The GradoLand is becoming more and more exciting :) I really enjoy my new headphones. First, they really let me experience true emotions in music. Their sound is complete, as if everything was in the right place. Wow, that's truly amazing. I love their energy and lively presentation. When I was...

Hello from a new Grado SR225e owner. In head to head comparison they were so much better in their price range (HIFIMAN HE-400I, Sennheiser HD 600, Beyerdynamic DT 880). I love their clear, detailed, natural, so lively and energetic sound. I'm super satisfied.   Regards, Adam

Hi all,   I'm looking for a pair of decent IEMs, mostly for home use (studying at night). The source is an iMac or iPod Touch 4th gen. Music is mainly prog-rock and electronica, however I want something universal. What I like is clear, detailed, warmish to natural and dynamic sound, with...

Hi all,   After selling my previous setup (Heed Dactilus + Heed Canamp + K701), I'm thinking about returning to headphones. What I have is an iMac and music in lossless format - mostly in 16/44.1. What I want is: a) a pair of very comfortable and universal cans and b) USB/Firewire DAC/amp...

So far I have tried bi- and triflanges and I'm using medium size normal cushions right now. The triflanges are a bit too small and too long for my ear canals and do not isolate that well. Besides, sound is too lean and bass is missing. Biflanges are a slightly too large and uncomfortable. Medium...

My silver M11 has arrived today. I'm impressed by their build quality - cable, IEMs, carrying pouch, cushions (still not tested them) - everything looks nice, solid and very well build. They are very light and quite comfortable (I'm using double flange) and isolate pretty well. Out of the box...

While waiting for my M11, I have tested a pair of supra-aural Sennheiser HD 228. Unfortunately, this is not the sound that I could live with. I have no experience with Sennheisers (apart from some inexpensive earbuds - MX 400 or 500), but if they share some characteristics with higher...

Yes, Nick has summarized the issue very correctly. And since the human beliefs are the root of evil, it is very difficult (if possible) to persuade them that there are no differences - even when facing purely scientific and thus objective arguments people use the...

Headphones for chamber and vocal music with good quality : price ratio? Easy, K701 with some decent SS amp. I love the way chamber music sounds with my inexpensive, yet very satisfying system.

It seems that there is no problem with international shipping (7USD to the EU). After reading reviews posted here I decided to order the M11. I'm a bit worried about my ear-canals, which might be incompatible with the M6 and some people preferred M11 over M6 in terms of SQ. Will report here when...
