The reviews I've read about the igrados are very mixed so I don't think I'm going to risk getting them. It's a pity too since I love my sr225. I've never heard of Yuin trough. Are they really better then the px100? Do they fit my sound style?

Tomorrow i'm going to order portable headphones and I'm stuck between these two. I've heard a lot of praise about the px100's, but I'm having a hard time compairing them to the igrados. Anyone here have experience with both? The music I listen to is rock, metal, and techno. Thanks for the help!

My source is an X-fi extreme music on my PC. I've never looked into a DAC partly because I don't know what one does and how much it will help. Is that something I should definitely look into? At first I really, really liked my SR225, but after hearing the HD600 properly amped, I'm not so...

I'm new to the audiophile world and I'm not sure what I should be looking to upgrade next. I just got a desktop amp (Little Dot MK V) to drive my HD600 and SR225(which I don't think it needs). If I do another upgrade, it probably won't be for another couple months, but who knows. What do you...

I would definitely go to a Pittsburgh meet up. I live in downtown at the moment.

I was at radio shack looking for an audio switcher so I can switch from my headphone amp to my pc speakers. The only thing that I could find was an A/V switch so I picked it up anyway. I haven't hooked it up yet because I heard that doing this is going to decrease the sound quality. Is this true?

My Little Dot MK V just came this morning. Whoever said that HD600's could be driven without an amp has obviously never heard it paired with one. I still can't believe what I'm hearing! The difference is night and day.

I got my HD600 a couple weeks ago, but without an amp I've been kind of disappointed. Next week I'll have $200 - $300 to spend on an amp and I'm not sure which to go with. I've been looking at the little dot IV, but with shipping it's a little over $300. What else should I consider? After...

I'm also from pittsburgh and very new to the audiophile world. I would love to go to a meet up if anyone hosted one.

What is wrong with your Hd650 for games? There can't be to many headphones that are better then it.

After spending hours with the Hd600 I now have a lot more appreciation for them, even unamped. I decided to get a desktop amp, but I'm not sure which one. I can't wait to hear what they would like properly amped.

If I went with a full size amp instead of a portable one, would it be more cost effective?

I looked everywhere for a pair, but I ended up sucking it up and buying an HD600. You can find people selling theirs here if your patient.

What exactly is a source? Would that be the sound card or ipod? If it is then the xfi extreme music and my iphone.

I like how these sound, but so far I like my grado sr225 a little bit better. I'm listening to both of them un-amped and I hear that an amp is HIGHLY recommended for the HD600. Because of my tight budget, I could only afford a cheap amp (E5). Will that drive my HD600 well? I plan on getting a...

How is the senn hd555?

Oh I forgot a budget. I don't want to spend much more then $100 unless it's substantially better.

I've had my Grado sr225's for about 6 months and I love the sound, but I want to explore what else is out there (that's not cheating is it?). I'm looking for something with a big sound stage and is good for gaming. Something comfortable would also be great since Grado's are very uncomfortable. I...

I know I shouldn't think too much about it and I'm really not. I'm just considering getting a new pair sometime down the road and I'd like to know which direction I should go. Would an amp really make a big difference? Also how is my source bad?

I don't have anything else to compare it to. I've heard a lot of good things about the HD580/600/650. I've also heard things about grado's such as they color the sound and they aren't good at anything other then listening to rock music. I'm happy with the sound but I can't help but to think...

3 months ago I bought a grado sr225. I'm not saying that I don't like it (they have been by far the best pair of headphones I have ever owned and listen to) but I have been having some doubts and think I could have made a better purchase. The main type of music I listen to is rock and metal...
