Hello all, this is my first post on head-fi.org so sorry if I lack of precision and sorry for my bad english (I'm an Italiano guy).   I'm going to have a total audio hardware upgrade and the first step to it is the choiche of the headphones. In these years i just owned a crappy pair of...

I already own the ath-m50s and triple 10s (love them both, and very happy with both), and I want to try out a pair of Grados mainly to see what the fuss is about...I'm a huge rock fan, and supposedly they are one of the best......Is there much noticeable difference between the 60s and...

I have owned my Grado SR80 headphones for almost 4 years and the plastic cable is starting to peel off from use, so I have decided to recable them.However, as I mostly use them with my iPhone, I was wondering if anybody has somehow integrated a microphone and buttons to the recabling so it can...

I have been torn the past year if I should cave into the upgradeitis and jump from my sr80's (non-i version) to a new pair of Sr225i's. Mostly because of all the comments from the Grado shrill and everyone saying that as you spend more money in the Grado line, you don't get the value. Well, I...

Picked up my sr80s today to find the right driver not putting any sound out, a little trouble shooting and figure out it was not the cable, alittle shaking of the headphone, and it comes back here and there but the bass is distorted, as it moves the coil too much and the whole thing cuts out...

First, I would like to apologize about my username. I made this account in high school, over four years ago.   Now on to the story. I apologize if this is primitive for most of you but I could use some of your advice. So I have had these Grado SR80s for over 4 years now and they've been...

I one day dropped my SR80s which have taken a beating over the years and now there is a "worse" sound in the right ear cup. It sometimes gives a faint rattle on low bass notes, and there is a loss of detail in the high end. It is also significantly quieter.    Is there any fix or do I have...

Hi good people. I'm looking to buy another pair of headphones and my budget is £100 or less. Here's what I currently own and how I'd describe their sound - 1. Shure SRH-840 (full size closed-back cans which sound generally neutral to my ear). 2. Sennheiser PX100II (lightweight open-back cans...

Just got hold of some 2nd hand Grado sr80's (not the i model) and while I like their overall detail, I can't help feeling that they have a lack of bass compared to my smooth Senn PX100-ii's.   If i do the hole punch mod will it make a significant difference and get them somewhere close to my...

After reading several threads, I'm still stuck deciding purchasing one out of the two models. There are tons of posts specific for the SR-60 mod thread, but no such thread for the SR-80 mods. Given that the two models were modded with the same after market parts would they sound identical?  ...

Hi Everyone.  I have been trying to fix an Imbalance on a pair of Stax SR80 Pro's for 6 months now. I have dis-assemble the earspeakers and looked inside.  I cannot see any varistors or components of any kind in the earcups.  Have they been modified?  Are the components missing?  All the...

I own a pair of yuin PK3's and just purchased some grado SR80's. I'm looking to get a nice little portable amp for them. My budget is $100 max. I will be using it with my macbook and also an iphone 4 or ipod classic when on the go. When I say I will take this amp out with me, I dont mean running...

Well to start off I'd like to say hello to everyone as this is my first post. I can't believe that I didn't know of the existence of these forums until recently - even though I had purchased several products from HeadRoom over the years. I purchased a Grado RS-2 after some research on these...

Are there any guides out there that will show me fully step my step, pictures preferred, to show me how to recable correctly.. If possible can you help me find one that lists the exact things to buy needed for the recable.. Thanks

Hi guys, this is my first post here at Head-fi. I've been reading the forum for a long time but today I decided to create an account.   I had a Sennheiser HD 238 Precision and I really liked it. Good design, kind of comfortable and a reasonable sound quality. Last week my dad used...

I am going to purchase either the Grado SR80i or SR225i. I've decided that they fit my preference of rock music well. I, however, don't know if it is worth it to buy the SR225i. I've never owned any good headphones before so I don't know if I'll be able to tell the difference between the two. I...

After being quiet for a year, Sunrise HIFI introduced their new earbud Charm 3. For their enthusiasm on earbud, their previous products, such as, SWD2 and Feeling 2 were very successful. However, many fans were not satisfied by the look of them, since the products were using common shells. By...

I recently purchased 3 different sets of headphones from eBay - some Grados 60's, 80's, and 80i's.   I have been the proud owner of SR325is for a year now, and love them very much.   My question is this:   I completely dismantled the 80i's with the intention of hand making wood cans...

Ever since I bought my SR-80s I have been left craving more. The detail is awesome and I really love the grado sound, but I'm not exactly sure what it is that it's lacking...I like headphones that I can kind get lost in and I feel as though its hard with the openess of the headphones...But I am...

I am doing a report for a college writing course where I have to compare three products, and I am comparing these three models of headphones.  I am also considering buying one, when I save some money.  However, I don't know a whole lot about headphones, so I thought I'd ask you guys.   How do...

Anyone know how much I can sell it? 

I fancy having my old beloved Grado SR80 Headphones modded to look like (to a degree) the Grado GS1000. Plus, I don't mind if the sound changes a little :)   Sadly, I can't do this mod because I don't have the skill and confidence. Any Particular members on here that has exp and can perform...
