It is a bit the same here, I like my grados/Alessandros but at the meoment they don't get too much listening time. When I am at home and listen music from my CDP, I take my Stax combo. When I listen in bed this is the moment when the grados come into play. In winter... because in summer with the...

Well, all I can say that I am very glad I could buy in 2008 a SR325i because it is still my favourite Grado HP.... ok together with the HF-1 and the Alessandro MS-Pro.... I think we just accept that timeline for Grado passes in the same way as their quality control....:relaxed:

@ joseph69: this is probably difficult to find out. I bought my first Grado the SR80 (without i) in spring 2008. Than in summer I was in full grip of the grado fever and bought my golden SR325i. I had than never heard about the new series. Ok here in Europe we might be a bit behind in the model...

The SR 325i was my second Grado and it is still my favourite one.... I bought a SR325is with the e-drivers during the transition time to the e -series because I like the SR 325i so much and wanted to have a back up when it might fail me one day. But the SR 325 e are a different headphone. So, I...

I think to take Grados out into the wild is a very sensitive thing to do. When you run out of food you can use the cable of the new models to build a trap to catch a rabbit :slight_smile: But I had a similar impression last week: Unforseen I was out for 10 days and there was only my first Grado...

I bought in February a Stax SR-507 and have to say I enjoy it a lot.... still listen to my grados, mainly when I listen with my DAP. But I like the effortless sound of the electrostatic... enjoy XLR8

This is the same for me. I have the SR325i - the golden ones - since 9 years. They were my second Grados, after the SR80. And I love them. They have the best mids I have so far heard in a headphone. And their bass is less compared to the HF1 or the PS500 I have but more precise. I always thought...

Thank you for your comment, Don Quichotte. Do you unplugg your headphones before you turn off the amplifier like astrostar59 does? I found in this thread that the sound is coming from the discharging of the capacitors and on another site that it can't do damage because the signal will be always...

Since Saturday, I have these two at home and I am very delighted. With all other headphones I bought I needed some time to get at home used to their signature but with the SR-507 I have the feeling it fits right away. Such a transparency and bass and mids fit just right. The highs depend a bit...

Started my saturday listening to "Sleater Kinney live in Paris". The first live album of a concert I have been to.... Listened to it with the Grado SR325i, which was the second Grado I bought and is still amongst my favourites. That's how guitars and voices should sound to my ears! Recently, I...

Have mine since summer 2008 and they have recently pushed the GH1 from my main listening station, where they share the place now with my Alessandro MS-Pro (modded). Somehow I always come back to the SR325i. I guess they fit to my ears/brain with their sound signature. I enjoy their mids so much....

The complain about size of the case I've read several times already and for myself I don't really understand it: it has the perfect size to fit my Fiio X3 II in it as well.

Uh, I am sorry to hear about your loss, Dillan! I can only join JoeDoe on his second point: for me certain music is medicin. for example some Tom Waits songs, or some first EP of Emmy the great. And The National.... all of these songs help me... and I can also second JoeDoe on seeing friends and...

How about the Ultrasone Signature Pro? It was based on the edition 9.

This is good to hear you had such a positive experience with Grado service. It seems to be different for customers from the USA though. Which is a bit difficult for me because the customers outside the USA pay higher prices and I think Grado should offer the same service or response to them...

I also prefer the SR325i compared to the SR325e. The SR325e is more balanced but the SR325i is unique to my ears. Such beautiful mid. For me it is THE HEADPHONE to listen to singer/songwriter.... ok together with the MS-Pro with distancers and G-cush and the Etymotic SR4SR....

@zombywoof: I have the SR325i and together with my Alessandro pro (modded) they are my favourite Grados. For me the SR325i has wonderful mids, they excell for singer songwriter stuff and guitarmusic. But they are also the grados with the most pronounced highs. So, if you are coming from the...

Now the ER4 SR are for three weeks with me. I tried all three tips that come with it. With the small triple flag tips I have problems to get a good seal but they are the most comfortable. The big triple flags give a better seal but they hurt after a while. With the grey foamies I get the best...

I listened this morning Pearl Jam's concert 09.06.2000 with the Alessandra MS-Pro/Ultimate. Gradessandros love Pearl Jam. Have a good weekend.

So, I picked up this morning my first in-ears in my life: the ER4SR. Now during lunch break I listen to REM "Drive" from the Dublin show from my Fiio X3II. There is a big smile on my face. So far I like what I hear but than again this is NTS...

I am sorry that you had bad experience with Grado. I think the QC is one of their weak issues though some german companies like beyerdynamic seems to have also issues sometimes. For the price: Yes, it is strange but same thing applies to many things. When I go here in Paris to a english book...

This is a good price. I hope you enjoy them. I use mine mainly for listening at home when I need a close headphone or at work. Recently I bought a Fiio X3 II and they sound much better, more balanced from it compared to my ipod touch... very nice headphones for my ears...

Since last saturday I have an FiiO X3 ii with me. I compared it in a shop to the Shanling M2 and to the ibasso DX80. The X3 made it because I found the UI more simple and easy to use compare to the other ones... So far I like the player and I am happy with it. I use it mainly with my ultrasone...

Last year I saw motörhead here in Paris and was glad to see that Lemmy semmed better. He had lost quite some weight but was more active than the year before... and now this... I always thought motörhead is one of the natural constants, like gravity... let's have a drink when work is done and...

Yes, that was my first rat "Louis". I think if you enjoy your PS500 - why change things. If we can enjoy music and listen in way that we forget the itch "This can be better...." we are very lucky....
