When I bought the 660S2s, I had a 6XX with really worn pads and there are so many out there, it didnt seem like it was worth it to sell it, so I picked up some non-OEM velour pads (very similar) and replaced my SE cable with a ddHiFi BC150XLR balanced 4pin XLR cable. I can't tell you what...

The most I've ever spent on a pair of HPs is ~$1400 for original Beyerdynamic T1s with a Black Dragon recable right after they came out. Were they worth it? Hell yes they were. They were my absolute end game and ended a continuous cycle of purchasing pairs and selling them. I will never, ever...

Listening to david guetta should be avoidable for everyone.

Un-discontinue! HF-4 limited edition!

Produce more housings - they will sell out.

I missed the PS500Xs by a few hours (likely for my own good), but would encourage everyone else that wanted one to send an encourageing email to Grado to do another lot of 50. :gs1000smile:

This seems a bit generalized considering the vast catalogue of music that includes a guitar, along with personal preferences. :relaxed:

This is what I'm wondering. Changing my 1st gen T1s and 6XXs to 4pin XLR have resulted in massive improvements (the 6XXs almost sound like a different headphone). I figure when I do replace the RS2x cable (in no rush rn), I might as well terminate with TRRS so I can use that output on my...

Looking for a balanced (TRRS), silver-plated copper replacement cable for the 660S2s for around $200 or less - any suggestions? :smile_phones:

Or, he might like the sound on a different setup, because they are certainly not a "drastic downgrade in sound" on mine. Of course they sound their best with the pads they were designed for. But do the G pads still sound good and bring something different to the table? Better comfort, and and...

OK, well my RS-2Xs with G pads sound terrible out of my phone with a $40 DAC, and fantastic out of my main setup. You can believe what you want to believe.

You don't have enough power and/or EQ.

Not before I try to get a friend to buy a pair so I can swap one of mine for an extended demo :smile:

Damnit why do they have to do this when I just got a pair of 660S2s and a balanced silver cable for my 6XXs :unamused:

There has been a "light version" of the HD25s for decades - I believe it used to be called the 25sp. I had a pair a long time ago, and they were incredibly flimsy and were not worth the discount from regular HD25s. I have 2 pairs of HD25s and I use them for DJing, monitoring when I have to be...
