Goal:To find in-ear headphones in price range up to €200 for personal listening produced music. Mic and support for Windows Phone 8 and Android is a bonus, not a must. What is a must is sleek, bling-free design combined with Grado SR60s like performance/euro.   Current headphones: Grado...

I am really enjoying my Grado SR60's and listening to some tool. When I listen to heavier music like Tool, I like it loud. I'm just not really sure how loud is too loud, what is a comfortable volume level and how do you test? I don't want to damage my ears, but I really like to here it...

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...

Please could someone suggest the best headphones for rap music under £120? I listen to Kanye West, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar and Big Sean, so basically recent rap music. I also listen to a bit of pop music, pop-punk like Blink-182 and pop-rock music like Maroon 5 here and there. I will be hugely...

Hello. First posting and new member, but long time guest at this site.   I've had my AKG-44 for many years now. My AKG have been good to me so far and have enjoyed listening to music (all types.) Recently hearing a pair of headphones at a friends house makes me feel I've been in the dark...

I recently got a pair of Grado Sr60s, which are my first pair of open headphones. (Im loving them so far, quite different from my HD280s, each has their purpose) So my speakers and headphones are both hooked up to my computer using a splitter. When listening to my grados today I accidently...

I enjoy mine except for the fact the over the ear gets really warm and makes my head sweat :) Pls recommend one, may be circumaural, at same price range and similar performance. Hopefully a bit better ergonomic. Edit: I have a big head and I find a lot of phones are too small and tight. With...

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...

I recently moved over from the US to the UK, and am balking at some of the prices for headphones. I'd like to pick up a pair of headphones that are about $100 (or £65), but I find that almost everything that is overpriced compared to the US. For example, I've heard good things about Grado SR60s...

Hey folks   I'm trying to decide on a new set of 'phones for portable use (I have a Colorfly 3 mp3 player)   My music taste is eclectic, covering most basses, but I am particularly fond of country and bluegrass music, so any headphone will have to excel at reproducing stripped back...

If you won the lottery what headphone setup would you buy?

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...

I've never been a fan of Grado Labs headphones, or open-back headphones for that matter, but this new e-series has taken me by surprise, i must say; wow oh wow, the new e-series is quite something.   The spiel from Grados website...   . Every single component, surface, and material...

I have looked up many headphones on Ultrastone and Bayerdynamic and i mean all of the PRO and HFI series in Ultrastone and DT ones by Bayerdynamic. First of all, i am ameteur when it comes to headphones. i have only had a Grado SR60 and a Sennheiser 280  My Music collections include   Bands...

I'm new :)   Currently looking for $300 - $400 (no stretching price) open back fun. I listen to EVERYTHING. I want as wide a range music and movie headphone as I can get.   ATM I Have: Sennheiser 598 Topping TP41 amp   http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=310-324...

I adore my 325is, but the looks i get from people when i'm at getting coffee or something  make me wanna pick up closed headphones. Are their any headphones out there that give me the sound of Grado?

I have owned my pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80's for about a year now, however I have been using them un-amped up until yesterday. I recently received my first amp and DAC combo (I bought a Schiit Magni and a Topping D20), and I have noticed a bit of a strange issue. At particular volume...

Good morning guys, I'm not really sure if this is the right place for my thread I'v just registered this moment and I'v been searching lately for the best headphones I can find for my budget around $70-75 maybe a little bit more but surely not over $80.   I mainly listen to rock/metal and as...

Hi   My SR60's broke - the driver gave up, and it wasn't the hair problem.  A repair company has told me they can fit new SR60i drivers in them for £40 ($60 USD).   My question - should I get the repair with the new SR60i drivers, or is there a headphone on the market that you think is...

i've been passive/aggressively bashing the 280 on these boards ever since i got them. firstly, the clamping force on these things were ridiculously high. i realize that their intended use is for monitor situations, but regardless, i was stuck with them. i left them dangerously in a stretched...

I have sr80 and I want to take out the driver from the ring shape cylinder (I want to take out the drivers like this picture) so I can put magnum drivers. Should I use super glue remover to take them out? I think grado use the super glue to attach the driver and the cylinder. Any suggestion...

So today I walked into a small shop in Minneapolis ( needle doctor) to pick up a pair of sr60i's for another modding project... And I ended up auditioning most of the grado line. I loved the rs1, the detail was simply awesome (love those mids and highs) the bass was very good compared to every...

For people wanting to buy a first GREAT headphone for home use while being money conscious. and to spare fresh headphone audiophiles save time on their decision and research here are my thoughs: The Sennheiser HD580 and the Grado SR-60 are the best bang for your buck audiophile headphone...

These headphones look like Beats Solo HDs, but sound much much better in my opinion. Beats Solo HD headphones sound boomy and muddy to my ears, but the Zoro HD's sound like high fidelity phones. I took these headphones to a Fourth of July parade, I had my relatives try them out, and two of them...

Music from iTunes is 128 right? Is it worth getting a pair of amazing headphones and an amp to listen to this type of music? I'm not going for the FLAC files and 320 kbps songs but I want a great pair of headphones and an amp. Is it worth an upgrade from lets say a sr60 to d2000 even...
