I only have a burson conductor at home..the grados sound very nice with the amp but from what i read in the answers here a nice tube amp would be worth to try out too

checked-out the album- super nice. thank you!

Thank you for the response, which is very much appreciated! I am very curious about pairing the grados with a tube amp!

Awesome, I’ll make sure to check it out! Thank you!

Sounds nice! Way back I was playing guitar but if I would pick up an instrument again it would most definitely be the bass guitar! I love how it gives music its foundation and groove and good bass players and bass lines make music so much more enjoyable. Unfortunately often times the guitar...

Awesome, thanks buddy, much appreciated! And greetings to Vienna-beautiful city : )

No I think you are right. I also see the sponge/foam pads as part of the sound so it doesn bother me at all. The style is also pretty cool, for sure. I go for the sound, so all good. But it just seems that the construction is very basic for that kinda money. But all good, its the sound I pay for!

It seems like you enjoy the gs3000x alot and you seem to have quite some knowledge about headphones/Grados. Would you have a suggestion for a nice amp/dac to pair the gs3000x with? Or what do Grados go well with in general? Would be much appreciated!

Bass of the gs3000x is actually really good. sure sub-bass seemes rolled-off but overall its really good...tight, nice texture, pretty satisfying...I am not a bass head and do not listen to alot of hip hop or techno or such over headphones but I do listen to a lot of music where quality bass...

hahahah...I hear you...but that doesnt stop me from listening to it. For my taste I have to make much greater sacrifices in the construction quality...these earpads...and actually everything except the chassis...shouldnt be supposed to be like that with cans over 2K...but then again the sound is...

It is indeed a beautiful sounding headphone. Very different from others I heard so far. Do you have any amp suggestions for it?

True! And yeah, prices are going nuts. So many headphones blew that cost over like 3k

Yeah I come from speakers so haven’t tried out that many headphones yet. So far I spent quite some time with the hd800s, oppo pm2 a few years back, and the audeze lcd2… I like the gs3000x a lot. As you said, sounds very airy and alive. Just asking myself how it would stack up against some others….

To be honest, that is one thing I am very disappointed about. I got a nice grado and love the sound but the finishes (except the Cocobolo housings) look kinda line DIY…

I mean it goes back a little to how much of a difference one can even hear between lets say 1,2,3 or 6K headphones. I mean, guess this is the wrong place for that discussion haha..but I do think this is a game of great diminishing returns. I was just wondering if grados can kinda keep up some...
