I just bought the ATH-A700 for $110 shipped atElectronics-Expo.com - The best brands in Electronics at the best prices - Safe and Secure Online Shopping. Hope I hear good things!

I posted this in the Headphones subforum about a month ago, and didn't get much in the way of replies, and since this is where i first learned of recabling headphones i've posted it here. I recently recabled my Grado SR-125s with starquad to fix the inevitable disconnection of the original...

Bump for re-reads and anyone who might have any ideas.

I recently recabled my Grado SR-125s with starquad to fix the inevitable disconnection of the original cable job in the Y-piece. Job went smooth, didn't fry anything, and they look and sound fantastic. I've encountered a strange problem now, though: the left driver fades from normal volume...

Yeah, but sometimes i crave just a little bit more. Sadly, that's what all of you have in common as well! Buying nothing else also leaves me more money to buy CD's, which i have been doing a lot lately.

Hey all, i've been extremely happy with my Grado SR60 for the longest time; i really have not heard a better-sounding headphone. I really don't need an upgrade, but i'm just wondering how it would be to go up to the SR125 or SR225. I'm using it pretty much exclusively with my Rio Karma, which i...

Grados really do look secksy. i walk around my school wearing the confidence of my grados; just knowing that my headphones sound 1000X better than yours is enough to make me feel good. but the grados really do look nice >_>

All i have for EQ is the default settings with +1 +0 +1 +3 +4 works pretty well.

omg.. yes... my sr60s came today, and i'm loving every minute of this. Very satisfying headphone. sound very good with acid/nujazz. with some rock like thrice they sound pretty good too. i'll burn them in overnight and wash the earpads. i'll have a good listen before i cut those...

Dude... that wasnt a deal... it was a steal! crazy people and their unknowledge about headphones...

From Headroom a few days ago. should be here soon. I don't really want to spoil the surprise, but what should i be expecting in comparison to my ER·6?

Nope. ER·6 does not sound fun at all. it sounds as sterile as the ER·4, i would say. I ordered the SR60 in search for more fun.

I have a tempur-pedic pillow. it's extremely nice. i want a mattress topper too. another thing: i ordered the SR60 from Headroom yesterday and i think this is a good idea!

How do the SR60 compare to MS1? I'm thinking of buying the sr60s from headroom, just to try, and maybe keep...

Alright, i've pretty much got my sights set on an MS-1. Which Grado headphone does it most sound like? someone said the sr125... how does it differ from the sr-60? Another question: where can i actually buy these? does HeadRoom carry them?

edit: double post.

I'm looking for a headphone that sounds fun, good to groove with, but that still has the high end/detail of the ER·6. Is there some Grado/Alessandro phone that is under $130?

I've been pretty happy, in fact, extremely happy with my ER-6s so far i've had them, but i've noticed i can't really groove to them. I love the isolation and comfort is very nice. I've been listening to my computer speakers and my labtecs, and not being totally repulsed by them, listened to...
