I purchased a pair of Audeze LCD2s last week and I am seriously considering returning them and eating the $150 restocking fee :-(  The LCD2's are paired with an O2 ODAC and the source is CDs and Spotify premium.  The LCD2s replaced the Grado SR-225is.   Compared to the Grado SR225is....the...

I had three Grados and I fell in love with all of them. After my first SR-60 I bought an SR-325i, and when the cable broke I went for a MS-1 (with bowls). Which also broke. In the cable. Like 10 minutes ago while rewatching Breaking Bad Season 5. I love the Grado sound, I love the fact it's...

I live in an area in NC where there are few retailers of audiophile headphones. I will be visiting San Francisco, CA and surrounding cities for the first few weeks of January. I am interested in visiting a headphone retailer in the area during the period. The criteria that the retailer...

So after a terrible accident, the left yoke (C-Bracket) on my vintage SR-60s finally broke (snapped in two).   I was wondering how I might be able to obtain a replacement yoke. I read on other threads that Grado sent replacement yokes for free.   Another question I had was how I would...

hi...i was recommended to this forum from another forums sayin you guys know you stuff ok, what i want to know, is what is a good pair of headphones less than 125 or so that will be used mainly for gaming on my pc. although i do listen to some mp3s and other audio, its mainly for games. i...

So I'm interested in hearing from other folks re) that set of headphones that occupies a special place in your equipment inventory. You know...the cans that you just can't bring yourself to sell (or for that matter pitch!!) because it would be like putting your dog to sleep. For me, it's the...

I picked up a Pro-ject Headbox II to use with my HD600's and SR60's. Can the sound really be this bad? The amp is so bright and colored. Is there an recommended breakin for this amp? I've been running the amp for a few days now and the sound of it has not changed?   I'm not trolling and I...

Not from a performance point of view, I mean from a purely "what-they-are-actually-worth" standpoint... Just seems that while most other brands get the usual 30%-50% markdown in the used or open-box market, Grado owners try and get top-dollar, often close to MSRP. My Craigslist has several ads...

What are some headphones you could wear in a social setting and still look fashionable? My nominee: the stunning Audio-Technica ATH-EW9 Any other suggestions? Do post pics if you can.

Hi everyone! I didn't see this kind of thread on the forum so I'm gonna post it here. I heard the Sennheiser HD head cushions are really comfortable and I've been having some comfort problems with my Grado SR-60s. The Beyer Headband is sadly not available here in Germany. So I thought... Is...

Folks,   First post, but I've been here many times.   I have two pair of SR60s.  I honestly don't remember how old they are.  I'm using one with my digital piano.  Not bad, but I thought I'd try my hand at modding the second pair, which has been languishing in storage hell for several...

Hi All,   My Grado SR-60s are wearing out and I'm currently on the lookout for set to replace them as my main cans. I've been reading across the forums a fair bit, so I kind of have an idea of what I want, but I'm still totally confused. My current headphones include the SR-60s as well as a...

I'm seriously thinking about the Grado RS-1 headphones. I recently purchased the SR60's. I just want to say this real quick... One thing I defintely noticed about the SR60's was the really poor quality plastic molding around everything from the cord to the actual driver housing. I hope...

I have about $300 put aside for some fun money, and wanted to ask for some opinions on what purchase would best upgrade my sound.   I currently have Grado SR-60's, and I usually listen from my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro.  To preface, I really love the "Grado sound".  I also have the iGi...

Hello Folks,    I love these headphones and I have owned them for close to four years now, but I cannot seem to wear them for extended periods of time. Are there any circumaural pads I can put on these headphones?    Z

I finally got my "listening station" setup, and wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of my various headphones.  I figured that since I went though all this, I would post my findings.      Me:  46 year old audiophile-wannabe.  Why post my age?  Because of the high-end falloff.  I did a...

Hello all! I am sixteen years old and would really like to get involved in better sound. I don't know much right now, but I do pride myself on being a musician and really enjoy listening to music. I think I'm ready to learn. I do, however, have a small problem: I am not yet employed. I did...

Hi all,   As a preface, I've owned TF10s, Grado sr60, Alessandro MS1, and currently use Monster MD Tributes.  I've received the 2013 matte black Beats as a birthday gift, and I've enjoyed them for what they are - stylish, good comfort and decent sounding with hip hop (albeit annoying ANC...

Hello Folks,    I am looking for cheap ($20-$30) and comfortable circumaural headphones. I am planning on using these headphones for watching TV and for sleeping, so I must be able to wear them for long periods of time. Due to the shape of my ears, on ear headphones (lke AKG K81DJ or Grado...

Interesting read. Very few of the highly regarded headphones survived this battle. http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/one-enthusiasts-take-top-line-headphones-state-flagships

is not including flat pads with every headphone.   I can't even imagine how much more they would sell, especially to the younger generation if they did this. Most people who own grados don't even bother to try out flats because they cost $35. Just a piece of foam but the switch to flats made...

Hello , I am writing you from Bulgaria,I am  interested in Grado Sr series. I haven't used them until now because they are not available in my country.I can't try them, but from reading the musical forums i agree they are really good.I want to order from amazon.com - model sr60 or 80. Also...

Hi, I haven't posted here in a long time, but I've been stricken with a case of upgradeitis, so I thought I'd ask for advice. I'm looking for a new pair of everyday headphones to use on the bus/subway. Here are a few details:     1. My current portable setup consists of the Koss KSC75 (which...

I'm coming straight off Grado sr60's and am looking to move to a more comfortable headphone for primarily gaming.   Right now I'm seeing a Sennheiser Amperior on newegg for $129 and was curious if that was a good enough deal to choose it over the MA900 at $200?   Of course if you have other...
