I have compared songs that were CD ripped to ALAC and the Mastered for iTunes track bought from the store with my Grado 125i headphones.   As a casual listener with mid or entry level audio equipment, I found little difference between the ALAC and the Mastered for iTunes tracks. These...

Marantz's High-end Audiophile Test Demo SACD - 15th Edition sounds great with Grado's. I bought it for my home theater use but when I was browsing the album's booklet, I read that the 225i's were used in recording the album. So, I tried listening to it with my Grado's and it sounds fantastic! I...

I read that it is also a Jazz slang for headphones. I understand when someone does not like to use the term. Sometimes we love headphones so much, one way to respect and appreciate the headphones is to call and address properly as headphones. Quote: I, too, agree with this.

Haven't been called out yet, but I've been wearing my Grados to school lately, and I find it interesting to see people with puzzled faces seeing me wearing a WWII era - looking headphones. :D

Good Day Head-Fi community!   I need help deciding on what will be my next purchase. I currently have the Grado SR125i. This is my first serious headphone and I really love the sound it gives me. I'm now thinking of going up the Grado ladder and purchase one of their high-end models.  ...

Wow! I'm gonna look for it on our local stores. I want to collect their albums. :D     Quote:     I would also like to add to my first suggestion these albums:   1. Beatles Jazz by Modern Gustin Trio 2. The Very Best of Diana Krall by Diana Krall 3. Any Dave Matthews...

I own a Grado 125i and also listen to rock, jazz and classical music often. I was planning to buy the 325is as my 2nd Grado but the 1st really high-end headphones.   I got to try the 325is in our local store and found it, indeed harsh. I mean, it kinda hurts when I listened to the cymbals...

One of the funniest reactions was the time at the office. I went to my co-workers desk and showed him my new Grado 125i. Then I let him listen to 1 track and he love the sound quality.   Then after 2 songs,   "I feel sleepy wearing your headphones." he said. (I think it's because of the...

All Acoustic Alchemy, a Smooth Jazz band that specializes on acoustic guitar, albums sounds great on any Grado. I haven't heard their new album, Roseland, but I'm sure it'll sound great as well.   I particularly like their albums that were released by Higher Octave and GRP. Both record...

Thank you very much for all who posted sharing their knowledge regarding the two headphones. I already have the iGrado and SR-125i and thinking of selling the 125i. I think I'm going for the RS-1 since both of them are pricey for me, I might as well wait a little longer and save more money to...
