The AD suggested sending them in for repair. I don't know if that means they will order a new head band or simply fix the part that is defective. Either way, I'm out of headphones for the holidays (or longer) so I'd rather try alternatives.   The rod lock certainly seems a good idea and it's...

Haven't posted in a long while (making the wallpapers for HF was fun) but recently bit the bullet and grabbed the Grado PS1000. After falling in love with the Grado sound, thanks to my 225i's, I couldn't hold back any longer and now I'm in audio bliss. But there's a small problem. Unfortunately...

I´ve been bogged down with a work project but I´m hoping to get back to make some more requests soon. Thanks for all the props. Glad you like em. BTW how interested would fellow head-fiers be in a 2010 calendar wallpaper where each month would showcase a given phone?

So far the comfies are the way to go for extended sessions but I still prefer the sound of the bowls which have been getting softer with use. The flats are stored away. I love my 225i's either way!

I haven´t. Just wetting them or using some kind of soap? They are comfy but after many hours they hurt the back of my head, next to the ear and they are slightly itchy..... especially compared to the comfies.

So having broken in my HD555´s, which are sounding great, I'm now moving onto the brighter 225i´s. I've been using the bowls but recently purchased the comfies and the flats. IMO the bowls have the best sound, with the obvious larger stage but man, they're itchy and slightly uncomfortable for...

Having completed almost all the models in my set of Grado wallpapers on another thread, I was thinking it would be cool/fun to do a series of walls for the top 5 or so preferred phones on HF. Would you guys be interested? Which phones should be included? *Beyerdynamic 880 05 *Senn HD800

Thanks for all the props! I´ll post the requested walls a bit later.

I made myself a couple of wallpapers to celebrate my new Grado´s Feel free to use them if you like.  

Well, I´m glad to say the 225i is now a member of my household and I´m currently introducing them to my music collection. So far they are getting along like a house on fire..... especially as they get a bit of burn-in. I think it´s safe to say I have now found what I was looking for and if it...

Here are my 2 cents on my HD555 in case it might help... So far, they have provided a very balanced sound, nothing spectacular, but do what is expected of them, efficiently. I really like them for everyday use as they are laid back, easy on the ears, with enough clarity and punch... much in...

Nah, man.... I´ve already spent $350+ buying the 2 headphones. I´m willing to have a last dabble as if I let the 25´s go I already got a buyer frothing at the mouth... I know the larger steps have the largest rewards... well, most of the time, but there must be something else out there that...
