Hardest downsizing decisions you've made
Three years ago I chose between my HD 650 and Grado HF-2 and that was pretty difficult. I regretted selling the HD 650s, but it had to be done. Today I sit here listening to my D7000s and W3000ANVs and ponder sadly that one of them might have to go. What is the hardest decision you've had to...- 3X0

Just Reversed the Bowls of My HF-2s
Hey everyone, As the title says, I just did the flip/reverse of the stock HF-2 bowels. Maybe I'm spoiled coming from the fall-asleep-wearing-them comfort of the HD650s, but these things just hurt my ears... Reversing the bowls does space the ear form the driver grille, but my outer...- Nick 214

Do high-end headphones sound more speaker-like than lower-end headphones?
I have had my ATH-M50s for six months, and my Beyerdynamic DT-1350 for a month. They both sound great! Anyway, I am thinking of moving ahead to a high-end headphone (the sennheiser hd700). In my upgrade, I am searching for something closer to the big sound produced by speakers. My question is...- lofthanza

Another Grado (Flat) pad mod, with instructions, pics and listening impressions
I've always been pretty satisfied with standard bowls on my RS1s ever since I got them, my first pair came with flats that were so old they were literally disintegrating so I binned them and didn't really look back. I did get some Todd flats some time later, but didn't really take to them, plus...- Rav

Good ath-m50 replacement.
Im planning on upgrading my ath-m50's soon, my budget would be around 300 dollars.

Fake Grados?
I got a pair of Grado SR225i's in the mail today. I've been excited about this arriving for a while now.

Schiit Valhalla and the overly bright mids that are masking the bass
Has anyone else had a problem with subdued bass from the Valhalla?

A Grado Head With A Fostex Fetish

I've had my HF-2s for a while now, and they're still my favourite headphone. Smooth top end, amazing bass, mids are alive and fun. I have K1000s, though I'm not sure I'm keeping them. Funding an amp is proving to be a challenge. However, I'm possibly looking for a set of cans that will...- punkaroo
