    I didn't read all 56 pages, but for people who order from logitech, the representative said the next batch is supposed to start shipping on the 18th... At least orders didn't get canceled.

    Grados utterly horrible customer "service"

    I always thought people just ignored all the copy and paste (or automated) BS that companies give out and focus on the whats important - will you fix it, and how much. For example: I worked for a company and i sent out similar short responses (as well as the rest of the RMA crew) and we...

    Lone Star Audio Fest

    It looks like its more geared for speakers rather than headphones right?

    Just picked up SR225's...

    The sr225 needs a long burn in before they start to sound good and for the bass to kick in. An amp with a properly configured bass boost helps a lot. I would just play some pink noise on them for a few days and see how it turns out. If you still don’t like it, try a different brand of...

    Grado driver mod?

    I dont think it matters too much what you put on the drivers, but you also dont want something that will deteriorate the drivers either.

    I'm set on it.

    I always felt the zero was a huge risk to buy. If it doesn't work, you will have to send it to china, and the seller would probably make you eat shipping twice and that’s not cheap(at least $50, maybe double). Also if you buy a zero with the 50 dollar shipping fees and decide to return it, they...

    First expensive headphone purchase

    It’s hard to beat grados for pure sound and is my personal favorite, but it’s not without its compromises - leaking sound, questionable build quality, and comfort. The bass is also not as pronounced as some of the other headphones. For your friend part, keep in mind bose is mega popular and...

    Grado SR60 v. SR80--what are the exact differences?

    With a typical CD player and receiver at local audio store, the sr80 was noticeable better than the sr60. It wasn't huge, but it was there. I could justifiy a 20 dollar differences but not much more than that. In another view, the differences of a low quality mp3 vs good quality mp3/flac is a...

    Grado Burn In

    For me, Grados improve with burn in - without a doubt. Running pink noise for 24 hours made a difference

    mdr v6 appreciation?

    These were the first decent set of cans I tried was pretty amazed at the time. But I heard some other headphones shortly after and realized maybe it wasn't so good. I do not agree that these cans are without a sound signature from your reasoning, but I supposed its not bad set of closed cans for...

    Holepunch Problems!

    I tried the hole punch trick. It was pretty hard but it works. Theres no real tricks to it, either try a new, sharper hole puncher or find someone stronger than you.

    AMB Beta 22 & o22 Enclosures??

    well, the guy already bought the betta 22 and sigma 22 so its too late. But in my opinion, its a bit risky to spend $85 on a case that doesn't really fit all that well. You might consider an old compaq or dell computer case
