Hey, I bought the HF3 a few days ago and didn't realise they were specifically made for iphones/ipods. I have a samsung galaxy s. When I first put them on in the tube, I noticed that they sounded very distant and muted. Last night I was experimenting, and I found that when I press and hold...

First of all, I am new here and I dont know right ways here, so I am sorry if I miss smth.   Since I got some money to spare I got an idea to get some good sounding headphones. Firstly I would say I want some upgrade from Senns HD595 I used to have (sold them few months ago). My primary...

I've been looking back to all the my headphones that have been damaged, or had to be repaired/replaced under warranty, and I was wondering if I just had some bad luck with headphones, or if others has the same troubles.   Let me start with my headphone breaks and replacements history:  ...

Hi everyone.  I am in a bit of distress and have wondered if anyone has had this problem. Two weeks ago I received a pair of Grado Sr80is for some music but mostly gaming. On music they were great, probably the best headphones I have ever heard. Then I tried them on gaming and although they...

My system is a Gilmore Lite, Headroom Micro DAC. Headphones are Beyer 250 250 and Sennheiser HD 650. I use this setup from my computer using Apple Looseless. To me the Beyers are more musical than the HD 650's. The 650's seem to fall apart when I put the amp up past 11 oclock. They also sound...

    Hello gang, I've started this thread so we could pick up were we left off (http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/508459/sr60-mod). Welcome to SR60 part II!      Firstly, here is a link to markkr's "How to: Grado cable mod" thread...

Does anyone offer one custom mold that can work with both IEMs and ear plugs?

Just so we'll be able to chart how many people have ordered, please post ONLY if you have made an order. The HF2 will be my first Grado ever.

Hey everyone (with a Grado HF-2), so I was watching this video (at moderately high volume) while using my HF-2 and could hear this strange vibrating(ringing) in my right headphone at certain points in the engine cycle. It scared me a bit, but I could not recreate this ringing with any music that...

i now have purchased the grado hf-2 waiting on them now.   i want to be able to utilize a lod because my ipod or laptop are my main sources. im not partial to either.   what would be a good solid state amp to pair up with these cans. id prefer no tubes as i travel a bit and dont wanna...

just bought a pair of grado hf-2     can anyone suggest a good portable amp to match with these cans that im so excited for.   i was thinking of a headsix fiio e7 or e11   or maybe something a bit more expensive like the alo rx or a rsa tomahawk or p51.   listen mostly to...

Which one? I love Rock, Alternative, some HardRock, and some lighter rock. I'm not sure which one to get? Thanks, Andrew

Before, i had an outdated pair of klipsch image s4 ear monitors, to me, (not being completely aware of the sound quality), sounded really nice compared to any other headphones i've gotten in store (im limited to in store ear monitors) and recently, my image s4's broke, this was due to the old...

I just wanted to throw out some of my impressions and hopefully get others to chime in. I have been using my DT 880 (600 ohm) with a Valhalla and a SS amp. I find the DT 880s to "play it safe" with the sound so to speak when compared with the HF2. The HF2 seems to have a significantly more...

I am thinking of getting the HF2 What is the difference between two models. Which can tolerate more decibels ? I hope it is the HF2

I'm thinking about selling my grado hf2s and need cans to replace them. I would prefer something in the $400-$500 price range (used if i can) that is more comfortable than the hf2 and has more soundstage.   I will be using a macbook as the source, and a pico amp/dac combo to power them.  ...

I’m curious as to what sort of impressions those of you that have added wood shells to your Grado’s can share about the sonic improvements you’ve netted.  I’m guessing from the traffic in the SR60-mod thread and the post your Grado mod thread that a fair number of folks got wood.   I’m...

Hello everyone, I was initially aiming to get gs1000, but some say that the hf-2 is better and much cheaper choice. Would you be able to compare them guys, because I couldn't find any reviews comparing these 2 cans. Also, would either be a good upgrade over the sr325i? Thank you

I mainly listen to lossless music through my ipod or laptop connected to sr 60s or m50s.  I'm thinking of upgrading to the 225s.  I'm terrified of tinnitus, so I usually listen at half the volume or below and that's plenty for me.  Given that I don't need extra volume and i use low impedence...

Hey guys!   Finally have gotten around to getting a pair of some 600ohm DT880s. I also have a pair of Grado HF2s sitting besides me as well that I love.   Anyways, I was wondering if there was any real amp out there that would could have possible synergy with the DT880 both phones in...

...reconsidering equipment...

I am looking for a pair of headphone for Metal and punk rock and now I want to choose from Grado RS1i and SR 325is.   I had a pair of HF2, although I like the apperance of this cans, and it did jazz, most kind of pop music really well, but most music I listen to are metal and punk, such...

Hey everyone, I love music, but have always listened to my music through my computer with a set of cheat $30 headphones. I recently listened to some music at my friends house, and he had a ton of stuff. Like headphones, an amp, and a few other things in between his computer. When i heard it, i...
