hello, would like to kindly ask if anyone would have a good recommendation for a headphone with that setup... currently I have a grado sr-60, and an akg414p, not too impressive.. but I'm new to audio equipment... so I thought of trying it out... I'm listening mostly through my computer with the...

Okay, I've never purchased a pair of headphones that cost over $20 before. I have used quite a lot of headphones in my time however, and I know that the full-size headphones that cover your entire ear is what I want. I think it's called circumaural? Like I said, I'm new to this. I want this...

I've been devouring forums lately, over the last several days I've been through hundreds of posts, but I can't find what I want. Or  rather, I can't find out what I want to want. I guess everyone tends to differ in their exact needs.. Anyways, I want headphones that are bright, but not...

I own around 5 pairs, 2 of them I normally use on a daily basis. I'm thinking of selling the rest because first of all, I only have one head and secondly, I barely use them now) but I'm not sure if I'll miss them... Here's what I have:   Denon D2000(I use almost everyday) Sennheiser HD...

The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

Hi, head-fi community. It's my first thread here. I'm looking for good headphones and surfing through other threads I stumbled on these models:   Grado SR125/225/325i Grado SR60/80i Alessandro MS1/2i Audio Technica ATH-AD900 Denon AH-D2000 Sennheiser HD 650/750 Beyerdynamic DT...

Hi guys, I am new here! I used to be an IEM guy, I own a pair of sennheiser IE6, but it broke :(. Recently, I am getting interested in over ear headphones. I read up about closed vs open but still can't really decide which is better and to be honest, still quite confused on the technical...

Hi everybody,     I use a Grado SR125. I got a chance to compare them with my brother's headphones FA-003. I am using them with the same player as I do with Grado.  I've tried jazz with vocals such as Billie Holiday, Jeanne Lee etc. The vocals are amazing and better than in Grado.    ...

I want to buy sr125e but I see that it is on-ear which I worry might give too much pressure to the ears and hurt them on the long run.  I used to have a noise cancelling Bose (QuietComfort 15) and it was pretty comfortable to wear but it had a strange ear pressure (not on the ear itself but the...

Hello,      Somewhat new here. Please bare with me. I am looking for headphones in the 100-150 price range. I will be listening on my ipod. No amps or anything like that. Most of the post I have seen so far are recommending only bass HEAVY headphones. I don't know if there is much difference...

Hey, Long time lurker, first time poster!  A topic that has been covered hundreds of time, but please bare with me!   I've decided that I want to take the plunge into mid/hifi headphone listening.  I currently own a pair of Sennheiser IE6 and Sennheiser HD202, but recently I've been listening...

Hi! :)   I'm in need of recommendation to replace my previous in-ear headphones which have stopped working.   The previous ones I had were either this or something very similar: http://www.sennheiser.ca/live/senn/produit/en/1013/160.    My experiences with these are as follows:  ...

Can anyone pls suggest, My Grado 125 no sound out for left channel. After I didn't use it for 9 months, I've found its sound silent for left channel. It's cable is ok but its voice-coil has no resistance (When check with Multimeter).   What I should do....           

I'm looking for comfort, sq, and durability.  I will be using them at home with a pc for extended periods of time (up to 5hrs). So far I've been looking at Grado sr125i and Sennheiser hd 558 headphones, but I want to know if there is anything better in the 200$ price range. I don't have an...

First off, I am no audiophile but I know a few terms from working with car audio for a short bit to include crossovers, curves, EQ, clipping etc.. Here's my equipment; iPhone 5 utilizing the app: EQ 10 Equalizer for the iPhone 5 by David Ross and my trusty Senn's IE8's set at a little more then...

Hi guys,   I'm getting a pair of free Beats Solo HD. I am selling them even before I'm getting them, and I'll probably get around 180 € for them. Instead, I want to buy a pair of audiophile headphones, something the range of Grado SR125i's, I was looking at Alessandro MS-1i. Are there any...

Hello all. I have been reading for days on this site and I am really struggling with a new purchase. I have owned a pair on cheap Sennheisers (can’t find them at the moment), a pair of Bose AE2 and a pair of B&W P3. I returned the Bose and bought the B&W P3 and then returned the P3s as I just...

I think my Grado SR125 are too bright and my Denon D5000s just right.  But when I A/B them to my friends, they inevitably pick the Grados, sometimes using words like "clear" and "transparent."  Personally, I think it is just because people associate loud with good, and I notice the Grados are...

Has anyone got suggestions for replacing the little black plastic nubs on the end of the RS-1 antennas? It seems they come off relatively easily, and the headphones look a bit odd without them. Is it possible to get replacements from Grado? I've e-mailed them, but no reply yet.

These headphones look like Beats Solo HDs, but sound much much better in my opinion. Beats Solo HD headphones sound boomy and muddy to my ears, but the Zoro HD's sound like high fidelity phones. I took these headphones to a Fourth of July parade, I had my relatives try them out, and two of them...

Hi guys,   This is my first thread, so firstly i'd like to say hi to everyone on the forums :)   Now down to business...   I just bought myself some Grado SR125i's (awesome) and i've been looking at making some detachable cables (with a 3.5mm jack) to replace the originals (6.3mm...

Soon will have the iFi iDSD Micro DAC and plan to use it at work listening to a combination of lossless (flacs) and streaming internet audio.   I have a pair of Sennheiser HD25 studio headphones which I use mostly on set ( I do a lot of camera-film work) and also in the office because of their...

In the market for a new set of cans to possibly replace my Grado SR125s.     Will be going into a iDSD Micro DAC.   Would either the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x  or the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO's be considered a step 'up' or 'down' from the Grado?   I love the sound of the Grado's, but find them...

What is your guys' general thoughts on the Grado SR-125's?? Are they the best "lower end" Grado's available? (assuming the "high end" starts w/ the 225's, which seem to be quite a step up) Also, how would you compare them to the MS-1's? You can basically get a used pair for the same price as new...

I am confused by different opinions about the Grado SR 125's by HeadRoom and Stereophile respectively. HeadRoom's rating: 2.5 (out 5). Stereophile Recommended Components (2004): "Class B : 'The SR125 is a natural, detailed, and warm sounding headphone, with extended frequency extremes...
