    Got MS Pros. Advice to SR-60 upgraders: skip *everything* inbetween and get these.

    The search for the perfect Grado...   I've been toying with Grado headphones for quite some time now. Managed to get a pair of SR-60s and 80s (non-i) new shipped down here to New Zealand about 5 years ago and loved them, decided to keep the 60s.     TradeMe, our ebay equivalent then...

    I'm downgrading from SR-225. MS-1 or SR-60?

    OK guys, here's my problem:   Once upon a time I found an amazing website who sold me SR-60s and SR-80s, with free shipping to New Zealand They don't anymore. A while back I bought SR-225s, and sold the 60s and 80s. Now I want my 60s back :(   I kept the 225s mainly because they...

    Beyer DT880 - touching earlobe. Will new pads fix it?

    Hi guys,   I've recently acquired some older (pre-05) DT880s, and I'm falling in love with their sound.   The only downside is that my ears (mainly left) are being pressed reasonably hard by the foam covering the driver. I'm wondering whether it's the pads - they are clearly quite old...

    Amp + DAC for less than ~$300USD - help brainstorm based on my requirements :D

    Guys,   I'm currently using an NAD C542+C320BEE combo, or an iPod (with or without the 320) to power my cans (Grado SR225, Senn HD580, and probably soon the ATH-M50 or DT770).   What I want is a combo DAC + Headphone amp that will scale up with my system. I want it for the following...

    HD280 Pro - So *that's* where the bass was hiding!

    Well well, after reading a comment in another thread (sorry, can't remember which!) regarding the HD280 Pro being one of the bassiest headphones this particular HeadFi-er owned, I decided to have a little experiment with my own pair. I've been thinking of selling these for quite some time - I...

    I've gone Grado, but have store credit...

    I finally found myself some Grados - unfortunately the people I purchased them off sent me a pair of SR-60s instead of the SR-80s I ordered and now have $26US store credit. Now I have a conundrum - what do I buy? I love the warmth and presentation of the SR-60s, and I find them rather...

    How do you quantify MS-1 sound from the reference of an HD280Pro?

    Alright folks, I'm strongly considering purchasing either some HD600s or some Alessandro MS1s. I'm a bit of a basshead and I've read conflicting opinions about the bass on the MS1s and would just like to quantify their sound vs. reference points I know. I have a pair of 280 Pros, and they are...

    I must find the one mid-high end can to rule them all!

    OK guys, I'm looking for a pair of cans to last me a good few years and handle all my listening requirements. My main headphones at the moment are Philips SHP-895s, which were a bargain for the approx $20US I paid for them. I also use Senn HD-280Pros at work, and HD-201s when I want to look...

    Steer me in the right direction - budget closed cans!

    My first post here as a registered user! (Long time lurker from down here in New Zealand ) Up until recently I've invested all my thought (and money) into loudspeakers, and amplifiers to drive them with, but now that I spend most of my time at University I havn't been paying my NADs all that...
