hi, got my pair of ms1's last friday and i was really suprised about the sound. i was just wondering, how i could just improve that experience due to so many readings through threads about these headphones. is it possible to make them circumaural? what else could i do?

Hi guys, I was hoping you could offer me some advice and / or suggestions. Recently I've been using IEM's and headphones when working overtime at the office. I'm currently using my Momentums, but since I'm usually the only person left on my floor (or the last person to leave the building), I...

Are the SR125s the most overlooked Grado?  Lots of folks jump from the SR60 or SR80 right to the SR225.  I went SR60 --> SR225 myself but always wondered about the 125s.  With the new 'e' series out, I figured why not!!!   Received them today and love 'em!   Cheers!!!!!    

Here's to all the people who want to try out all the mid/higher range headphones before you buy them, and live in the Manhattan / New York area  And here we go! :   AC Gears are #1 if you want to try out your headphones before buying them. They have a great selection, and their prices are...

Could someone describe the difference in sound I might get from a headphone amp like the Schiit Magni (apart from maximum volume, I don't need any more of that), compared to any of my current equipment? Or if the Magni is not an appreciable improvement, what sort of amp would be? Here is a list...

Hi   I would like to report some subjective observations which I think might be of help to some on these boards.   In summary, I am now convinced my Grado SR125i are a noticeable improvement over my pair of Alessandro MS1 (non i). Of course, based on my ears, my music, my equipment.  ...

Hey guys,   So I was reminiscing on my old sr125i's that I had modified with wooden cups (that I've since sold), and I'm really thinking that I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger and get some new wooden cups to put on my 325i's. I'm sort of out of the loop so who/what companies still are...

Deciding between the two. Source is an iPod,standard 256kbps files and the Fiio E11. Use for mainly metal,ex.Metallica and Alternative music. Which has better bass and soundstage/imaging

I just ordered the LCD-X and I need a proper amp & DAC for it. After quite a lot of research here's what I came up with:   Burson Conductor   From what I gather it is one of, if not, the best all-in-one package in this price segment. Yet I read that the DAC is not up to the same lofty...

Can someone confirm if Grado actually makes them in house ? For those that did the factory tour, did you guys actually see them making the drivers, like winding the copper coil onto the drivers and them forming the diaphrams and assembling them together or you just saw them inserting the...

So im thinking about purchasing some MS-1's and i'm just wondering if anyone has had any hands on experience with the 'improved' version. If so, what are the differences between the two and is it worth the extra 10$? -sc

People say Grado is the best option for rock. Why? Since a lot of my listening is rock (metal, hard rock, R&R, blues, alternative...) and STAX is kinda a risky purchase when it comes to rock, I'm thinking of getting the first Grado in my life. SR80 or SR125 I think. But I'm curious to know...

hey guys, sorry for the rather general and in-concise post. im only just getting back into my music love again.  a few years back i built a few cmoy headphone amps and a bass boost model.  now fast forward 4 years and i just got my self a set of grado sr125's and i am looking to build an amp...

So ive got a Grado SR 125i and ive done the hole punch mod. added 3 holes and feel like ive got some real good base nearly perfect amount. I also play the grados through a JDS labs C421 headphone amp. The base booste makes it sound real nice and the amp does definitely make a difference in the...

Hey guys, starting up a new build and i thought i would post it here I have a pair of Ultrasone PRO 900 headphones with a busted right driver (definitely the driver being blown and not any wiring issues) I received them this way for a decent price, so i cant complain. Originally i planned...

Hey I've been wondering about alessandro headphones for a while now. Can anyone help me out here? Anything about them, let me know, how they sound, and what are the grado equivilent's? Thanks

Hi, I've been looking around for a pair of budget headphones with a max price of about ~$150. I will be using them in noisy places, so they must have a closed/sealed design and have passive sound isolation. They need to be reasonably sturdy, and not prone to breaking under moderate stress, since...

This is my first post on this forum. Hai everyone! *waves*     So yeah, I was critically thinking about getting the ATH-M50's for Christmas this year, and I saw ALOT of reviews that said it had amazing sound quality, great mids, epic highs, and a low, deep and rich bass. But I wanted to...

      Recently I got a pair of grado SR60 with no box from ebay in superb condition;the seller does not know much about headphones so he couldn't give me additional information. The price was amazing so I took the plunge. I was more amazed when I realized what I received was not just...
