Today the left side of my SR60 became way 'weaker', lacking detail and volume in general, but specially on the lows. Any idea how this may have happened?   I've opened the can and the solder seems fine, I have also cleaned any hair out of the driver and have already tested the headphone on...

hey everyone,   so im looking to buy a new set of headphones and im pretty much set between these two models. spec wise they are quite similar (open design, on ear, same impedance). there are a few things that differ: the coupler on the Senn's is smaller and its sensitivity is higher than...

Hi, i want to buy some new  headphones for listening my ipod and do a bit of gaming. I want some good quality headphones but not too expensive. My budget is around 0-100$. I read a lot of reviews and the ones i've choose are : Sony MDR-500DJ AKG K430 Grado SR 60i What do you think of...

Greetings, everyone! I'm getting my first pair of audiophile headphones soon, and I'm willing to spend up to a bit over $200. I'm currently choosing between the Sennheiser HD 558 and a Grado SR series (60i or 80i). Based on what I've read/seen so far, the 558 has a better soundstage and...

  I have these equipment (and my ratings of how much i enjoy them):   Sony MDR-V6 - 8/10 Grado SR60 w/HD414 reverse quarter mod - 6.5/10 Koss KSC75 - 9/10 (obviously not as good as SR60, MDR-V6, but the value just amazes me) NuForce uDAC - i haven't A/B tested, but i honestly...

Hello fellow members of Head-fi.   This topic probably doesn't entirely belong in this sub-forum, but I found creating one topic asking everything more useful than spamming other sub-forums aswell.   So, first of all, let me tell you I'm a complete noob considering high-end audio. Until...

Hello all, this is my first post on head-fi.org so sorry if I lack of precision and sorry for my bad english (I'm an Italiano guy).   I'm going to have a total audio hardware upgrade and the first step to it is the choiche of the headphones. In these years i just owned a crappy pair of...

  Ok, so the cable on my SR-60's broke at the Y joint for the third time recently, and I decided that instead of sending them in, I'd try to recable them myself. I've read some of the guides here on the forum, and I think I should be ok. I have no experience with soldering, but Grados should...

Basically i just wanna know how much better the 225s are than the 60s compared to the price difference? Thanks guys!  

My SR-60s (purchased in 2009 and not the SR-60is) just returned in record time from servicing at Grado Labs. Fantastic. But they're not the same headphones I sent in.   Before sending in the original damaged pair, I scanned them to identify them as mine when they returned. The wear on the...

Hello, I recently got some etymonic mc5 headphones.  They seem very well built which is a huge plus but they sound a little flat, especially when compared to my grado sr60s with senn 414 pads.  I realize we are comparing apples and oranges to some extent, but am I just hearing (and enjoying)...

Hello Everyone!   I have no experience in audio gear of any kind whatsoever, but i have been doing alot of research lately and decided to buy some new equipment. I have still not decided whether to go for in-ear or open back or closed back but am hoping you guys can help me out.  ...

I already own the ath-m50s and triple 10s (love them both, and very happy with both), and I want to try out a pair of Grados mainly to see what the fuss is about...I'm a huge rock fan, and supposedly they are one of the best......Is there much noticeable difference between the 60s and...

I just started moding my sr60`s. I just got them yesterday and I couldnt not modify them. I wanted to change out the grills so I took them apart which was really easy but my grill was pretty much fused to the cup and although I am more than sure that I can still replace the grill with a metal...

When I was Modding them, I think I punctured the diaphragm. How can I get a good look at the driver and would a little bit of super glue fix it?

How underwhelming.   Now, I'm by no means an audiophile, and am actually just getting shipped my first decent pair of headphones (MDRV6s), but I went to my friends house today and found out he had SR60s (I had no idea he had them!!), and tried them. The headband was almost too small for my...

What do you guys think of those four headphones? In no way do i need to monitor or edit music, i just want a set that i will enjoy with music, games, and movies.  i listen to a wide range from bassy dub step to high classical music. i'd like to think im pretty neutral when it comes to prefering...

The search for the perfect Grado...   I've been toying with Grado headphones for quite some time now. Managed to get a pair of SR-60s and 80s (non-i) new shipped down here to New Zealand about 5 years ago and loved them, decided to keep the 60s.     TradeMe, our ebay equivalent then...

I did not like the Grado SR60 and Beyerdynamic DT235 because of their treble response. I found that to be too bright and harsh to my ears. However, I have always and still enjoy my KSC-75. Also liked my AKG K501. I am now considering the Koss DJ100 and its #1 on my list, but also wanted to...

Hi good people. I'm looking to buy another pair of headphones and my budget is £100 or less. Here's what I currently own and how I'd describe their sound - 1. Shure SRH-840 (full size closed-back cans which sound generally neutral to my ear). 2. Sennheiser PX100II (lightweight open-back cans...

After reading several threads, I'm still stuck deciding purchasing one out of the two models. There are tons of posts specific for the SR-60 mod thread, but no such thread for the SR-80 mods. Given that the two models were modded with the same after market parts would they sound identical?  ...

I will be getting $200 from relatives and I have decided to get the grado sr-80i. I will be getting a a second pair but I do not know which to choose, I dj and walk around public with my headphones so I do not care about wearing big headphones, its kinda in style now, but thanks not the case. My...

hi, im looking to upgrade from my grado sr60s. i listen to mostly rock but a little bit of rap and pop mixed in. my budget is around $150 but it can be expanded a little if a lower end amp is needed. they will be powered by my pc.

Hey everyone,   I have had this pair of Grado SR60s since 2005. They grew up with me in highschool and into college.   At some point, during one of my many cable fixes (of which there have been many), I poked a hole into the felt backing by mistake. I considered this to be a fatal error...

so.. my headphone jack for the sr60 is going berserk again.. I have to delicately twitch it to the right or left in order to get the same amount of volume on each ear... I was hoping to ask if I could solder it myself, the headphone jack... buy a new one... is it recommended that I do that...
