I am a newcomer to the site. An issue with my Grado's actually led me here. Last time i used them everything worked perfectly, a few months stored with no use and plug them in only to hear sound thru the left channel, and very sensitive to movement at that!   Tried another source and no no...

Hi!   I love the flat-response sound of Grado SR-125 and Etymotic Research ER-4P headphones. I need to get something less expensive for use at work, since the employer is paying for it. I'm looking for over-ear headphones, open-air preferable (but not necessary) as I like to know what's...

Hey guys I'm going to buy one of the two of these cans, but I cant decide if I should really spend the extra 50 dollars if I dont have to. Any help will be apreciated

  So as mentioned in the thread title, I've had a pair of SR125's (has same body as the SR 60 and 80) for 1 1/2 years and I'm just not satisfied with the comfort level of the pads. Is it possible for me to replace the foam pads with pads that are non-foam or that are from pads of other...

Hi! Hope somebody may be able to offer some advice. I have a Marantz PM6004 amp with a Rega RP1 Turntable and a pair of Grado SR125i's. Do you think it would be of any real noticeable benefit to use a headphone amp? If it would, has anyone experience of which one I should go for? I would...

My current rig is a pair of Grado sr125's and sansa fuze with rockbox installed. I listen to mostly live music (grateful dead, kimock, phish, soundtribe, radiohead, etc...). I mainly use my headphones at work and have a fairly nice computer which I can modify. The computer already has an optical...

Hi, this is my first post. I found this forum in my search for a desktop amp. I was thinking it would be nice to buy something off the classifieds, but then further research narrowed the preferences to a couple of amps that may not be listed currently, namely the Little Dot MK i+ and the HiFiMan...

With my newly found soldering skills, I have been trying to ressurect both my out of action Grados, an SR80 and an SR125.  The left driver was out on the SR80, the right on the SR125.  Now, I took the 80s apart and simply resoldered the detached wire - bingo, all done and they wsork perfectly...

Hello guys and gals,   I recently purchased the B&W P3 headphones. I chose those as they seemed one of the best on ear headphones for under £200, according to reviews. I am happy with them bar 2 things:   1: They hurt my ears after 2+ hours of listening, due to being on ear. Maybe I have...

Hello, and Happy New Year to all ! .....   I am new to this forum, and I am happy to be here !  I have been an active member and forum contributor to Audiogon.com for many years, and I am looking forward to a nice experience with Head-Fi.  I now have a five year old pair of Grado SR-125's...

I currently use the Grados at home, but I needed something I can wear around campus. To be particular, I really like the clarity and the tonal balance that the Grados have, but I'm looking for something with a little bit more engaging of a soundstage. Price range $100-200. 

I've been enjoying my Grado SR-125's driven by a Project Head Box II amp for about five years now.  A really nice musical combination for small ensemble acoustic jazz and blues.  I've been reading a lot of good things about the Schiit Vali, and how well it gets along with Grado headphones.  Any...

Hi I am a music lover that loves listening to music with great quality earphones/headphones. Right now i currently own quiet a bit of headphones and earphones, but they aren't really that great to be honest. I bought them when I was younger not really knowing what good quality was. I have the...

Hello everyone, I was trying to get one of these http://www.amazon.com/Grado-Mini-Adaptor-Cable-Inch/dp/B001DK1ZVO for my new Grado sr125i', but it won't allow shipping to canada. If anyone knows where I can get this adapter or another like it that won't degrade the sound quality, I'd greatly...

My pads on the 125's are going. Suggestions??

Hi, I don't know if I should post this here but the company I work for will give away a pair of Grado SR125i headphones for a Facebook contest available on their page https://www.facebook.com/audioshopmt...71337822911497 If you think I should post this somewhere else just tell me, I'm new...

I got my ATH-A700s last week and just got my Grados SR-125i today. Obviously my first step up, my previous cans were ATH-M50s.    So, not sure what to think. I absolutely LOVE the A700s. They're bright, they're crisp... I love the sound and the details. An incredible step up from the M50s...

I've been lurking here for quite a while, always scoping out the recommendations on what to get to satisfy this growing urge I've had to really experience music. Oh, it started small... I originally just wanted to know what the best headphones under $100 were... Then I thought I was just...

As the owner of a no-frills amplifier (Taec AR610) and an equally low budget Denon CD player, I am wondering if there is any sense in looking to buy a pair of mid-range headphones - something like the Grado SR325i's. I am a newbie here, but I read about folk buying similar specced headphones to...

i'm looking to upgrade my turtle beach x11's and  i'm looking at getting the tritton ax pro or the tritton 720   1st question is what one is better its only for playing cod and i want the best one for hearing foot steps and directional awarness. i don't mind about music quality ect  just...

I'v recently been looking around for some open-eared headphones and I've come across Grado. Where is a good place to start with Grado for under $200? If you could link reviews or give your own, it would be really appreciated. I don't exactly care so much if its on-eared or over-eared, as long as...

Well I'm sorry for starting another recommendation thread well I was just wondering what the best pair of headphones would be for me. I am an avid classical music listener I also like the bass to be present. I don't have a budget set in stone but I just purchased the monster Ntunes on...

Here is a story I wrote for my school newspaper Del. Aware. In the article I compare the headphones Beats Studio and Audio Technica ATH-M50 after conducting several blind tests on musicians and audiophiles. Note that due to spacing issues, the article's length is limited, and therefore I could...

Through countless experiments, I found out the best angle to stack your RS1i onto the cheaper SR125. At an angle of roughly 52 degrees, the pressure of RS1i is most delicious.     My life can never be the same.

Has anyone had the privilege to directly compare each and every headphone in the Grado Prestige Series? If so, which model is your favorite sounding headphone?   I have recently had the opportunity, and I was very surprised to find that I most enjoyed the SR125i. I thought it was slightly...
