I've been all about IEM's and have had quite a few but now I'm looking for a good full size headphone and I really don't know much about full size cans at all.  The ones I've listed are all around $1000 and I'm open to suggestions but want to keep it under $1500.  I'm really not picky when it...

which one do you think is better? and WHY??

Just got the Grado PS1000 for my Macbook Retina.  Need some advice on an amp/dac.  Would anyone recommend the Luxman DA-200 with Nordost Blue Heaven?  How does the Bel Canto compare to the Luxman?  I mostly listen to jazz and rock.  Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on high end headphones. I currently own a Chord Hugo and some Audeze LCDX and Grado RS1i. I like the physical lightness and excitement of the Grado, but like the warmth and depth of the Audeze. Trouble is, I find the Audeze to be the better headphone but I...

Hello Guys! 1) I really need your help in the huge dilemma of choice of headphones to my Hi-Fi portable player. I used to have Beyerdynamics T5p, but it had problem with jack, so retail returned me money. Recently I have been in audiophile shop and have listened Grado RS 2i and compared it...

Hey Guys,   I'm trying to decide between these two headphones. I'm favoring 800 at the moment (being a sennheiser fanboy), but my mate is trying to convince me to buy PS1000 because it's better overall, in his opinion.   My music preferences: (High to Low)   Trance, Techno...

I am new to the forum and was interested in purchasing the Grado PS1000 headphones. However, I wasn't sure if I should wait until an upgrade/newer model is released. Can anybody help me out with this? (i.e. possible release date). Thank you.

Hi guys,   I'm no expert in this matter and was wondering if anyone with more experience in the field would have any insights. I posted this same post in one of my other threads, but I find the topic very interesting so figure i'd start a new thread about it. Below's just one of the things I...

Aside from Stax, HD800, T1, & Audeze LCDx what else are on the market if you own those already?

I may have posted this already, but is there a cheap and easy way to fix slippage on the PS1000? I like to configure the earcups in the smallest possible configuration with rodblocks flush against the earcups. However, the left block keeps sliding up as I listen and as a result the driver sits...

I know this has been asked a lot of times, but I have a much larger budget than most of the people who asked. My budget is 1000-1200 dollars. I want an exciting headphone which brings your music to life, which is something that grado's are known to do. I also want a big soundstage. Specifically...

I am thinking about slapping high performance powerlinks on my source (Ayre QB-9) and headphone amp (Bryston BHA-1). The phones are Grado PS1000s, very very revealing.   Have any of you guys tried the high performance power link?

Just curious... or are you guys only going to satisfied until you've gotten the Stax SR009? ...Because I've pretty much reached my pinnacle, the Alessandro MS-Pro's. They are definitely end-game for me! Heaps of clarity and detail yet doesn't render My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless'...

List some headphones that can be considered ugly/strange/funny looking but actually have a very good sound

Hi guys, I've been lurking here for a while and was looking to get your advice on my next set of headphones, Currently listen to a W5000(most stuff) or DT250 80Ohm(rap & rnb) and was looking for a new set of headphones to either complement or replace what I have, Currently using a NFB10-SE...

Please recommend me full-sized headphones that can play great WITHOUT expensive amplifier, DAC/source. The headphones themselves can be expensive. I just want to keep my system very simple and convenient, even at a cost of not getting the optimum performance. Thank you!

Currently I've got: Denon AH-D7000 Audio-GD NFB-12   I've been considering upgrading for a while, but I got a nice pair of Sierra-1 speakers so I put it off for a while. I recently moved from a house in Austin, TX to an apartment out in Bellevue, WA and can no longer listen to my...

Introduction:   I'll be comparing a three hour listening session with the HD800 in a quiet store to over a thousand hours of home listening with my PS-1000. I'm only considering the songs I heard on the HD800, which are songs I'm very familiar with on the PS-1000.     Equipment:  ...

Hi all,   I want a set of headphones as flat, realistic, accurate and detailed as possible for mixing and mastering applications. I was thinking something in the lines of HD800, T1, LCD2, SR-007 and 4070. Any suggestions?

  (Just a quick note, high end audio is highly subjective, and this review goes over strictly my honest thoughts on the PS1000, can people may disagree about what they hear with their ears)   The Grado PS1000 is considered one of the best headphones available in the headphone world and has...

I looked around this fourm a couple of times over the weeks as I have been searching for some nice over the ear headphones, but nothing has been exactly what I am looking for. Now I am not a huge audiophile, I like nice sound for a decent buck and I don't know a lot about the technicalities, but...

Just received our new shipment for the PS1000 from Grado Brooklyn!  Bring your own source and demo it along with Grado's other signature headphones and earphones like GR10, SR325, SR225, SR125, SR80, SR60.    (taken from the store)   We also just received our shipment of HifiMAN headphones...

I have a couple of questions for the Grado Junkies.   Is there anyway that anybody has listened to every one of them , or at least like 5 different ones...post some comments here about what you liked and what seemed to be the best bang for the buck and so forth...interested in as much info...
