I have been doing some reading on this forum recently and just decided to join and ask a few questions and see what people think. I am looking to get a new pair of headphones, they have to be over the ear, as on ear is very uncomfortable for me. I was talking to a buddy and he mentioned that his...

Hi,   I'm new to the forum, and also to using decent headphones with my Hi-Fi.   I recently bought a pair Grado RS2is. I'm using them with a Graham Slee Novo amp and a Linn Klimax DS streamer. I've had them running in for about 48 hours. To me they sound very harsh in the highs, and a...

Hi all, can someone give me their thoughts about those two headphones? Which one is more suitable with J-Pop and classical   music? Which one has more details and better imaging? Thanks all.

I currently have the SR80i plugged into an Audioengine D1 DAC/Amp at my home computer which is a pretty good combo. I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade higher up in the Grado product line or if it will be "more of the same".   I'm also considering the AKG Q701 or K702, however...

Has anybody else had the same experience: After trying them 'all' : HD600 Sony MDR-CD3000 AGK 701 Grado 325 Sony mdr sa5000 Denon ah d5000 the circle ends with HD600. If they still produced the sony cd3000 that would be my 'final' solution. p.s. 'only' stax experience is missing

new to this site and i am looking for much needed help since i know nothing about what makes headphones good. i want headphones mainly for hip-hop/pop/R&B mostly songs they mainly play on the radio like nicki minaj, drake, chris brown, and etc.   My price range for headphones would be...

with the GS1000 pads... some say they're not huge when compared to the likes of ad700 or other notable big soundstage headphones... but it just sounds sooo damn good to me when I'm listening to classicals or orchestra songs... and it just feels like im in the concert itself... when I listen to...

SOOO I first put together a list and did a hell of a lot of research on a Vinyl + Phono + amp + HP rig for my dads 50th, then I found out how bad his hearing loss is, especially in the midrange.   I was considering the Allesandro MS2/Grado SR325 (with G-Cush pads) (and a $1100 budget for the...

I have the sr80i's and I'm looking to upgrade my pads, this is almost a must for me. I keep on reading about people debating between the Bowls, Flats and how crappy the regular comfies are. (I think? Haha) I'm looking for a little more bass and an increase, or at least not a decrease, in the...

Hi all.  I recently acquired a pair of Grado SR 325 is headphones, which sound pretty amazing as far as I am concerned.   I have one gripe however, as when I listened to a few tracks in mono, I found the sound to be slightly skewed to the left (eg the left driver was playing a bit louder...

In order not to infect and bring the SR60mod thread off-topic I thought it might be an idea to start a new thread for those of us Grado modders who want to share ideas/impressions/mods concerning their Symphones Magnums. Personally, I have been very impressed with the Magnum drivers and think...

i think it's time for me to finally be able to find the headphone that really suits all (or most) of my listening qualities so that i can have one pair i'm happy with. portable is another matter though i think i have that one picked out already. for at home i want to be able to utilize the most...

I have worshipped my 325i goldies without an amp for several years.  I have always read that Grados need an amp to coax the best from them.  After reading dozens of threads here and elsewhere I have found choosing the proper amp to be a daunting task.   So many amps.  So little time.  So, here I...

I am looking for a good set of very "liquid" or "musical" headphones. I really like the sound of my ATH A500s but I also love the sound of my etys. I liked both sennheisers and grados when I listened to them but the lower end grados seem to be a little harsh. With that said what are some good...

I recently bought a used pair of Grados 325i (not the new 325is version) on Head-Fi from Zombie_X (great to deal with by the way) and looking to buy a portable amp. Zombie-X re-cabled them with Nucleotide wire. Currently using a 5th Gen I-Pod using Apple Lossless codec. Not sure if I want an...

Someone told me this hradphone amp works nice with Grado Headphones. Is this true?   I own 2 Grado Headphones, An early SR325 & SR80s.   Regards.

I'm thinking of getting a new < $60 pair of phones for work and comfort is probably my number one priority. I was wondering if anyone who had both pairs could comment. I'm slightly worried about the comfort of the PX100 because it's supra-aural. I have a Senn HD580 and a Grado 325, and at home I...

I'm wondering if anybody knows if there are any local places where I can actually try some headphones out in the Denver, Colorado area. While the reviews on here are great, I would love to actually try some of these headphones I read about so that I at least have a better knowledge base of the...

Many of us Headwizers seem to be asking about headphones for use with portables, or without an amp. [Myself being one of them] These seem to be the most common suggestions, and it seems like a close race, so why not have a poll? If you would like to comment on why you chose what you chose...

Are these pink drivers? Or is it just a pink cover over the drivers? I'm not too sure how old these SR325s are? They have black metal cups.   http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt104/TDL-STUDIO/007-8.jpg       Regards.

I'm thinking of picking up the SR325i and can't afford the RS1. Any thoughts on the SR325i?? How do you think it will pair up with my X-V3 amp?

hi guys im after some pics of 325i's close ups of the driver grille, housing and stuff thanks

I have just bought a pair of alessandro ms2's that are about 14 months old. I was wondering if they were made with the 325's or the 325i's. I think grado came out with the 325i's in 2005? if im not mistaken. Love to know thanks

Just wondering what the differences are between the 325 and the 325i. Do some of you prefer the old version over the new one, and is there even a big difference?

** Updated at bottom **   Got my new TTVJ Slim about 3 hours ago. Dealing with Todd on the phone yesterday was cool. He's a very knowledgeable, friendly guy. I got the version without the DAC. I had it overnighted so I could use it this weekend. I plugged it in to the wall as soon as I got...
