Don't put too much faith in the equal loudness curves. They don't really affect/describe my hearing. I had a hearing test done, and I can hear all tones equally, even at low volumes.

Grado SR-60's tend to move around on my head. I have to keep adjusting them. That's not so good for jogging. Plus they look a bit strange in public. Try a Sennheiser model instead.

Who cares about the headphones? I see something else I want to taste.

For some reason, whenever I stop talking to Mike, this whole discussion sounds like bull****. The feeling keeps coming back and makes me very uneasy. When discussing things on the terms of the theory, then the theory has the answers. But if you then try to look at the situation in a...

Quote: Originally Posted by Ahriman4891 BTW, what about the drivers in the headphones themselves? They are shielded, right? (being so close to our brains, I'd think it's important) Good question.

Please don't think this is a silly question. I realize that loudspeakers involve several drivers, each with its own magnet. However, the midrange and treble drivers are suppost to be shielded. In my experience with magnets, they affect each other's charges and relative strengths when exposed to...

Is it advisable to keep a set of cans directly on top of a loudspeaker? Could the magnetic field around the speaker interfere with the magnets inside the cans? For example: Alter their charge, or affect them negatively in any way? If so, how long would it take for any...

warpdriver, there shouldn't be any hard feelings between us. That wouldn't be right. I would like to be fair about the situation as I see it. To the degree I have justly upset you (and to that degree only), I apologize, although it was unintentional. I do forgive you for being a bit of a...

To one of the previous posters, re: comfort. Stretching the headband doesn't do much for the physical ear pain they can cause me.

Almost anything will sound better than an ER-6i. They are obnoxiously cheap-sounding. They have a flat frequency response, and almost nobody likes that. They also have too much harmonic distortion.

This is an issue with Grado headphones in general. It will improve with time, but probably not by much. EQ'ing is the solution for me.
