I've been gone for two years. Are grados still the undisputed king of rock?
I am going to purchase a new pair of cans for rock music, but I wasn't sure if something new has come out that can rival the grados or even trump them when it comes to said music. Edit: I've noticed a new generation of grados has been released. What are the differences between those and the...- FlobHobNob

Looking for an IEM that is great for rock and under 100 dollars.
I'm not sure about the IEM's, but I know that bose headphones are usually over priced. Can anyone else verify that these are a good choice?- FlobHobNob

Quote: the pro500mk2 does not have a balanced sound at all. I would steer your more towards something like the shure srh840.- FlobHobNob

Your favorite guitar solos?
Somebody is a large fan of David Gilmour . I think my favorite solo is little wing by Hendrix. Although I really enjoy stevie ray vaughn's version too considering it's recorded much better.- FlobHobNob

I would say that an iPhone can only handle about 80ohm's. Even then, at 80 ohm's the headphones will sound way better with an amp. I'd honestly get an amp if you are going to buy headphones over 40 ohms.- FlobHobNob

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
How well do these suckers do every genre. I listen to everything and like a little boost in the bass. I just don't want the mids to be super recessed. I'm coming from some dt770's 80Ohm and looking for an upgrade.- FlobHobNob

Drums are still there and clear. They just aren't the center of attention. The drum rolls in "Tom Sawyer" by Rush are there and don't feel as if it is lacking. If you need a closed can the shure srh440 is always a great choice.- FlobHobNob

Quote: They have very forward mids making guitars and vocals cut through like butter. The highs are very extended making cymbal crashes sound very life like. Also, the bass isn't extremely prominent,, but extremely clean. This makes drums sound clear but no the focus of the music. If you...- FlobHobNob

Quote: If you want rock cans get the grado sr80i. There's nothing that comes close under 100 dollars for rock. Mind you, these are open headphones meaning they leak a whole lot of sound and the people sitting around you will be able to hear your music almost as clearly as you can. If...- FlobHobNob
