Running this comparison (my workhorse SR-325e and my fresh-out-of-the-box SR-225x) right now! Nothing like a new Grado day, is there? I’m sure I’ll get laughed out of the forum for not doing a side-by-side comparison of an old and new 325, but I wanted to add a different model to my Grado lineup.

Moved to a new apartment; I don’t know about you all, but one of my favorite (or most time-consuming and aggravating) parts of the process is setting up the new music area. Now that my work desk is in a separate room, I guess that means I need a second headphone amp, right?

That is what I was/may be going to get the HF3 for, as well. Was contemplating the GH3s as a similarly compact wood body headphone, but heard some less positive reviews of them.

I posted my workplace turntable and headphone setup a few days ago. Now here’s my home system. More than anything else, it’s a study in hi-fi faux pas and is aspirational at best; I look forward to the roast.

The right-hand side of my desk at my office. The Lyr has the internal phono card, making the turntable’s age-matched Sony receiver largely unnecessary and absurd at this point. I do have it spewing into a 4-way splitter for shared listening with my coworkers, and it has a very ‘90s, graphical...

I have nearly impulse-bought the HF3 several times, and was on the hunt for second-hand GH2s as well based only on others' reviews and their physical beauty alone. How many is too many?

New member here, and I’m hoping you all will appreciate my Saturday morning head-to-head setup. Currently listening to Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony (44.1kHz/16 bit) on RS1es and GH4s. I love the differences between the 2 wood-body Grados with this recording; the strings, the...

New member here. So happy to have found your comprehensive comparison posts (years late, alas). Thanks! I usually benchmark against other headphones using my SR325e on a Chord Mojo, and I find that the 325s leave me with a smile on my face and higher marks in many areas. I'm glad others have a...

Good evening, Head-Fi. I made the happy error of walking into a headphone shop in Midtown Manhattan after reading a few posts on this forum; what's the worst that could happen? Now 6 months later, I own a set of Focal Elears, as well as Grado RS1e, GH4, and SR325e phones. Do I have a problem...
