I wouldn't normally do an earphone (or a headphone review), but these really caught my attention, not because they sound truly amazing (they don't), or because they are resistant to tangling or anything (they aren't), but because richer sounds had them on sale for £10 (from £49.99, since gone up...

i've been looking for something to bridge the gap between the only two headphones i currently own. i won't go with a lower grado, because i find the cables aren't very easy to live with (i've decided to go recable my current ones to something that's a little more tangle resistant), but i had...

so, winter is coming again, and for the past two years i've always had a solution to both keeping my head warm and some nice music in my ears from headphones. last year it was the woolly hat first, headphone on top. but that muffled the sound a little, and i didn't like it much (even though my...

the black plastic things that the headband attaches to on my sr325is's has just broken - between the metal headband and the plastic inside the box there should be a pin that holds the headband in place. well, that's broken off, and this time on a headphone that i haven't even remotely rough...

... sort of. a while ago my cable split at the y joint on my sr325i's, so i sent it to my local audio t, and they sent it off to grado. well, it came back, but they'd replaced it with the sr325is's - i thought they'd replace the cable, but they replaced the whole thing. totally wasn't...

i'd been dreading the day, but it happened, intermittent sound out from the right speaker. i'd gotten an irreparable twist in the cable, and the blue and white cables were not exposed. naturally constant stress on the much more delicate blue and white cables must have stretched the wire inside...

hi. the cable has split a little, revealing the wires inside on my sr325i's, both by the y joint and in the cup itself (the little seal where the wire holds onto the metal cups) my grado's are still in warranty, and i still have the original receipt, but i've long since removed the buttons...

hi. i have an electric tamiya DF-03ra car, and i've somehow managed to loose some parts for it - specifically the ring hub that fits into the bottom of the c hub. i realised something was wrong after i noticed the front wheels were wobbling on the hubs, and steering was way too wide for the car...

i've had this voyager amp for a short while, bought from the sales section. it's a fine little thing, but it does have its downsides. it's big. i've velcroed my ipod touch to it and it goes from being quite large to being unwieldy. i can almost picture the "you pleased to see me?" jokes being...

i was talking in lectures, and somebody said there was a rather nice audio shop in oxford street in london. they said it was just below virgin megastores, and theguy said they had all sorts (apparently including portable amps). anyway, i got interested, but couldn't get a name. does anyone...

for cables, how much of a difference does gold plating make (for digital and analogue), and will it really make all that difference if the contacts used in a device (eg: i haven't come across a HD tv with gold plated contacts for the hdmi or analogue inputs - would gold plated cables make a...

a while ago i sent off my 32GB ipod touch 2g, because i had been having problems with the dock connector - it was like it was never sitting on the dock properly, and i always had to jiggle it about on a music dock or my LOD before it'd work, and even then it'd skip (a hilarious example was a...

as some may already know (and in case you don't) spotify is a new music service which allows you to stream music over the net. it's completley legal and subsidised by the odd avert now and again. i'd avoided the service till now, because i still wanted a service that allows me to get high...

this month seems to be the month where everything breaks. in october last year i got myself a 120GB ipod classic. in january sound stopped coming from the left earphone driver - it was definitely a fault with the player, as it happened with every headphone. so off it went to apple. that's the...

yesterday the untethered jailbreak was released for the ipod touch 2g, and browsing about today i found a gui based solution, so even n00bs like me can jailbreak without breaking something. [Release] QuickFreedom - Untethered GUI! - iPod touch Fans forum all you'll need is firmware 2.2.1...

just out of interest, i thought it would be a nice modification to have my sr325i's with a wooden driver housing, instead of the plastic one. but it seems the housings for the rs2's and rs1's are completely solid, and not two pieces. unless i'm wrong, and there's somedude on ebay selling the...

after i removed the buttons (they popped off with a nail file) i saw a ridiculous amount of glue stuck underneath. picking at it didn't work, so i thought the only way would be to try and melt it off with a heat gun... ... only i didn't have one. nor a hair dryer, for that matter. so i...

with both my grado's, the gold (or silver) lettering has faded on some letters, to the point where my 325i's now say "p_est___ ser_es", which is kinda annoying. the cups will often rub on my collar when i'm out and about, and because of this cold weather i've taken to wearing a rather abrasive...

grado seem to have updated their website, with new headphone revisions (the plastics officially have mushroom cups and have the "i" (improved) suffix on them, and the sr80's have the flat pads (boo!). just thought i'd shout it out... again, if it's been said before.

i have a portable kit that comprises of my grado sr325i's, a graham slee voyager, and ipod touch 2nd gen. prior to that it was a classic, but that was with a cmoy amp with mini to mini. i had been perfectly happy with my mini to mini, but wanted to explore what it was like with the LOD. so when...

it was a snow day, we had like a few millimetres of snow here and britain was brought to a virtual standstill. anyway, i didn't want to get my grado's wet, but wearing a woolly hat over them wouldn't work. anyway, i bought a sombrero for a completely unrelated reason (actually, no reason...)...

i didn't know where to post this, but i recently ripped the green day live album, bullet in a bible into ALAC format for my ipod classic. anyway part way through "boulevard of broken dreams" i heard some noise that sounded like a torn cassette film rattling in it's reel. i had the cd for a long...

hi. just a question i thought i'd ask - specifically, how does an ipod dock connector out to 1/8 inch jack work? i had always assumed the data coming out would bypass the ipod's internal digital audio converter, but to me something has to be converted if it's going to come down an analogue...
