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...

Been using the Ultrasone pro 650 for awhile. then I got the DBA-02. and I would like to upgrade my headphone to a much clearer criper detailed headphone. Need one that kind of portable but can be used at home. needs to be closed back of course. price doesnt really matter but has to be under...

Budget:$300   I'm getting the Fiio E11 as an amp Music: Pop/Rock(Lossless)   Please recommend me a Circumaural can. I don't mind them if they were opened or closed but i need them to be large and comfortable.   Currently looking at the Shure SRH940. Any better recommendations?

    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...

I've owned my Kicas Caliente for approx. 2 years now, and am totally in love with it... It brings out the best of all my headphones. My Senn HD650, Denon AH-D2000, and Grado SR325is all sound fantastic when plugged into the Caliente. Then about six months ago I purchased the Audio Technica...

As the title says.

I've sent them to Grado twice to have the cables replaced, paying $45 + shipping each time.   When I get them back, they're in pristine condition, but the cables fail shortly thereafter (less than a year). I use them daily, but it's not like I'm a sound engineer, using them 10 hours a day...

Firstly, I am somewhat of an audiophile neophyte, but trying my hardest everyday to learn as much as possible.   Now, I'd like to upgrade my DAC and AMP. I'm not sure if I should go with a DAC/AMP combo like the Yulong D100 or go for something I really want like a dedicated AMP and dedicated...

I sent this as a PM to Billavideo, however he doesn't seem very active as of lately so I was hoping for some outside help =)   I was reading a thread about making the SR325is sound better and I came across this post.   Quote:     Naturally I don't value sleep so this sound very...

I've been debating with myself lately if to let go of my SR325is(let me know what you think of my price btw) and go with top tier universal IEMs. I searched for a consensus on these forums to no avail. My belief is that Fullsize headphones have more bang for their buck, is this true? When you...

hi i have a bit of a dilema  i have bought a pair of new 325is form ebay and also a used set of rs2 (no i) my friend will take the pair i don't want but i need help deciding. as the 325 won't be burnt in they will sound a bit naff so comparing when they arrive isn't really fair.   so...

I'm trying to decide if I should spend the extra $$$ for the Grado RS-1i over the RS-2i.  Is there a significant difference between these models to justify the $200 price difference? 

I've been in a massive internal conflict to decide if I should keep my Grado SR325is headphones. The problem is definitely not the sound, but the portability. I really need something I can lug around with me on bus commutes and not look completely idiotic wearing them. The Grado SR325 design...

I am going to be purchase a pair of new headphones tommorow but I am looking for a step up from the MTPCs. I adore my MTPCs but after hearing some of the Grado's qualities I started craving certain aspects my IEMs did't project. I decided that a hybrid between the MTPCs and Grados Cans would be...

I've owned these Grado SR325is for about a week and let them burn in for 45hours. Being a fairly new member of the high-fi community my first purchase was MTPCs around a year ago. That paired with my iBasso T3 amp is the only setup I have had experienced until this purchase. My impressions will...

I've lightly looked into this, but it seems the topic is so loose there isn't a recommended way. Is there some sort of site or place I can get the proper audio to do this. I found this site and was wondering if this would be good enough for burning in: http://www.burninwave.com/   What...

I just received my 325is' in the mail a couple days ago and naturally I am a big fan of the SQ. I however had comfort issues out of the box and have been messing around with the headband since. Numerous threads confirmed that bending the headband will effect sound and I have experienced this...

Hi,   I have the LCD-2 rev2 but i would like to have a very good second pair of headphones. Althought the LCD-2 are THE headphones (IMHO), there are some things or circumstances where other headphones can do it better.   I'm looking for a headphones that meet the following criteria:  ...

I currently own two pairs of Grado headphones -- Alessandro MS1 (purchased in 2007) and Grado SR325is (purchased 3 weeks ago) -- and in both pairs, my left earcup has fallen off the little metal peg that goes into the black plastic connector on the cup housing.   Each time, this has happened...

Hi,   Recently my grandmother bought me a pair of Grado SR325is as a surprise. I will mainly be using these headphones in study hall and at home. I am in need of an amp that I can just put in my suitcase or backpack and take along. I was looking at the Grado RA1 but I am not sure if it is...

Hello Head-Fi, this would be my first post here. I'm looking to expand to an additional pair of headphones and I've got about $200 to spend. I have a pair of DT990s, and I quite like them, in the past I had a pair of 880s, but I kept going back to the 990s and let them go.   I listen to a...

Hey guys, First time here; I'm looking to upgrade my current audio setup to a set of full cans (looking at AKG 701/2, Senn 598, 600, 650, Grado 325is, Beyer 880/990 so far; I've tried the AKGs and the 598s, both of which I liked, but didn't have a ton of time to try them, so didn't form any...
