I didn't read all 56 pages, but for people who order from logitech, the representative said the next batch is supposed to start shipping on the 18th... At least orders didn't get canceled.- a1m80t

Grados utterly horrible customer "service"
I always thought people just ignored all the copy and paste (or automated) BS that companies give out and focus on the whats important - will you fix it, and how much. For example: I worked for a company and i sent out similar short responses (as well as the rest of the RMA crew) and we...- a1m80t

Just picked up SR225's...
The sr225 needs a long burn in before they start to sound good and for the bass to kick in. An amp with a properly configured bass boost helps a lot. I would just play some pink noise on them for a few days and see how it turns out. If you still don’t like it, try a different brand of...- a1m80t

I'm set on it.
I always felt the zero was a huge risk to buy. If it doesn't work, you will have to send it to china, and the seller would probably make you eat shipping twice and that’s not cheap(at least $50, maybe double). Also if you buy a zero with the 50 dollar shipping fees and decide to return it, they...- a1m80t

First expensive headphone purchase
It’s hard to beat grados for pure sound and is my personal favorite, but it’s not without its compromises - leaking sound, questionable build quality, and comfort. The bass is also not as pronounced as some of the other headphones. For your friend part, keep in mind bose is mega popular and...- a1m80t

Grado SR60 v. SR80--what are the exact differences?
With a typical CD player and receiver at local audio store, the sr80 was noticeable better than the sr60. It wasn't huge, but it was there. I could justifiy a 20 dollar differences but not much more than that. In another view, the differences of a low quality mp3 vs good quality mp3/flac is a...- a1m80t
