    Grado SR-60i good PX100 replacement for street/gym use with ipod?

    My experience is from an SR225, but the basic construction is nearly the same. I wouldn't use them as a gym headphone for sure. While the sound is great, I don't think they would hold up to that kind of use. Those pads will act like a sponge for sweat, too! Also, there is NO isolation at all. If...

    Custom tips for my TF10

    Custom remold vs. custom tips

    It's a basic question, really. Surely the answer is on this forum somewhere, but I can't seem to dig it up. Aside from coolness factor and a smaller package, what's the difference in SQ between these modifications? I'm thinking of getting one or the other just because I can't get a good seal...

    Custom Triple.fi 10 Pro & Custom Shure SE530

    I don't think it ever got answered, so I want to ask what another poster also asked.. with an extra driver, is it necessary to use an amp? I don't use one now with my stock TF10s and I don't particularly want to carry one around. Also, does anyone know the turnaround times for UM and Null...

    Bright sounding headphones wanted.

    I had some Grado SR225s and they were very crisp and bright. I loved them! Unfortunately I didn't use them as often as I'd like because I needed something for on-the-go. You can find them used for around $150. They also have a pretty long cord. *EDIT* I should mention that these aren't...

    The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)

    This is the first time I've browsed this thread and WOW.. I feel like I'm in the stoneage after reading the posts. I have three cameras.. one made in 1982, one made in 1969, and one made in 1939. I use three basic functions on all of them.. focus, aperture, shutter speed. They make me happy...

    TF10 Custom tips?

    Oh, I was under the impression (or assumption I guess) that it would be much more expensive. What's the perk for having it remolded? Sorry if that's a newbie question! They're cool, yeah, but then what? Any resale value is shot as well, right?

    TF10 Custom tips?

    dnullify, who are you going through for your customs? Are they tips or full remolds?

    TF10 Custom tips?

    I saw that custom remold thread. I'm a little hesitant about replacing the manufacturer's housing, probably for no good reason. I guess from my perspective I'm just trying to improve the fit and the custom tip works to that end. I can understand the allure, though!

    TF10 Custom tips?

    I've officially diagnosed myself as having weird ear canals. I could never get a good fit or seal with any tips on my RE2s and now I'm having trouble with my new (to me) Triple.fi 10 pros. I tried comply tips but I really don't like how it throws a wet blanket over the highs (I like a crisp...

    Triple-Fi 10's or make a switch?

    Quote: Originally Posted by 3X0 Coming from the TF10pro the SE530 can disappoint. Both use triple armature designs, and Shure means armatures when they mention speakers. The SE530 is a different flavor and not technically better or worse. I personally find the TF10pro to have fewer...

    Switching from Grado SR225's to an IEM.. help!

    Thanks for the tip, Dobber. I'll definitely check them out. I recently moved up north to Liberty (gag.) I moved from OP and was downtown before that. Wow, I get around lately! I bought the Grado's from Primus Audio Pleasure downtown by the way. Know of any other good shops around?

    Switching from Grado SR225's to an IEM.. help!

    Thanks for the replies! I was reading about those Phonak ones earlier and the sound pretty good considering the price. I've also considered the leap to the Senn IE8's, but only if I could find them used. You've given me some other good leads but hopefully I won't spend toooo much time reading...

    Switching from Grado SR225's to an IEM.. help!

    After much reading and touring my city listening to different full-sized headphones I ended up with a pair of Grado SR225's to play directly off my Ipod classic. I fell in love with the clarity of the Grado's and for unamped full-sized headphones they beat the pants off anything else I...
