Every review I read says the SR-80 has more bass than the SR-60. According to Headroom's graphs, the SR-60 should have louder bass and more extension. Why is that? http://graphs.headphone.com/graphCompare.php?graphType=0&graphID[]=393&graphID[]=353

Yes, I know Bose equipment is overpriced for what it does but how is the Bose Triport OE version for $60?

I just bought a pair of SR-60's for recabling in the silver I use for my UE cables... and before I even gut these, I'm listening to "Human After All" by Daft Punk from my modded X-fi [Op-amps and black gate cap] and jesus, these things have great bass impact!   This is before I even so much...

Hi there, well I'm done lurking and I'm signing up.  I'm sure you guys have seen this thread a million times over but I need a little help.  Seems as though most headphones in the sub-$100 range emphasize the low end, and that's something I'm trying to avoid as I plan on mixing music with these...

I am an aspiring audiophile and in the last year I've ditched my low grade mp3's for lossless files and gone from Bose Triports to some Grado 60's for home and ATH-M50's for work (like that they are closed, but I much prefer the grados).  I've never enjoyed listening to music so much in my life...

Since there's a seller's remorse thread, why not a buyer's remorse thread? So what's the worst set of cans you bought one impulse? Price or sound, doesn't matter. I have to say mine are the HP460's cause of their price. Not to mention something I just bought off eBay. Link...

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...

Im thinking of getting a pair of Grado's, and i had a fellow Head-Fier tell me that all the Grado's have similar sound and that the cables were the only real difference. Im looking for a pair of Grado's to mod, and so i looked at their website and all the entry level Grado's are the same! The...

I've had my Grado SR60s for about eight months and they've been serving me pretty well. The problem now though is that the right wire has started to twist off and even twisting the right cup to straighten the wire every time I use the headphones (a lot) doesn't really help. I wrapped the ripping...

Let's be truthful - a lot of head-fiers just don't have the money to buy new equipment from time to time(I for one). So...what do you guys think are really great bang-for-the-buck deals right now? Some things that might come into mind: Koss KSC-35/75, Sennheiser HD201, Ety ER6i (buy.com...

I was just reading a post on hometheaterreview.com on "Saving Audiophila: How To Get a Young, New Generation of Audio Enthusiasts Hooked," (http://hometheaterreview.com/saving-audiophila-how-to-get-a-young-new-generation-of-audio-enthusiasts-hooked/) and i was reading the post and than the...

Hello all, I was wondering how long it takes Grado Labs to repair a pair of headphones? I sent in my Grado RS-1 two weeks ago and I still haven't gotten them back so I'm getting kind of worried.

I'm not gonna explain all the details, but basically, I'm a budding Audiophile looking for my first "big" headphone purchase. I have a pair of XB500's, but after the break-in period, they just got WORSE! The bass cracks at about 50% volume and on top of that, the mids got worse. My warranty is...

Hi, I normally wear IEM (Ultimate Ears) when I am listening to music, whether it's on a plane or at the gym. However, in some situations, I really don't want or need that much sound isolation. For example, if I am sitting on a plane or a bus or even a coffee shop, I really don't want something...

Ok so first off I have had the Shure 750djs for around a month and a half now, which is funny because I feel like I've had them forever. While at this moment I'm not exactly able to go out and spend any amount of money on another pair of headphones, I would like to ask about the Grado Prestige...

This is my first post, and first of all, I have to say what a great forum you guys (and gals!) have going here.  I've been stressing like a maniac for a week trying to find replacements for my Sennheiser HD202s (my first "real" pair of headphones).  I've read through so many different forum...

I just received shipment of my new headphones today. Props to Todd for the quick shipment and great price. In any case, I like what I hear so far. The sound somewhat reminds me of my old SR60's albeit they've been gone for a year. A little on the bright side, harsher than both the SR60 and...

Hi All,   I was wondering what would the needed materials be, for making headphones from scratch?

I got them from Amazon. They shoud arrive tomorrow. I read a LOT of posts both old and new here. Ultimately, I have to make up my own mind, but this desciption (see below) by Traddad in a post from 3 years ago really sealed it for me. Worst case, I return them to Amazon, like I did with the D2+...

The wiring in the plug stem of my Sennheiser PX100 'phones finally broke, so now I need a replacement set for working out. I'm not averse to buying another pair of PX 100s, but first I wanted to look around to see if there are any other contenders.    The main criteria for these headphones...

Hi.   I have been looking around the net for some new headphones. But the tests that i could find did not specify what kind of music the phones worked best with. I listen to music like Mew, Deftones, Lamb of god, isis, jamiroquai, tool, thrice, the fall of troy, mars volta,steely dan, john...

For the love of GOD, my MS-1 is here!!!! the pain and the frustation of waiting is over! I received her, already broken in for over 600hours from her previous Head-Fier owner (Young&Wild) when he decided to move on to MS-2i. I just could not contain the fact how lucky I am to receive a used...

Hi everybody I'd like to listen music on my laptop while I'm using it, but I really can't decide with all of these good headphones available   Here are the criteria: 1: over the ear 2: open or closed? I don't know the difference. But I don't care about sound leakage. so you teach me =)...

I'm curious to see which companies are known for their excellent customer service and which ones you should stay away from. What better place to ask than head-fi?   Personal stories are a plus!

I recently bought a pair of Grado SR-60's but was not satisfied with them. They sounded great, but they don't cancel outside noise very well, which is the main reason I returned them. Now I'm looking for headphones that fit the characteristics that are in the title. Any suggestions? Thanks!
