I don't think I've ever seen someone get so upset over earpads before.

The K702 was my very first headphone, and I was hooked. Nothing else I've ever bought after that came close to recreating the pure beauty of music, and I've essentially sold off everything else. Try upping the bass EQ 7-9 decibels, and the K702 is quite a kicker.

You have to know what and where the scent is. If you know that it's cologne, then there are several things you can do. For the pads, you can hand wash it several times, or you can throw them in the laundry. If the scent is also on the headphones themselves, then it's a bit tricky. Oils in...

Quote: Originally Posted by moonboy403 Yup, nothing can be heard below 30hz for the K1000. That could be because instruments don't generate sounds that low. The lowest sound produced by an instrument, to my knowledge, is from the double bass - at least, when considering common...

Avoid Grado for bass. Senns are good, but they're a beast to power. You should look into Denon.

Grado's not the way to go for bass, with exception of the GS1000. Perhaps Denon or Senn.

A few of you guys should get together, create fake accounts, and bid the price up to 2 million!

I'm guessing your laptop sound is software run. My laptop doesn't have a sound card and uses software to decode everything, and I constantly hear clicks and pops in the music. They're not at the same place in the music, so it's not the recording. Put a legit sound card on there if you want to...

Fake Grado's don't exist, because the company isn't mass market. However, it's more than incredibly easy to switch drivers with a lower model Grado, and it takes a very, very trained ear to hear the difference. If someone were to put in SR225 drivers into an RS1, most people - including the...

Grado SR60i. Just make sure you burn them in before deciding whether you like them. The whoa! comes after 50 hrs.
