Hey ya’ll, long time Grado lover here. I still miss the RS2’s I had back in 2014. Anyway I just bought the Grado Whites that were for sale here and I’m psyched to get back into the higher end Grado sound. Years back now, I bought some GS1000x’s but the gimbals kept falling apart so I was able...

Great headphones but there’s a rare pair of Grado’s with my name on them I want so these beauties are up for grabs. I’ve owned them since April 2023, never left my room. Purchased from Moon Audio. Used as reference cans for mixing and producing music. Have the warranty cards and carry case...

I’m currently experiences this. Having just gotten back into producing music at home, I utilize my LCD X as my number one reference, especially for bass. However, I’m finding I’m making good mixing choices even on Grado 225x or Shure 225 in ears, both of which have rolled off treble. And then...

Just so everyone knows, Grado drivers are very hard to destroy. I know this because I had my 225x plugged into my Hugo 2 while it was at line output levels. I think that’s the term, its basically all the way up. Max volume. I think it’s like 3/4 of a watt. They sustained that volume for at least...

I don’t have much to compare it to but I listen to an LCD X Hugo 2 everyday and am very happy with it.

Thanks for the help! I’m running soundsource now. A lot of fun bumping the bass up and seeing what these headphones can do. Also having fun taming my grados at 2k.

Shoot, I use a Mac. I really want to hear them eq’d!!! I can’t find anyway to do so with Amazon.

Is there anyway to EQ Amazon music? Im so curious what these cans could sound like tweaked a bit.

My LCD X 2021 has the same issue, the right rod slips but the left has never slipped. It’s not an issue big enough to return or try to do whatever was just described by Audeze.

If you haven’t check it out there’s a pretty cool all bass album by Lincoln Goines called The Art of the Bass Choir. Great quality recordings and there’s a cool tribute to Jaco.

The bass of the GS1000x is as you described, quite nice. I’d say even more textured and colorful then LCD X. Though even 225x’s extended lower in sub bass. Seems the G pads roll the sub bass off but they also add nice punch to kick and snare drums. And it sounds like you either are or should...

I went from GS1000x to LCD X 2021, exact same price point, and they are about equal. If I had to choose again I’d still go for LCD X. I do miss the PRAT of the 1000x’s but the bass and midrange of the LCD X is more to my preference. The treble of the 1000x was less extended but more natural to...

Gs1000x has no sub bass either, though it does kick pretty well. At first it seemed very bass shy compared to other headphones I have but over time I got used to it and appreciated it for quality over quantity, which is very good. I like the tonality of its bass more then lcd X which by...

The drivers really are tuned to be with a specific pad. G pads on a 225 was unlistenable as was F pads on GS1000. I

I got a pair of sr60s off eBay for cheap that had a cable like that and the ear pads had browned pretty well. But twisting should be prevented by the new braided sheathing.
