Hi all, I ran into these on my local Craigslist today.  Did Grado ever make an all-plastic version of the SR325is headphones? I was weirded out by the photo.  Thanks for the help!  

I like iFi nano iWAVE or iFi nano iWHISPER as both of these names fit into your current product lineup and direct the mind to an image of a small item - in addition to being catchy!  Hope this helps, even if I don't win.

Done and done. Count me in!

Hey all, I have been searching the web (and Head-Fi) for days, and cannot seem to find an answer to my question.  I was hoping someone here may be able to help.  I am no basshead, but I am looking into getting a pair of Etymotic HF-5s, and wanted to know how their bass response compared to that...

If anyone finds out what drivers they used in these headphones, please enlighten us!  I am very interested to know which current Grados I should be comparing these to!

I am hoping this is just a first step.  How awesome would a pair of Grados that you could use in a crowded area be?  I would love that.

Exactly, I would like a bit more info about the specs of these. They look awesome though.

Check this out!  I can't decide how I feel about this yet!   http://turntablelab.com/collections/daily-arrivals/products/grado-the-bushmills-x-grado-labs-headphone   Also, a video describing their creation (with Elijah Wood!):   http://youtu.be/jW66ldROOsg

  What's up!? Always good to meet a local! Ha that sounds awesome!  I am going to try to make it to the next meet if possible; if I ever get a chance to head North before that I will definitely be in touch.  You like the Alphas?

Having owned these for a day now, I can honestly say that they are my favorite headphones to date.  They are magical, in that they just sort of disappear and take second stage to the music.  These are awesome.

I was able to find a used set of SR225s today for 85 bucks!  Let me just say, this is the best purchase I have made in my entire life (so far at least  ).  Unfortunately, they came with some pretty crappy old flat pads, so I am now in the market for a set of the L-Cush pads they ship with.  Even...

  I used the Calrad locking connectors and they worked out very well, if you decide against the gaming mic (which I want now, by the way!).

Quote: That is a great article, and is what I am planning on using when I start my project.  The trouble I have run into is finding the wood for the project.

Hey, would any of you happen to have any ideas on where to source good wood for Grado cups?  I am having the hardest time finding anything that isn't a $75 sheet of mahogany plywood! Thanks in advance.

Quote: Ha! Should I not have been directly inhaling the glue? I missed that memo  I am in my twenties, so I hope I will make it through this one 

I will tell you this: my first two hours without the Y-Cable have been amazing! 

Quote:   This connector actually came with a screw-on ring, and that plus the overlap of the outer cup holds the connector in place quite nicely.  If your connector doesn't have this, however, I have seen superglue used quite effectively. wje above recommended the same thing.

Nope I have been low on supplies for awhile, so that is straight up 3M padding.  It is probably useless, but until I go out and buy Dynamat I stuck it on there as a damper.  I was wondering if someone would comment on that ;)

You are exactly right!! My idiot brain confused mono with stereo. Wow, I will edit that now! Nice catch ;)

Quote: Okay, I know you are over in the other thread at the moment as well, but I wanted to make sure anyone else following this knew that I had actually lived up to my word :)  Here is a link to my current progress.  

Quote:   Nope, I actually did a stereo plug.  The wire you see running over the top where the new headband will (someday) be bridges the left driver to the connector.  For mono plugs, you would need one on each side though.

Yep, here you go! This is the first step in a series of modifications (hopefully).  I removed the "Y-cable" and added a removable stereo jack to the right side of the Grados.  I can't decide whether I should build my own cable, or adapt the cable I just removed, so I haven't done anything in...

I actually just finished it up, and I went the single-side route using the TRS connector, so it is now detachable stereo from the right ear cup. I just ran a connection through the headband.

Thanks for the quick answer! Yeah I am more just trying to test the waters with this connector, if it works and I like it I will probably upgrade it at some point.  Good tip with the super glue as well!   It looks to be an even easier solder job than the male plug, as there are not as...

Quick question for you guys, if anyone has the time!  I am looking into doing a single-side detachable cable mod on a pair of SR-80i that I am messing with, and was wondering if mounting the female 3.5mm adapter assembly inside the cup will cause any problems with the sound or balance at all?  I...
