Looks like the hard work is finally coming to fruition! Looking at this as a future upgrade to my MS2i. WEBSITE

Hey, I just got a set of the last batch of HF2s today. I knew before buying them they were b stock. I was fine with that since last year I bought a bstock set that were damn near perfect. So this pair came in and they are pretty bad. The tops of the cups are very dull and kinda ruff feeling and...

Purity Audio is having a "Blue Christmas" sale on their Blue KICAS and Caliente amps--now $229.  I borrowed one of these awhile back from a fellow Hi-Fier and can attest it is one fantastic amp   Go to their website and read Skylab's review and others who loved this amp when it cost about...

I searched and couldn't find a fan club for Grados in general. I have only listened to the SR80is and LOVE them. I love how these cans really bring rock to life. I hope to someday try some more high end Grados. I want to see how the Grado "house sound" changes throughout the line up. 

Hi guys, I recently acquired the Headroom Desktop Balanced Headphone Amplifier and I am loving it! It is quite an amazing amp / dac in my opinion and goes well with my HD800, D7000, and HF2. Now my question is: Has anyone ever compared this particular model (has the Home amp and Home DAC...

I'm calling this a "Stupid Grado Mod" because it's so easy, it hardly merits mention - except I found the results irresistibly good. I got a pair of HF-2s. The previous owner had good things to say but commented negatively on the comfort of the L-Cush bowls, what I call doughnuts. He was...

...use with my Clip.   Right now I'm using Porta Pro's which I like, just want something a little different. Most of my music is bluesy classic rock sort of stuff, some acoustic too. My main phones (home rig) are Grado HF2's. I'm open to something more neutral and analytical as opposed to...

I just noticed when doing searches that there seem to be alot of people selling MS2i phones. For awhile it seemed that these were often preferred over most of the Grado line except the much more expensive models along with the HF-2. Have alot of people moved on to other phones from the MS2i?

Hello everyone! I currently own a pair of SR125i's and a pair of HD650's.  The SR125i's are powered by a PA2V2 amp and the HD650's are powered by a LaFigaro 336 Classic amp.  I have alot of appreciation for the sound signature in the HD650 setup but I find them too laid back for my taste.  I've...

Alright, after a good 16-20 hours of listening these past 3 days, and hearing one song that I was left awestruck on my ASG-1s, I feel I have enough ammunition to do a decent review of these new IEMs of mine. I'll probably do a site based review as well (these need more proper ratings). I'm also...

Hey All,   I just went for my ACS custom molding for my Etymotic Mc5s.  The fitting was actually very easy.  You do nothing but sit there.  That is not why I am posting here.   I am in fact posting to rave about the audiologistic that did my fittings.  If you are in the NY area, you must...

Hello, I am a 17 year old guy who is hifi passionated. So i'm looking for a grado headphone sr80i , that i saw and tested by my friend, and i was very impressionate. So i look for one since 6 monthes but in france it costs 150$ and it is too expensive for me. But in usa it costs just 99$ and...

I've never had a headphone amp before, except for the inbuilt one in essence stx. But lately I mostly listen to the music from my laptop or cowon s9, and I want something of similar or better quality to drive all of my headphones, which are hf2, hd598, jh13, soon w5000 and I also have lcd2 in...

Hi guys,   I was wondering whether there were any people on here that might be able to recommend earphones with volume control and track selection for use with an iPhone 4.   I have seen the review here of the RF Punch Plug earphones (without remote) and that seemed quite favourable; I...

Hi, new here and all.. didn't really know where to start looking to answer my question myself .. but I'm wondering which headphones are the one featured in the default avatar I'm currently using.. and if it would be considered portable friendly and if it is recommendable.

Ok guys I've heard the HF2, ER6i and ER4S, but only very briefly and not long enough to make any definite judgments of their sound quality. However, I personally liked the all of the Etys very much. They just really wow'ed me upon first listen. Not only was the treble the most detailed and...

Hey guys, have anyone ever run a pair of Grados through an E7/E9 combo? If so how does it sound compared to unamped? Thanks

What would that be, considering the money isn't a problem?   I am searching for one, and it's most important for me that it sounds great with clean male vocals and have crisp and powerful electric guitar sound. I've tried already dt880, hd600, hd650, sr325i, gs1000, hf2 and ad700 but none...

A couple months ago I bought the Sennheiser HD595 as my first full sized headphones and after about a week of listening to them i started getting some weird, painful bumps on my ears, though after a couple more weeks of listening to the headphones the bumps disappeared. After about a month of...

I was using Grado HF-2 with the inbuilt amp that comes with essence stx soundcard. But recently I started spending a lot of time on my laptop and I decided to purchase an amp/dac for better sound.   I also plan to purchase audeze lcd2 in the near future, so I want something that suits both...

I received these for xmas on sort of a gamble. I heard the beyer line on a couple different setups at canjam and only moderately liked them. But, they were the only phones I liked at all there aside from the other beyer stuff, PS1, and the AKG 701/702. I've basically been a grado guy for years...

Trying to decide on a set of headphones to buy, this will be my first pair. I mostly listen to music from my macbook pro or my iphone, so I'd prefer a headphone that doesn't necessarily require an amp, but it could be in the cards somewhere (most of the stuff I listen to is flac though). I heard...

hello I am looking for some decent headphones for around £300-500 to be driven of an amp.  I am not botherd about an open or sealed design.  I listen to electronic music.  I am looking for a pair that will have a good bass and mid range output.  any opinions would be helpful thanks

  Alright guys. I had a buying itch yesterday. I figured, I got such a good deal on my RS1's, why not add another set to the line up? But, I want to make it another set of cans that were distinctly another pair of cans.   Something different tonally, than the RS1. I'm planning on...
