I meant the two new models in the very first post.

Again, let's wait a year.

The most important part about in-ear anything, is the quality of cable. How quick will it wear out? How soon will a broken cable destroy your musical enjoyment?   That is the question of utmost importance!

After about a year of NOT POSTING, I have a negative review ready to be written.... soon.

If you seriously plan on buying that version of the album, get it from Discogs. They categorize albums based on country of manufacture AND year.

Strangest thing... I wake up, rush to the laptop to get my first fix of music, and the left headphone speaker is not working! I was already thinking about testing the wonderful world of Grado warranty, then I remembered to check the System Preferences. And, wouldn't you know it, the balance...

Buying vintage stuff just because it's vintage is a bad idea. You should only buy things that are good.

Just got the announcement in the (e)mail about the "e" version of iGrado. Excited so so much. I hope the cable and sound are both better, thus it would be worth buying for all my portable open air needs.   http://www.4ourears.net/egrado_p/4e-egrado.htm ^hope they ARE improved, otherwise it is...

I wish it was me who stole them.   Sure, I would be a DIRTY CRIMINAL, but on the other hand, I would have LCD headphones!

Looks just like my Grado.

After about 24 hours, and receiving the official reply, I decided to simply wear them backwards.   Because when worn backwards, the headband is farther back, and with the way my head is shaped, now the fit is perfect, and the (°_°)phones don't want to slide off anymore.

I didn't know I was allowed to by my warranty...   ...   Just tried, the thing is holding fast. I am not breaking them for an experiment, and will wait for the official reply.

So, today I found out the speakers on my model are switched from left to right!   Sent them an email, awaiting reply.

All those "stylish headphones" don't look like headphones.   The older Audeze models look much more beautiful than EL8.

Latest news: bending the headband does nothing to improve the sound. It's a placebo thing. I (carefully) bended it back in, to get back the secure fit on my ears.   Also, happy Nondenominational Winter Friendship Day.

I meant the texture and stereo separation, according to many reviewers.   Plus, I already placed Koss SP 330 on my "maybe buy later" list. If Pro4S turns out to be as flat as advertised, it may end up as a good replacement for V6.

The definitions of those terms sound like they were written by lawyers. Completely disagree with the definition of warm.     Thank you.       I see at least a few people agree on V6. I am a full time student, and aside from buying three expensive headphones within the last two years...

I was considering Koss ProDJ, BUT... the headband when unfolded is flat, and sits at the very top of the skull. Plus, the cups need to be replaced, and an amplifier is needed to make them sound good. I'd say go with Portapro if closed design is not a must. I am going to buy those the moment I...

That one was in my wish list, but I found out it had poor muddy bass, and deleted them from the list. I don't know what meaning of "warm" you prefer, but that is not what I meant. Warm for me is the opposite of dry. It's a realistic sound, that sounds like real life. I found M40x extremely...

Only the ones I ended up on, Grado SR80e. Everything that came before was inferior.   I wish there was an affordable pair of closed ones with a neutral response and detailed and warm sound.

He got kidnapped by Koss Kommandos.

Seeing how I spent what I had on what I own now, the only thing left is to dream and speculate.   Exploring this really nice site (https://soundcloud.com/sonic-sense-pro-audio) I found that MDR V6 is among the best 100 dollar closed cans that reproduce all frequencies pretty much perfectly...

I would order that headband if I had 50 dollars to spend.   However, if I had 50 dollars to spend, I would spend it on music instead (To Buy list of lengthy).

I'm jealous. That view is so lovely.
