Sennheiser HD650 Review Introduction Well, those that read my Sony MDR-SA5000 will note that I was a little disappointed in the SA5000’s small headstage and lack of resolution. I started doing some research on a headphone that could compliment them, something that would just let the...

Hello,   I might be getting some Grado SR325 headphones. These are not the 'i' version, as they are 5 + years old.   The guy will let me have them for £100, because he knows me etc.   Will the SR325 be a big difference over my beloved old SR80s?   Regards.

Hey guys. I kept reading that for high end headphones, you would want an amp. Problem is I only listen to music when I'm on the go. Do they have portable amps for the K702? Why do I need an amp? It is a 62ohm headphone. Would it not sound good if I didn't use an amp? Just out of curiousity, are...

I did some searching on the forum, but didn't come up with a very clear comparison between these two Grado models. The 325i's are a bit pricey for me, so I'm figuring if they are very close in sound signature I might just get the 225's. The 325's were recommended to me by a guy who has mixed...

i don't know if this has been done before, but i would love to see a thread devoted to custom-made woodied Grados (not RS1/RS2/GS1000) - either ones that you made or purchased. would be nice to keep comments to a minimum, so the emphasis can be on the headphones themselves. here is a pair of...

I've been looking through a lot of best headphone threads and it seems that the RS-1i are the best choice for metal. I listen to a lot of 80s thrash, 80-90s death metal and third wave black metal. I also listen to other metal subgenres like heavy metal, doom metal and other music genres such as...

Firstly, I just want to let you guys know that I'm not one of those guys who just jumps in expecting everybody to do the leg work for me on this. I've been reading up on a few sets for the last few days and as I'm sure most of you know or have experienced, that has only made things worse.   ...

I know this subject has been touched upon before but not quite with this bent.   I've had a set of Grado SR 325's for year.   Honestly they they don't have more than 30 hours on them but that's another thread.   I am a regular hifi junky, with a lot of Linn gear, amps, pre, speakers etc.  I fine...

I currently own two pairs of Grado headphones -- Alessandro MS1 (purchased in 2007) and Grado SR325is (purchased 3 weeks ago) -- and in both pairs, my left earcup has fallen off the little metal peg that goes into the black plastic connector on the cup housing.   Each time, this has happened...

Hey guys!   Been looking into headphones specifically for the aforementioned genres. After doing some research within the forums, and many many many threads later, i've come to the conclusion that the HD600 and HD650 are the top contenders. Which do you guys suggest and why? Any opinion will...

Well saw the 325 owners club and that is really just for the 325's so I figured the RS series should get there own fan club and serial number thread.  Discussion on amping and or music prefrnece with these.   Owners/Modle/Serial Numbers 0000 Grado RS2 (no serial) - willmax  3505 Grado...

Hi All, Congrats on what looks like a kick-ass community.   Anyone know the "too many hobbies" feeling? With bikes, guns and cars, I'm trying really hard not to drown myself in headphone info as I have a tendency to dive in deep and let it consume all my time.  It would be very much...

Hi guys,   I'm looking for good sounding, comfortable headphones that's between $150 and $250.   I currently have an AD700, and while they are great for gaming, I find them a bit underwhelming for music and movies.   I listen to mostly rock and I do enjoy some bass (not too much...

I've heard of both being used as dampening material. I have a hard time believing there isn't a clear winner between the two simply because of the huge differences (putty vs sheets). Anyone care to speak a little on the subject?

Hey everyone, so firstly I'll apologise for making another one of these threads but I've spent a few days searching through the forums but due to the numerous factors which I need to consider I figured it would be beneficial to make a thread. Firstly, this is my first foray into headphones so...

LCD-2 owners, do you find your headphones to be the be-all end-all when it comes to listening pleasure? As in that's the only pair you'll need for the foreseeable future. Or is there another pair (or pairs) that you feel compliments the LCD-2? Possibly picking up slack in the areas where it...

Hi all,   First, a brief rundown on how I got to where I am today: I've previously been using a set of ATH-M50s cans for the last few years until recently when I decided I wanted to try something new. So I picked up the Grado SR325is. Which initially I quite liked. Then I also bought a Beyer...

I heard they are both good for there money. I want something to listen to music on (maybe take them around places) and do a bit of studio monitoring with them. I'm going for something, perhaps $100 or less 

I saw someone with a custom IEM, but unfortunately, he got on the train going uptown while I was going downtown and didn't get a chance to speak to him to find out what model he was using...   I've seen someone wearing a Audio Technica M50 while I was taking a walk through the park.  ...

Hi. I'm looking to get a new set of headphones, and after reading some posts it is my understanding that Grado will give me the most for my money.  I was just wondering which series would be the best for me.  I'm not really into bass so much, but i do like to hear the details of songs.  Lately...

  Hi there,   I am long time reader and first time poster. I am planning on upgrading my current equipment which is as follows:   Computer: HP Workstation Music Software Used: Media Centre 16 (by J. River) Music File Format Used: FLAC Headphone Amp: Musical Fidelity M1 HPA...

My objective with this thread is to create a a list for the newer members that details the "full name" and price of all of the headphones targeted at a more head-fi like audience (so well skip the cheap / no name headphones that are just that for a reason). When i first made my way over here to...

Hello everyone,   Firstly - thank you to the incredible community out here, which has helped me through purchases (Grado SR80, 325, Sennheiser CX300, IE7, Klipsch Image S4) at various points of time.   I have a Grado SR325is currently. Absolutely love the cans. I hate the 6.3mm jack...

Hi everybody,   I'm looking for new In-Ears, especially for Metal (Black, Death, Thrash, Power, Heavy, Progressive, etc.). I got Graod Cans (SR325) and I love them and their sound. I saw Grado has released In-Ears, so I want to know, whether they sound like the big Grados.   Does anybody...
