I've been curious about Grado's for a while now. I don't listen to the genre's they are purported to work with though, which has stopped me from looking at them further. There seems to be a love hate relationship with these cans in that they only seem to be recommended for certain genres, have...

Hey all,   I have with me a home built transformer coupled tube headamp which I would be happy to introduce to anyone who is interested to give it a listen. All I ask in return is honest feedback, not limited to the sound i.e. feel free to discuss its build quality, aesthetics, etc and...

With only a few more days in 2007 left, I thought I'd put my audio experience acquired over the past year to some use to share what I think are the best of the best for headphone hi-fi. Not all these products came out in 2007 but all are still available on the market. These are, of course, my...

I got a pair of these in yesterday. After listening last night and for the past few hours, the first thing I have to say is: whoa! While it's still too early to call this my new favorite headphone (my K701 is currently out of commission and my AD2000 is gone), I can say that the RS1 is the...

Intro So, the Grado RS1. I got this headphone primarily to review the Eddie Current EC/SS amp (still in progress, and will soon appear on the virtual pages of StereoMojo), but also to check it out and see what the Grado woodies were all about. Thought I would share my findings. Equipment...

Hi folks, I'd love to expand my stereo speaker system to include headphones. My current system looks like this: Densen B-410 cd player / Oppo BDP-95 blu-ray player -> Densen B-110 integrated amplifier -> Verity Rienzi loudspeakers As mentioned in the title, I'm looking for a...

I have just narrrowly missed out on an auction for some grado gs1000 phones :-( as I want ot treat myself to a new pair. I have a pair of 225is but I think the cable has snapped inside as they are intermittent and have to twist the cord to get a connection in the left pad. I do love the sound of...

I have a Yamamoto HA-02 on order. It will go into my primary headphone rig in which I am using 600s as my can. I have never fully understood impedance (mis)matching and would appreciate some additional guidance from forum members. Specifically, with this amp, how would the 300 ohm 600s function...

I'll try and keep this short but explain my situation well enough so you can help!   I scoured the forums for hours, decided on a pair of Grado SR80i's. I listened through my iPad 2 w/ Spotify at 320kbps and MacbookPro with Flac converted to Apple Lossless in iTunes. I was initially blown...

hi, im currently using Beyerdynamic T70. Source is Sony entry level sacd player into Govibe peak hp amp. I'm considering an open can. I love Bon Jovi's song. I love drums. i listden to some vocals and acoustics. But my main objective is comfort as I want to listen to hours using the hp.  ...

Hi all.   I'm looking for something to replace my Beyer T1s and am hoping for some advice. The T1s are very transparent and detailed which I generally like but I have personally found them a bit bright and a bit distant. I'm looking for something with a fuller sound that's also more engaging...

Hi,      I am sure this happened before but I am not asking where to buy the earpads.  All I ask your advise is where to buy a non melting one (third parties also okay).  I just hated those Ashes on my ears.....   Thx Cowby

The RS-2 is on-sale locally near me for $499.99.  Would you consider picking it up? What is the best bang for your buck headphone around $500... I've spent too much on IEMs, planning to get a headphone for desktop/laptop use with my E17.

These are supposed to be one of the VERY FIRST RUN of 200 RS1s. What VINTAGE CATEGORY would these fit into...               BROWN HEADBAND     PINK DRIVERS  

Intro: So several weeks ago over in the Grado mods thread, 7Keys came up with a BRILLIANT idea. Make identical cups for Grados out of 4 popular types of North American tone woods, and have them shipped around to various members for testing! Well, I jumped on the idea right away and here I am...

 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...

So I am trying to combine 2 of my favorite things to do.. watch movies and workout on my elliptical machine.  Its an hour a day that I want to not think about work.   Right now, I have a pair of Grado RS1's hooked up to Musical Fidelity X-Can v2 amp which is connected RCA stereo to a headphone...

After spending some time on the head-fi forums, I am thinking on settling with the HE-400 for my first hi-fi pair.   However, I might go ahead and buy another sub $300 pair for comparison purposes. I was looking for a "bright" headphone that would make the sound signature appear more "fun"...

First of all, I live in Bangkok Thailand and the local retailer price of the AKG K701/K702 and the Q701 are around $440. This price is more expensive than buying from Amazon in USA. My brother lives in USA, I was wondering if there is a way for my brother to buy one of the headphone from Amazon...

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...

Howdy, Does anyone have the *old* Grado RS box, the wooden one, or one of the boxes from the Ultrasone Edition headphones, and would you be willing to provide measurements of the box? (How wide, tall, deep, etc the thing is) I'm talking about like the box in this FS...

I've discussed with peers whether this post belongs in the sound science forum or here, and I decided to post it here for the following reasons:   This study is really about the subjective experience first. And how objective measurements back up those subjective experiences rather than the...

Have aiaiais but it has veiled highs and is to bass heavy. Any suggestions?
