solved; thank you!

About me: I LOVE energetic music. Listen to about 85% metal, the rest rock/alt/EDM. Some guilty pleasure pop here and there. As for my metal, it's a mix of new/old stuff, but the old stuff I love often isn't exceptionally well recorded. Older Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, Slayer, etc. I got...

After getting a Sennheiser HD1 (wired) in 2017 and putting my SR80i away ever since, I finally knocked the dust off of it for the first time today and forgot how much I LOVED these headphones. After 2 hours I immediately remembered how uncomfortable these things are (even with the replacement...

Hi there,   Trying to get the most value out of the best price. I don't want to go anywhere above $250-300 here.   I've had the V-Moda M-80 for over 4 years now, and they're wearing out. They've been pretty great, although I've always wanted something better to use.    It's time for an...

I found this link on Amazon, I've finally decided to upgrade the cushions.   http://www.amazon.com/Ear-Zonk-Replacement-Headphone-Cushion/dp/B00BW4XQZ4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413835782&sr=8-2&keywords=grado+cushions+l   SR80i isn't listed, but would this fit? The 225 is built the exact same...

Just asking for anyone else who has similar headphones, is listening to them on full volume on PC OK? Mine is unamped, and honestly I don't find it that loud (then again, I do have a slight hearing loss).  Is it safe to listen that loud?  

Hi, Grado SR80i V-MODA M80 Sennheiser HD598 ...and any other very good headphones for metal under $250?  Thanks so much.

So, I've got a pair of M-80s, and was wondering the following things: 1. Does playing on maximum volume harm the cans, long-term?   2. Are my ears safe if I use this pair on max, or should I probably reduce the volume? 3. What is the best volume for audio quality (for good sound /...

Hello, I was just wondering, is there any difference between the level of obtainable sound quality playing the same mp3 track between PC and my android phone.  Nothing is amplified or EQ'd, and I'm listening to this through my V-MODA M-80 if it makes any difference.    My laptop has a...

1. What criterion exactly determine how cans on this site are ranked?    2. Why aren't certain very high-end headphones (ex. Grado GS1000 and PS1000) even on the list?  Just curious. 

Question 1: Why aren't many high-end headphones even on the list? (ex. Grado PS1000 and GS1000) Question 2: How exactly is ranking determined? 

Hi everyone,  I'm heading off to college soon (Freshman), and I've now had my SR80i's for half a year now (I'd give these things a 10/10 for sound quality). However, I'd also like a pair to use while working out, moving out and about, and also able to play at high volumes without noise...
