Hey head-fiers,   I'm looking for another pair of cans that I is driven well by an iPod (actually it's a Zune, but that shouldn't make a big difference) without the need for an external amplifier. Price shouldn't be much higher than 200€ (250$) Hopefully, some of you guys can help me find...

Hey guys, I have a pair of ATH-M50S and I am VERY satisfied. I switched to them from (possibly) defective HD555's and they are so much better. The problem is that I'm afraid to wear them to school (I'm 13). Are there any headphone's/iem's for under $30 that are considered "jewels"? I don't...

ok here is the deal. i am grading on the 13th of june and i am getting 100$ to spend on what i want. i currently have the shure srh840 and was going to buy the fiio e7. my question is it worth it to get the fiio e7 or should i just get grado sr60s for my metal music enjoyment. i have always...

HEY! I currently have SONY MDR-V6 and got tired of them. I am looking for better sound quality. My budget is $170 or (140 euro).    - Sound signal will be from iPod and MacBook. - Would not like to use an amplifier. - Do not care about make, size or shape. Just want to reach optimal...

Hi guys,   I'm trying to remedy this comfort issue with my new pair of M50. At first they really hurt the top of my head after 5 minutes, just the weight of it pressing down on the very top (of my soft and probably misshapen noggin). Truth be told, there's not much padding between the metal...

I've been a closet audiophile since I got SR60s a few year ago. They've kept me more then happy, but I usually found myself listening to my speakers (gasp!) at home. However,  as school gets increasingly difficult, I spend drastically more time in the library then at home...and thus I need to...

Hello everyone. I'm aware there's a big thread regarding recommendations, etc. but I don't know if I would get more replies there than on a stand-alone thread... anyway...   My home headphones are on their last breath and I'm looking to replace those at home with the ones I use every day...

I've been looking for some for so long, but the only thing I've found is Grados, but Grados won't work as the design is 100% open. My house is somewhat noisy, so me having open phones is nearly impossible for it to be enjoyable at all. M50's are the only real headphones I have, but the bass...

Over the weekend I picked up a brand new condition SR60 not the SR60i. The more I listen to it, the more I am liking the Grado sound compared to my GMP 435S. I am new to this scene having only used the MDR V600 since 2002 which my friend destroyed recently, I picked up the 435S a couple of...

Looking for a good choice for a sealed headphone. I have been listening to a pair of Grado SR60 headphones. I would like some sealed 'phones as I find myself in public/traveling frequently and the leakage is an issue. I primarily listen to classical music - vocal. I listen through an iPod...

Hi,   I have a set of Grado SR60´s and the metal headband has come away from the headphone earpiece on one side (left), I tried using superglue to glue it back in place but it still comes out.    Any ideas what I can do?   Thanks 

Hello all, first thread :3   I have owned these cans for about two months now. Within the first week, I voided my warranty with the hole punch mod (but I was thrilled with the results!)   Unfortunately, over the past week, things have been going haywire. I believe the problem to be a...

Just been given a decent bonus by my employer so decided to get my first proper pair of 'big boy' headphones. Went to my local hifi store today to demo a pair of Grado sr80s (it's either these or the audio technica m50's) and they were connected to a denon cd player that had a built in headphone...

Hello, I am quite new here. Actually, this is my first post.   So recently I have started to get more interested in quality headphones, and kind of want to become an audiophile myself. But for now I actually know how any of these things work, and actually don't have much money...   But...

  I wanted to make this thread for a long time (at least for 3 days now). And I couldn't find similar one so here we go:   Different brands have different sounds (everyone who has Grados will know). So my question is this: Which headphones represent the best qualities of each brand (or...

I really admire the man for his honesty and I consider him to be one of the best headphone reviewers.    Of course, it is subjective but one thing for sure, I hate harsh sounding headphones and Tyll knows what the crappy headphones are. I do agree with him that Grados are flawed even though...

EDIT 2*** After reading the advice for beginners thread, I'm not sure it really answers my questions to the fullest, although it helped a little.   EDIT** I just found the advice for beginners thread...sorry for starting a new.   Hello Head-fi! This is my first post here. I've come here...

Is the Grado L Cush worth it. Thinking about getting it for my SR 60s. I would be interested in opinions on both sound and comfort. Thanks...

Sooooo heres the deal. Im an audio video professional, have been for the last 12 years. I have an overly critical ear in my opinion, but as titled, I have weird needs. Im going to tell what information I think you may need to help me, if you have questions to further clarify, feel free to ask...

My budget for headphones is $350 and those two options looked like my best bet. If anyone has some suggestions I am of course open to them. I have listed some songs that represent my musical taste on a normal day, and just from reflecting I suppose I am looking for a setup that is neutralish if...

Seriously, I really like this headphones, but my ears hurt after a while (physical comfort-wise. Sonically, I'm satisfied)...

I'm looking for headphones that have the best audio reproduction quality to price under 100 bucks. I mostly listen to movie soundtracks, j-pop and various metal. I currently own the sennheiser 238 and portapros. the sennheisers's vocals sound really soft compared to most headphones and the...

I was using an AKG headphone 172HD..   and I got Grado SR 80..   and..wow i love the sound alot...   sound is so tasty...i love it....   i really... like it..   so i ordered sr 60 for the portable usage..   and im about to buy sr 225...   wow..   GRADO headphone...

Hello all :)   Firstly, this is a wonderful website and has helped me a lot in the past, though only as a "lurker" as I don't know enough to offer advice etc  The only proper headphone i have is the Grado SR60, which i actually love but find to be fatiguing and a little "cold" sometimes...

I'm looking for something Grado SR60-sized (and priced) but with a mid-centric sound signature...   What are my options?   Thanks in advance.
