    Selling a great condition Grado HP2 HP1000. Perfect lettering, very hard to find. I have barely used it, bought it many years ago. Black stuff is just foam, and there's a minor amount of yellowing around the gimbal knobs. Headband in great shape as well as the original cable. My life's...

    Comment by 'kite7' in article 'Jvc Ha Fx34 Marshmallow Kramer Mod'

    Brings back a lot of memories, I just found out I had a pair of fx33 around and did the mod again. Many years ago I only removed the paper filter but this time I did both the paper filter removal and inserting the foam and it is much much better than before. Lessened the harshness much more and...

    Review by 'kite7' on item 'Apple USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter'

    This is odd coming from apple to have one of the cheapest and best sounding usb c to 3.5mm adapters on the market. It is significantly better than some phones with crappy 3.5mm output quality. This is an easy way to give your phone or your computer a good improvement in sound. It works...

    Westone UM PRO Series Thread

    I've been eagerly waiting for my pro 50 v2 to ship from earphonrsolutions but nothing has changed since ordering on Tuesday. Did anyone else order this week? Are they on holiday?

    Rose Technology Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Has anyone noticed any big changes in sound for the Rose Masya when using a different cable other than stock? I tried to use 2 other cables I have and the sound is darker and the treble is noticeably less. I have never experienced a noticable change like this before for any headphone. The stock...

    post your grado mods....

    I'm looking to get nylon or some fabric mesh to replace the part that touches the ear. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement? Last year I purchased a pair of HP2 with no screen on it so I'd like to fix it up myself as grado will not do the repairs.

    Grado comfie S-cush pads thickness differences modern and older pads, where to get the old ones?

    This isn't a new discover for me but I would like to point it out to those who do not know that not all the comfie pads are the same. I have comfie pads that originally came with the grado sr325 purchased in 1995 and the comfie pads are by far better than the ones today. It is a thin comfie pad...

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

    In my experience the HM5 pads increased mid bass so it's more boomy, mids are slightly thinner with more peaks in the upper midrange, more V shaped sound. At first I didn't really like this but I kept being persistent and kept listening to them and I don't mind the changed balance in the sound...

    Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

    I haven't been very active in many years since I've truly found something I was extremely happy with and still am, my black vintage SR325 still gives me goosebumps to this day. The rare opportunity finally came around for me to own 2 pair of blackstar driver headphones the SR300 and HP2 and I...

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions

    Can someone talk more about the depth of the pads and how it could be a problem for someone with more protruding ears? If your ears touch the baffle, does it become uncomfortable after some prolonged time of usage? For example for me the ,the ATH AD900X has angled drivers yet my ears still...

    Reply to review by 'kite7' on item 'Sony MDR-MA900 Over the Head Style Headphones'

    I'm very unfamiliar with Sony's house sound as this is my first purchase that isn't just a $15 can I had for over a decade ago from them. I would like to hear a flagship sony based on what I am hearing on the MA900 with better bass. If bass isn't your number 1 importance I think you would happy...

    Review by 'kite7' on item 'Sony MDR-MA900 Over the Head Style Headphones'

    Source and amp: Using the Objective O2 amp and ODAC combo   Build quality and comfort:   Headband pad is a little too firm, may need break in. Initially putting them on, the headband is feeling is evidently there but with time it slowly disappears. Earpads are not the softest nor...

    Review by 'kite7' on item 'Sennheiser HD 558'

    Note that my impression is with the foam removed from behind the grills.   HD558 is a very good headphone that I would recommend to everyone to listen to. Easy to listen to, not offensive sounding or dark sounding. Good price.   No amp required.   I have had the HD25-II before and the...

    Review by 'kite7' on item 'Grado RS 2i'

    Note: Impressions based on using new bowl pads as worn in bowl pads can change the sound significantly.   RS2i reminds me of the SR125 I once had, bright and not as full bodied sounding as the RS1. My first impression was that it sounded quite detailed then I realized it is because the bass...

    Review by 'kite7' on item 'SanDisk SDMX22-004G-A57K Sansa Clip Zip 4 GB, Black'

    This little player can take a beating. I am not careful with this device and I've dropped it many times on all types of surfaces and it keeps going. I have had my player for nearly 3 years now and the menu button now requires a harder press to respond. Headphone jack will be looser with wear and...

    Review by 'kite7' on item 'Sennheiser HD 25-1 II Professional Headphone'

    My impressions is that these don’t sound significantly different than the cheaper SP version in terms of sound signature. The biggest difference is detail, more extended highs and smoother mid. If you didn’t like the SP version’s general sound you probably won’t like this either.   Comfort...

    Review by 'kite7' on item 'Audio-Technica AIR Dynamic Headphones ATH-AD900X'

    Note: This headphone is for music that does not rely heavily on bass for enjoyment; it doesn’t have that body at the lower end that is for that genre. If you listen to mainstream pop a lot, these are likely not for you. These headphones are not all rounder headphones like the HD558 which can...

    Grado Fan Club!

      Same thoughts here. RS1 is still the best out of RS1i and RS1e for me by far. With broken in pads, the RS1 is great; they sound a tad too bright with new bowl pads. I have no idea what Grado is doing these days to the RS1.

    Grado e Series

      They sound pretty similar. RS1 has deeper bass and a tad warmer sound.     RS2e does not have protruding drivers.

    Review by 'kite7' on item 'Grado Labs SR325 Black (Vintage)'

    This is the best grado I have owned and I put these about any RS1i/RS1e and RS1 I have heard (I didn't hear the pink driver RS1 yet).    The SR325 was purchased in 1995, SR125 roughly 1997   First thing I will talk about is the bass not because I'm a bass head but because there is a very big...

    I have a pair of vintage SR60 with pink drivers dark driver cloth. They also have a black magnet. These headphones simply at the best value headphones I've ever owned.   Vintage SR60 sound smoother than current day SR60i and SR60e yet still maintain the same engaging sound. I found the best...
