    Grado SR80-E Impressions and Comparison?

    I spent 3 hours in an audio store yesterday.  It was my first time really trying on a bunch of headphones and comparing them with one another.  I was able to develop my own opinions about the different headphones, but I couldn't always come up with a reason as to why I liked one pair more than...

    Dirt Cheap Grados...

    I'm in no was affiliated with this website, but I found it thanks to another person on this forum last week. The etailer has a really good rating from my understanding. And they happen to carry Grados for amazingly low prices. Check it out... http://www.powermax.com/ Item # Description...

    An audiophile heaven in San Francisco

    From my meandering, I find that the Head-Fi favorites can be tricky to track down offline. I spent a chunk of time this morning in a very cool shop called dijitalfix at Valencia and 19th in San Francisco. They carry Grado, Audiotechnica, and plenty of other cool stuff that intersects art and...

    Project Head Box II vs. Schiit Vali

    I've been enjoying my Grado SR-125's driven by a Project Head Box II amp for about five years now.  A really nice musical combination for small ensemble acoustic jazz and blues.  I've been reading a lot of good things about the Schiit Vali, and how well it gets along with Grado headphones.  Any...

    Grado SR 325 is driver mismatch

    Hi all.  I recently acquired a pair of Grado SR 325 is headphones, which sound pretty amazing as far as I am concerned.   I have one gripe however, as when I listened to a few tracks in mono, I found the sound to be slightly skewed to the left (eg the left driver was playing a bit louder...

    Revisiting some classic cans

      It's been almost 3 years since last time I used most of my cans. So after unboxing I listened to them for at least 8 hours at day in continuous back and forth with all kind of music during two weeks. I thought I should share some impressions as I always loved posts from people talking about...

    Grado IGI review

    There isn't much info about the IGI on head-fi - so I figured I'd make a post.   At work I needed closed headphones which led me to M50's - they isolate fairly well, and sound good - but the "Grado" sound I have grown to love wasn't there. The M50's bore me with their laid back mids, and...

    What happened to Grado's reputation?

    I purchased my Grado 225's almost 10 years ago.  Back then, everyone I knew were talking about grado vs sennheiser headsets and those that were made of money talked about Stax and thousand dollar or more amps.  Now, I hardly see anyone talk about Grado's headsets for anything except the cheap...

    Stopping Grattles from Reoccuring?

    My pair of SR80i's have a very large tendency to start grattling multiple times a day, even with the volume at a reasonable level. I have to blow into the drivers every hour and a half of music listening to fix the issue and it's starting to get a bit tiresome. Anyone have tips on stopping this...
