Both used on a good pre-amp, and lossless audio. How huge is the upgrade from these too? I'm not talking about the money, but the sound? good improvements or bad?  Is it worth the upgrade? Cos I can start using my SR80i outside my house once I get the RS1i. 

I'm not going to put my Headphones on for a day or two, because I want to give me ears and headphones alittle break from that really bad audio feedback ( I'm guessing since the Grado's are open backed, when I was too close to my condenser microphone it picked up the sound and created a endless...

what does cooked headphones sound like? lol

I own a pair of Grado Sr80i, and I connected it to my pre-amp which is also connected to my condenser microphone. I was testing out some settings on my pre-amp and maxed out the volume on it to test if the microphone was working. When I got to close too my condenser microphone this HUGE blast of...

has anybody else rolled over there cable or stepped on there cable when listening to music?  What are the main reason why cables get broken?

 The other day a friend of mine showed me his Cmoy amplifier fully charged, and let me borrow it. While using it I did a side by side comparison, of how my IPod source would sound with, and with-out an amp using my M50s. First I conducted a test without the Cmoy, then I tried testing it with the...

Quote:   thats whats making me OCD, I dont know! I just bought the pair today, and gave it only like 10 mins of demoing, my just worried that what if it screwed with the condition of the headphones sound when I rolled over the cable on my carpet.  

I just bought these new today, and since the cable was really long it was sagging down onto my carpet while listening to it at my homework place. I was not paying attention were the cable was at, just the music I was listening to, and  I kinda ran rolled over the little pile of cable that was on...

Well I've been listening to so much music that has soundstage, with my Grado SR80i and My AKG 701's that my ear doesn't get tricked by soundstage! Its like immune to it, and everything just seems linear, and really 3-D.. This sucks so much.. I miss the feeling of being in or around the music...

I got myself a pair of SR80i's and they sound amazing! Since there the portable Grados, I took them out on a long walk on a hot summer day. I got a little sweaty, so the pads got a wet.  I know these phones are not sweat resistant, so I wiped off the sweat that was on the pads. I'm alittle OCD...

I much prefer over the ear  

I get what your saying thanks for the advice!   I mean I'm leaning  towards isolation type of headphones/earphones for the gym for secure sound leakage, but then again I don't want to compromise the music! The music is what its all its about! So I don't mind sound "Too much leakage" since it...

I was thinking about getting the iGrado, since Grado is amazing at rock music. The only downside is that it might leak out alot, because I love blasting my music!  then again it looks more comfy then sticking a earbud in my ear ! then there is the Sure Se212 and the SoundMagic E30. but of the 3...

My apple earphones went deaf due to sweat and possibly intense movement, and I'm looking for headphones or earphones that under $100. I'm using them for intense workouts at the gym, such as running the tread mill, lifting weights, If there earphones I want ones that stick in your ear, because...

I love my AKG 701 because they are perfect for Beatles songs, since they hardly use any distortion. Most of there recordings have fine detail and instruments that is fun to hear. Plus the sound stage is great. The reason why I want Grado is because I want more of a Hard Rock Headphones, that...
