have the budget right now.   My usual...

I was Google Imaging "anime headphones", looking for anything with PX100's or SR80's..but I found this crazy pic within the results!

Can someone confirm if Grado actually makes them in house ? For those that did the factory tour, did you guys actually see them making the drivers, like winding the copper coil onto the drivers and them forming the diaphrams and assembling them together or you just saw them inserting the...

Hi good people. I'm looking to buy another pair of headphones and my budget is £100 or less. Here's what I currently own and how I'd describe their sound - 1. Shure SRH-840 (full size closed-back cans which sound generally neutral to my ear). 2. Sennheiser PX100II (lightweight open-back cans...

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 am looking into buying new headphones, but i am not really sure which ones to get. Right now the one i am leaning to is the ath m50x but i am not sure if it is the right one for me. My music tast is very strange. I listen to hip hop, rock, edm, dubstep, reggae, and some other sub-genres...

My very first post.   Recently, an uncle who moved to Australia (I guess he didn't outgrow his love of kangaroos as a kid! :-) handed me down his Maverick Tubemagic D1+.     Anyways,...  I am a measly factory worker with a somewhat limited budget of $250-$300, searching for a pair of closed...

Hey!   I always thought beats were ridiculously overrated/priced and never got a pair even when they became the craze on my basketball team. I'm about to head off to college in SoCal now and I decided its time for me to spend the money to get a nicer pair of headphones. I always like to...

I'm looking to buy a pair of open backed cans probably around 150 with a bit of leeway for price.  I'd like to be able to use them on a laptop so preferably no amp necessary.  I also would like them to be pretty comfortable ( I have the Brainwavz HM5 and I can wear them for hours).  Any...

I have sr80 and I want to take out the driver from the ring shape cylinder (I want to take out the drivers like this picture) so I can put magnum drivers. Should I use super glue remover to take them out? I think grado use the super glue to attach the driver and the cylinder. Any suggestion...
