I had three Grados and I fell in love with all of them. After my first SR-60 I bought an SR-325i, and when the cable broke I went for a MS-1 (with bowls). Which also broke. In the cable. Like 10 minutes ago while rewatching Breaking Bad Season 5. I love the Grado sound, I love the fact it's...

Candidates, for now:   -Altec Lansing Can't say I'm a fan of the look, but the reviews are positive. url: http://international.alteclansing.com/iceland/index.php?file=north_product_detail&iproduct_id=imt620   -Logitech i715i: ugly as hell, but seems has the best price-quality...

Thanks for the reply. Bose is over budget, but Logitech seems ok -- it was already in my options -- but I'd like have some impressions here from HF about the sound quality, considering most of the review I find are not from audio enthusiast site. 

I know it's not the kind of device that makes you think about audio quality, but I need one and I'm looking for something good enough to set up in a work environment and for traveling. It has to be compatible with the non-Lighting iPod Touch and I need one with a *battery*. Price range is up...

Oki, thanks to all, I'll go for the DX :J

Except for the boost in volume, does the headphone amplifier really gives more quality? I got one on my current Audiotrak but as I said, I can't seem to notice a jump in quality so I basically I never use it (should I?).   What's the best choice without the headphone amp?

I'm planning to change my good old Audiotrak Prodigy because Windows 8 doesn't like the Windows XP 64bit driver I'm using (it's like 7 years old) and most of the time the OS need a restart to hear sounds.  All I need is a budget card with decent output to drive my 2.0 old hi-fi and my...

~70€, mainly rock. I already have IEMs but I'm not confortable running with them.  

Hi, I'm looking for a mid-size headphone for *outdoor* use for my iPod classic or Shuffle. Grados or giant cans are out of question, I'm planning to use them while running.    Any suggestion?

Two emails and 10 days and no replies from George. Is that normal? I desperately need a MS1 cause I'm listening throu a pair of 12€ TDK cans...

They are even uglier. Construction and materials are ridiculous for the low-mid line. They are anti-ergonomic, probably overrated and overpriced. And I'm about to buy my third pair.

They totally leak, at the point you should pay attention at the volume in the night if you don't wanna wake up the neighbors (no, this is not a joke). How much of the external world you can hear is probably just related to the volume. Are the two hphones big? It depends, the MS2 has quite a...

Consider the fact that the new SR80i comes with the cheapo pads, not the bowls. That's a huge minus, IMO. Oh, and they are uglier. But that's irrilevant.
