This will be my first investment in mid/high end cans. Used the forums search feature as well as google to absorb as much info about these models as I could. I know an opinion is just that, an opinion. Still, any input on either of these cans would be appreciative. Obviously, sound quality means...

ok, here i go...i know that  this ''help me choose threads'' really annoys u...but i did some research before posting and most of the people ask if.... the headphones that they heard that are good, and wanna buy, suits their tastes...i'll do it vice-versa i mostly listen to...

Can you visually tell if the current MS2 is base off the updated SR 325is?   Thanks.  

I am selling my SONY cd-3000s because i dont use an amp and they just didnt sound too powerful or punchy (poor bass) with my MP3 player. But i loved the sweet sony sound.   I want to replace them with a  pair of headphones or IEMs. To mostly use it with a MP3 player but occasionally with...

So I had myself deadest on a set of SR325i's or RS1's, coming from owning a pair of 225's back in 2001 which I foolishly sold. But as I've read reviews around here, I see a set of cans that vie never considered before, which are the hifiman HE-5's. I'm more of a rock/prog rock listener, some...

So which one would you go for? Save up for the 325i or take the 325 offered to me for $150?? Also bowls or comfies for 325?

Hello all,   I have a pair of Grado 325i headphones which I find heavy and uncomfortable. I am looking to replace them with something lighter and more comfortable which I can use on my travels too via my Zune HD. I predominately listen to death/thrash/goth/femme/metalcore music and I am...

Hi   I'm searching for an amp for those two headphones. My maximum budget is about $300.    Actually I have an Indeed Hi-Fi G2 amp, but the Fostex demand more "meat", so I was thinking of a Maverick Audio A1 or similar tube amp or a solid state amp, but I'm very lost in the SS amp...

Ok, I've been saving my money , working a full time job in construction to buy a new set of headphones. I live in Toronto Canada, but its so hard for me to find places were they let you try out the headphones before you buy them. I'm not a big fan on "blind" buying. ( I want to know my money I...

Having recently upgraded to some Grado Sr325is'...and very happy about it mind you - I'm considering a potential upgrade in the Amp/Dac area. I'ver taken fellow head-fi-er's advice about upgrading the source files (lossless) and have truly noticed a huge difference and have been diligently...

  Hi.. I'll try to make this as short and straight to the point as possible :)   My current setup: PC -> 0404usb via usb -> HD555. Sounds decent in my opinion for entry level however, i'm not too pleased with the bass levels and punch. I don't know if its the HD555, the 0404usb or myself...

Looking to get some decent headphones to work with my electronic piano. I read some really good reviews for the Grado Prestige headphones, and ended up getting those. Unfortunately, they intermittently gave out some sort of static from the left ear, and sometimes in the right ear or both.  ...

Hi all, After many years away from the headphone game, i re-entered the realm by purchasing a pair of Grado 325is about a month and a half ago. Straight out of my computer's soundcard, with WAV files and MP3s (minimum 192bit), the phones sound very neutral, open, dynamic, clean, clear and...

I currently own a pair of Grado SR-80i headphones and love them to death. I experienced a major "Wow" when I first put them on. Music through headphones never sounded so clear and open. I generally listen for between 2 and 3 hours a night with them and don't find them fatiguing, which was a...

Just throwing this general discussion out there. Post your grado mods. Pads, cables, headband, earcups, woodwork... ANYTHING Goes!! Pics would be nice, but certainly not needed. Text will do just fine Garrett

Hi, im looking for headphones i can use for my metal music. I was looking at the Grado SR225 and SR325is because this forum has been saying that Grado is best for metal music. But i think they are too valuable to bring it outside and to school. The headphones are open (i think, my knowledge of...

Hi everyone, can you guys help me decide a combo of headphone with amp/dac with the budget of $700? Most of the time I listen to J-Pop and classical music. A little bit rock sometimes, but not much. I like something that is detailed and has good imaging. Thanks.   Edit: my source is the...

Please help me to decide (thinking of selling my musical fidelity M1 HPA). At the moment I am not happy with sound quality of hd650 if paired with Musical Fidelity M1 and at the same time i am quite happy with M1 if matched with grado sr325is So am I going to sell the amp and buy Shiit Valhalla...

I'm having trouble deciding between these 2.   I mostly listen to Rock and Rap and I hear Grados are great at these genres....would they be better then the HD600?     I'm going to be using these headphones with the magni/modi combo or the Audio-GD NFB-15.32

Alright, I'm conflicted about which Grados pair of headphones to get. I have only around 150 to spend and I want to upgrade the headphones to over the ear with the G cushions shortly after I get them. All I'm concerned about is, do the SR80i's lose sound quality with then on because I've read...

I just ordered the Grado SR325is online. I have only owned gaming headsets before. I will be listening to music through my PC. My motherboard is an ASUS Sabertooth Z77, the onboard audio features: - Absolute Pitch 192kHz/ 24-bit True BD Lossless Sound - Optical S/PDIF out port I also have a...

okay, I got a Grado Mod that I want to share with the Head-Fi community. I have been using it for a year now and selfishly keeping it to myself. I thought I wanted to package the idea and sale it to try and purchase the equipment I cannot afford. would you pay a few bucks for it? after seeing...

I've been listening to my Grado SR325is from an Asus Xonar Essence ST  on my desktop computer, but I would like to be able to enjoy them around the house or out in the backyard while I'm relaxing.    I have an older ipod nano and an iphone 5 for music sources and aquired a Sennheiser 1/4 ->...

Hello guys! I have a quick question.   I have listened to the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium and the Grado Sr 80i. Even though the DT 880 is sometimes 2 or 3 times more expensive (depending on location) i find myself liking the Grado more only because of it's more "natural" sound. IMO the DT880...

When I first heard the p5 I really liked them.  I'm sure build quality had an influence.  I was all ready to take the $300 plunge but thought I should at least check out what else there was at that price point.  Enter the Grado 325is.  I listened to both side by side and the grados made the p5...
