imho, the Sony EX71's are a pretty solid. I know you say you'd prefer they weren’t earphone's (I assume you're talking in ear's here) but these aren't like normal in ear phones like the sort you get with pretty much everything these daysc (At least here in the UK). They're Canal Phone's, and...

Sasha - Airdrawndagger when i got my 650's and again when i got my amp.

OK, sorry to bring up a thread that seemed to offend some people, so once again, this is my opinion. I am now in possession of both a Graham Slee Slee solo (which Sennheiser themselves consider the 'Daddy' here in the uk) and a HPI-MKII. Well, after listening to many styles of music, on...

Well, after lots (and lots) of faffing around, i've finally purchased a headphone amp. I've decided to go for the Graham Slee Solo which i hope is a good partner for the 650's. Recently thinking maybe the grado sound was more for me after buying the SR80's, but missing out on the HF-1's (Emailed...

<IMHO> Wow, Didn't expect to wake up to all that. I apologise about starting that as it was not my attention. I always assume that unless otherwise stated, the auther was always meaning to put imho first, which is what a forum is. (i'll edit the title accordingly). Sifting through, i...

Quote: Originally Posted by ScubaSteve87 I can also see how you would prefer the Grado sound in general to the Senn sound, but I think what is really holding you back is your amplessness and maybe your source? I don't really know much about CD players, you might also need to look into a...

Quote: Originally Posted by Teerawit Yep it seems you like the Grado signature more. If you want a higher model that sounds more like the SR-80 I would look into the HF-1 over the SR325i. 325i to me is a hit or miss that is worthy of audition before purchase. Awaiting a reply...

Quote: Originally Posted by catscratch I'm 100% certain that it is the lack of an amp. Are you really driving the HD650 unamped? They're being driven from an AV amp. My issue here is Amp's in the UK. There's the Creek, and a couple of others that get no mention here within my...

Quote: Originally Posted by apostate All of those comments are with an amp, without one I prefer the 225s. I hear a good deal of improvement with each one amplified but to me the 595s (120Ohm version) sound a little lifeless without an amp. Volume isn't an issue as they'll both go plenty...
