Hey guys! Okay so. Basically, i have no idea of anything about headphones and stuff, but i've been wanting to change my Sennheiser PX 200-ii for awhile now. I am looking around and i've always wanted Studio beats for awhile now... but after reading reviews on the net it has said to be easily...

Hi Guys I am currently looking for a Ingrated Amplifier i.e NAD,Cambridge or Rega for my Sr80i. I am currently playing my Grado's through the Headphone socket of my MSI laptop. The files that I am playing are high-res Flac and Wav files, Aslo had planned to buy an external dac .i.e cambridge...

Hi everyone, I have a pair of Grado SR80s that had the plug rewired by someone who does this as a hobby. He is really good. The headphones play fine except that the left driver is completely OUT. Does anyone know if Grado would still repair these or are they going to get mad because the...

Hello all, this is my first post on head-fi.org so sorry if I lack of precision and sorry for my bad english (I'm an Italiano guy).   I'm going to have a total audio hardware upgrade and the first step to it is the choiche of the headphones. In these years i just owned a crappy pair of...

I've done a couple searches on this topic and they're all pretty old. Any recommendations on a Amp for a casual listener of House music? Within a 90 dollar limit. I've been hearing good things on the FiiO E7.

so, not to long ago i discovered how much better losless music is and have wanted to upgrade to nice headphones for a while.  now that my old $20 dollar one is going bad on one side so I figure I can now replace it =P.   anywho, I've been looking around and think the m-audio q40, ath- m50, or...

Today my sr80s arrived and i noticed that when i turn the volume up/down i can hear a strange sound coming from the left pad... Have you ever experienced a similiar problem with these and other cans? I never experienced so i need you to tell me if i should send back the cans or what...

Hi guys,   I've recently got myself a Grado SR80i, it's an awesome headphone! But I don't like the cable and the 3.5 mm jack is way to loose in all my jack sockets. So I got myself a nice neutrik jack. But my question is about the cable, I've got some blue Tasker C280 wire lying around. It's...

I know... different closed phones of different prices, and open phones....cant compare, right?     Lets say im trying to have decent sound and keep the sound relatively isolated, i dont listen to my music too loudly, so i dont think the open phones would leak too much...   out of the...

Looking for advice regarding several options I am considering.   I have Grado SR80i headphones. I have read the conflicting opinions regarding whether it's worth amping the Grado SR80i. Not sure what to believe. That said, I *have* the headphones, I have to get an amp of some kind for Xbox...

Hey guys, after reading a ton of reviews on headphones, the issue of an amp comes up. I just have no idea what to get or how to research it. The two headphones above are the two that I would be using on it. I put the thread on full size as that's what I'm most likely to get, but really have no...

Hi all, im very new to this and im just wondering which headphone to buy. i know they are very different headphones but at the moment they are my best options (all are available within a short driving distance and are all selling for a good price. 50-70$) unfortunatley I have a limited budget...

Hello citizens of Head-Fi,org,   New to the forums, but not so new to the site. While not an audiophile (cannot afford it yet!), I am a tad snobbish when it comes to sound. Picked up a Grado SR-60 five years ago without even trying them, simply based on reviews and comments at head-fi and...

I currently own a pair of FA-011s and I was looking for a worthwhile upgrade. I was looking into Grado in general and the SR80i kinda popped out to me. Then there's the SR125i - are they better than the SR80i? I really like my 011s, so how does the sound signature compare? Any other...

I keep looking in the forums and people state that portable mp3s are bad audio sources... But mp3 players are the only kind of source I own or know about other than my laptop. What is a good source? Sorry for newb question but completely new to this scene. It would be great if emphasis on use...

I'm looking for a HP to use with an unamped iPod. I don't have problems with leakage, portability and comfort, but it must have some isolation because I'll use it a lot on the bus.   After searching for a good time at Head-Fi, I still don't know which HP I must buy. I listen to death...

 ***Please note this is not the final review but first impressions, it will be refined later***   Grado SR80i Review   These are my first Grado cans and they looked beautiful the first time I saw them. The first impression I got from looking at these was they were some retro headphones from...

I recently purchased a new pair of Grado SR80i's since I owned some about 15yrs ago and knew I would enjoy them and I was desperate to replace my previous horrible sounding cheap phones. They came with comfies but I thought they sounded a bit veiled and flat with stock comfies and too forward/...

Grado SR80i's to 325is's......   Loving my Grado SR80i's but it's getting old moving them between the computer room and the living room. So I was thinking of getting 325is's.   what can I expect?    

So i'm looking to finally graduate to some full size cans after exclusively using shure iem's for a while.   My choice has come down to these two. I listen to every kind of music though predominantely indie guitar rock, hip hop and jazz. I'm also going to use these to game and watch...

Hi all,   I have a Xi-Fi HD and a pair of Grado SR80i. I love the sound of the Grados on my hi-fi seperates, but on the xi-fi HD, the sound is very electronic and the treble far, far too harsh. I am looking for a warmer sound for my FLAC rips.   I work in IT and was finding I am spending...

Both are almost in the same price range (Amazon), both look nice, but, I can't buy both....     I'm kind of inclined right now to the q460's because of the mic option + nice case that comes with it.     Which one is more suited for listening to hip-hop,R&B and pop music from an Ipod...

Which would be the better all around phones i listen to mostly stuff like the beatles,oasis,rolling stones but i do like opera music and synth pop like la roux and of 80s pop would you suggest either one of these headphones? i m looking for a set $100 or under. 

...I'm going to buy a sr80i, for which I saved up literally by eating less at lunch for a month. The store I'm buying have a pretty friendly returns policy, which makes me doubt. How can I be sure the cans I'm buying is not already bough, briefly used and returned by somebody else. Can I trust...
