ok I have the price range of around 170$ and am looking heavily into ultrasone cans (as I have a grado sr125i and use it for rock, I want something to use for hip hop and movie listening that will sound just as well with rock and can be run out of a PA2v2)   so can someone who has heard/or...

So i have recently been into the HD audio scene. I currently have a set of the Bose QC2 and QC3 headphones (gifts from grandma). But i know i can do better. So i have had a growing interest in other HD sets mainly Grado and Sennheiser. But i have a few questions regarding things i have seen/read...

Just wanna ask the headphone gurus for recommendations...   I'm looking for a headphone that is an upgradable for SRH-440   I'm thinkin' of budget inbetween $100~200   Thnx for your help!

Hi.  I just compulsively bought a pair of SR80's on the fleabay.  I saw the box and it was the older vintage model.  It was a buy now and I just lost a pair of vintage SR125's the other day that was a buy now because I was researching them to long.  So I eagerly (also perhaps stupidly) jammed my...

well...what are they?

Ok, I'm new here, and you guys convinced me to get a semi decent pair of headphones (Samson SR850s aka Superlux HD668bs), and I'm soooooo glad--I'm listening to Metallica on my crappy bluetooth headphones, and I can't believe how bad it sounds. I can't wait 'till my new cans arrive!    ...

Audiophiles: Ugh, why do all kids wear Skullcandies, do they just go for the looks and not the sound quality?   Aviators come out, with excellent sound quality from what I've heard.   Audiophiles: OMG I cant be seen wearing that ridiculous brand name & logo!!!   ...

I just purchased a set of Grado flat pads for my SR-225s. I'm looking at these things that I paid $35 for, and I'm wondering if I would have been better off getting a pair of $10 comfie pads that come on the SR-60, and quarter-modding them.

I'm assuming you're all audiophiles, so hopefully you'll know what you're talking about and will be able to help me.   The key things I want would be -a detachable cable (preferably one that isn't 20 feet long, I actually want to be able to walk around with an mp3) -balance (I understand...

to my sr125i's. Was thinking of ath ad700s but am still deciding. Looking for suggestions/opinions thanks. I listen to mostly metal/rock.

I'm calling this a "Stupid Grado Mod" because it's so easy, it hardly merits mention - except I found the results irresistibly good. I got a pair of HF-2s. The previous owner had good things to say but commented negatively on the comfort of the L-Cush bowls, what I call doughnuts. He was...

Hey guys, I just bought the Grado SR60i and I think they are wonderful, however I dislike  few things:   - Sound leakage - Harsh highs -Not enough bass - No carrying case   I listen to mostly electronic music, and some songs sound too high pitched to listen too, Can anyone suggest...

Currently I use the Audio Technica ATH-AD700s, for computer and audio receiver, also have JVC-RX900s. As I would like to try differant headphones, I was thinking of getting Grado SR-80is or SR-125i. Has anyone used both the Audio Technica and Grados?

I'm looking to upgrade from pa2v2 and wondering if a Hornet would be a good option. I'm using Grado SR-125's and I'm looking for better resolution, tighter bass, and overall better transparency in an amplifier. My budget is up to 350. If not Hornet, what else might you recommend? BTW I'm used to...

I'm thinking about buying a decent pair of open headphones to compliment my D1001s (and I also want to hear the Grado sound), but I'm having trouble deciding between these two. I want to know if the MS1s are worth the extra 30 dollars over the SR60. I'm a bit concerned by the treble of the SR60...

  Simple question: I screwed up my cable when in was sleeving my it, so i need a new cable. I've heard that Grado's stock cables are pretty good, so I don't wanna go down in class but it doesn't either need to be an upgrade. Could someone recommend a cable that is equal to Grado's?  ...

I have searched google and read lots of thread, but I still cannot find a shop that sellers Grado SR80i in a reasonable price in CANADA. Amazon.ca puts the price at $169, which is atrociously high. U.S. stores are subject to shipping restrictions. The normal price in US is $99. I would like to...

I've read conflicting things about the PortaPro vs the PX100. When assessed individually, people tend to say the PortaPro is dark and muddy, bassy and has somewhat rolled off highs. When the PX100 is assessed individually it is said to be dark as well, and laid back and lush...etc... But when...

  Hi there   I currently own a pair of SR-125 and I'm looking for closed cans to complement them. Seeing all the M50 hype, I read on those, dug around and narrowed my choice to the DJ1s after reading the M50 vs HFI-580 thread (would pick the DJ1 over the HFI-580 because the pads can lay...

Preface:   Hi, I'm a student on a budget and I need some advice.  (Note:  because I think it might be relevant here, I am slightly deaf.  For the most part I can hear ok, but do have trouble hearing high frequencies).   I have recently ordered: Sennheiser HD595 ($130) Sennheiser...

Hi all,   I'm looking for a pair of headphones that has slimmer ear cups and and slimmer overall appearance than something like, say, the ATH M50s. After looking around I've picked a few that I thought might work well. First up is the Ultrasones. Perhaps the HFI 780s? Then perhaps the Grado...

Ok, I  unfortunately live with parents, so I can only listen to music via headphones. I've search several entertainment stores and all I can find is rubbish junk that is waste of money.   I would like quality headphones (price range up to $400), that would: Be comfortable even with long...

If we omit the limited editions on that basis that they dont come up in FS very often, I believe that leaves us with :   SR60,SR80,MS1,SR125,SR225,MS2,SR325,RS2,MS-PRO,RS1   All I need now is my own island, access to every track every recorded (losslessly) and I could be happy with...

My sr125is. Never attempted any sort of mod and been really wanting to add woodies, quarter mod the comfies, place holes in the driver, and remove the cloth from shells. Is it worth it? Potential risks? Thanks
