GRADO SR225i with E18 and laptop running Audacious on Ubuntu

Has anyone bought the Klipsch Image X10 from Amazon recently? They are still on sale for $90. I believe sound is subjective and it probably wouldn't help me to ask. Does anyone know how durable the X10s are for home use? Do they seem worth the money?   My first and last expensive pairs of in...

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...

Hello Head-Fi community. I'm desperatly seeking your help to finish this excruciating pain my ears are suffering. I'm currently listening to my music with iphone headphones (imagine). I think it's high time I finally buy some quality cans for my ears. As "background info", I've owned several...

Hi! I am looking for a new par of headphones to buy this December. I currently have the Sennheiser HD 558 and until now I am very happy with the sound when pair with the Ipod Classic without amplification.   The ideal headphone to me should be relatively easy to drive, circumaural open...

Just bought transporter se for $730 after tax. But suddenly found that it don't have earphone output...Could anyone suggest some combinations of headphone and amp(with two earphone output better)? I like rock and new age music. For the headphones, I'm thinking of HD600/650, HE-500, mdr-z1000 or...

I've been searching head-fi for a few days hunting for the perfect set of cans for some rock (Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, Seether, Chevelle, Shinedown, etc.). Unless I'm just a complete idiot., I've realized that the Grado SR225is are the obvious choice. However, I have two questions...

I've been lurking here for the past couple of days, kinda new to high end headphones and need some advise. I have been looking at 3 different headphones. 1. Sennheiser HD 598, 2. Grado SR 225i, and the Audio Technica ATH M50S/LE. I don't have an amp yet but will be getting one very soon, I use...

New guy here, go easy. I've just gotten myself some Grado 225i's, and so far I love the sound. But the design, the plastic, and most of all the cheap cable annoys me. I'm looking for a cloth (cotton sheathed) cable that would work with the Grados. If it were a 1-sided connection on these cans...

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...

I live in Vancouver, so I drove south today to check out the store, which is in the Hawthorne district in Portland. I was initially a little underwhelmed; yes, they had a lot of headphones to demo, but it didn't seem like there were a lot of different brands, mainly Audio-Technicas and Grados...

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...

I'm planning on buying my girlfriend a nice pair of headphones for the holiday. I'm looking for great clarity that will really shine with choral music especially. Also, she listens to classical, opera, and some rock. So I believe that I am looking for headphones with great midrange response. I'd...

Hello, i'm trying to draw some conclusions here, and i don't want to rely on reviews other stuff.... I want to ask all of you on what do you think is the best portable headphone... from an average consumer's perspective...   Just to make myself clear here, i am not asking for any buying...

Hi all,   I've read threads on the subject, but after scanning the 250-IEM-Review thread I'd like to tap into the expertise on the board to get some fresh suggestions for some IEMs for motorcycle riding.  I've been away from the headphone scene for a while, and there seem to be lots of...

Background:   I am a budding audiophile who recently joined this forum to get some help on a pair of headphones.  I consider my ear to be good and I notice lots of detail when I listen to music from a good pair of speakers or cans.   I've been recording music as a hobby for a number of...

I tried both the grado sr60 and 80, both had broken cables within the first day producing little to no sound in the left ear. (I dont miss use my headphones, this problem happened instantainious in both cases) This problem has happened to me counless times and im sick of it. Can anyone suggest...

Hi   I recently bought a Harman/Kardon 3490 amp, which I chose mainly because I had heard it had good headphone amplification too (on top of all the other reasons I had). And indeed it greatly enhanced the sound quality with my ancient Sennheiser HD595 phones. I'd like to buy better...

Hi there,   Im looking for a new pair of headphones. I mostly listen to alternative rock, metal, and more like that. My budget is around E200.   At the moment I have Shure SHR240A, but I noticed they give me a headache after around an hour or so. I don't exactly know why. It feels like...

Which do you think is better? First off, I am going to be using these headphones in college in a dormitory, so there might be some noise issues, and also i might use these in public where I do not want other people to hear my music... But I am a music nut and want the highest possible audio...

Hi, I'm looking into a new pair of headphones to primarily listen to indie rock and alternative although I listen to all other genres, but rarely. Isolation isn't a problem and neither is sound leakage, I'm looking for over or on ear and a good build quality. Obviously comfort is important but I...
