Well, Hi Folks! This could be quite a long post, so please bare with me here. Anyways, back in 2010 when I was looking at something worthwhile to spend my tax return on I happened to stumble upon this site. I'm not really sure what made me want a pair of nice headphones, considering...

Thread Title says it all. I'm hoping to buy one for home use!    I use a Fiio E11 Amp and/or a iBasso D-Zero DAC+Amp with my PC, I also have an iTouch + L9 for portable use.   After almost 6 month buying and selling various IEM's, I am getting to know what I like and dislike. So I am...

First of all hi everybody, I'm glad to join the forum. I have never had any experience when it comes to headphones only ipod's ear-in and notebook's speakers.   My main goal is to listen music, I don't listen to nothing with much bass, generally John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Guns, Bon Jovi...

How are the Sennheiser HD 202? I am asking this because ive never had a pair of full size headphones, and I want something to get me started. I would like to know how these are compared to my Klipsch Image X10. I know they wont come very close to what the Klipsch Image can do, but can they at...

I've been tired of going through multiple ear buds. I've gone through Panasonic, Sony, and various other brands that I can't even begin to list. Simply put, it just feels soo useless to go through that many ear buds once more. I've started reading about a few days ago and came across this forum...

Hi all,   I would like to find out for the Grado GS1000i is it common to have one side of the headphone sounding softer than the other. Could this be a driver issue? I have 2 other Grado headphones the 325is and the SR60 and both have no such issues.   The story is, I had a grado GS1000i...

I have for a long time been using my Grado SR60s first model, not the i version for my iPOD, and my wonderful AKG K340s in my AMP, CD-Tuner setup. For fun I got out the stock Apple ear buds that came with my iPOD and gave them a try again with my iPOD.....WOW, they really suck now. A bit...

There "IS" in fact a break-in period for these headphones?   My experience:  disappointment out of the box, they seemed quite boomy AND veiled at the same time.  I let 'em burn overnight last night and could only listen to them for about 5 minutes before running out the door this...

Hey all,   I'm a noob to the headphone scene and a friend of mine told me to try out the Superlux HD681 as my first pair. So far they've seemed like a great pair of entry cans, but I'm finding that the ear cushions wear out really quick (I've had them for about 2 months and feel like I'll...

Relatively new here. I currently own a pair of Grado sr60's due to head-fi's recommendation a few years ago. Really great cans, and I love them for what I paid for, but their comfort and sound leakage are encouraging me to look into upgrading. From browsing the forums, the Aurvana Live! and...

  I am in the unfortunate position of having my hearing deteriorate to the point that I have trouble understanding dialogue while watching movies. I guess I was somewhat of an audiophile with a moderately high end system that I use for audio for dvds as well as for music. For my wife's sake...

I'm in the market for portable headphones under/around $100, now that it's getting chillier and I need something to cover my ears with.   I'm looking for good sound isolation (Grado SR60/80s are out of consideration for this reason) and warm/neutral sound. I listen to a lot of folk, downtempo...

In order not to infect and bring the SR60mod thread off-topic I thought it might be an idea to start a new thread for those of us Grado modders who want to share ideas/impressions/mods concerning their Symphones Magnums. Personally, I have been very impressed with the Magnum drivers and think...

Hi, I'm a long time lurker around here. Picked up a few pairs of earphones based on reviews and threads here that I'm really happy with, hoping that I can do the same with headphones now! I'm new to full sized headphones. Up until now I've been listening to music with IEMs. I do own a pair of...

I just purchased a dedicated amp for my 600's and they now seem to be quieter in one ear. I must've gotten used to it; I thought I heard something but couldn't bear the thought of having to spend more money, but my suspicions grew when I accidentally put them on backwards and heard the imbalance...

MEElectronics M9 – SL Review Solid budget choice, but out of this budget, you may want to head elsewhere. Intro: → Well if it's not obvious, I'm reviewing this little piece here. I purchased it after reading |joker|'s review on it, and realizing I needed an IEM for when I head to the PI in the...

Hi first post here. I couldn't find anything on Soundblaster x-fi mb combined with grado sr60i on the forums, so here I am.      I was just wondering if the Soundblaster x--fi card was good enough to power the grado sr60i headphones or if i would need to get an amp/dac combo (fiio e7/e9)  ...

Well, recently I've become quite interested in headphones, IEM's, and sound in general.  I'm the "sound guy" at my church and run the sound board during the services.    Anyway, I've always used the stock earbuds that come with my players and never really cared about sound quality as long as...

Do they sound more like a portapro or a sr-60? I hate the shrill, piercing highs of the sr-60, but the portapro has too much bass     Thanks    MacKat

Hello,  This is my first post and I know it has been probably answered in other threads but I was wondering about the portable use of Grado SR225i. I was looking into buying new headphones and since I listen to mostly hard rock and metal on my way to and from class I decided on these.  I...

lets say i can get a sr80i at 57usd is it worth it? anyone tried it with the cmoybb? all help is appreciated!

Which one is better for someone who listens to rock/metal (metallica, megadeth, etc.)? I want the best sound for around $100

Hello,   Just sharing my thoughts since I have started collecting headphones when I started visiting Head-fi.   The idea is to collect one headphone from each brand to show it to my future son/daughter that this were the headphones when I was your age.   I'll just start with budget...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes:   I have about $80 to get new headphones. Last time, I chose looks over quality and got a Skullcandy and was greatly disappointed with the sound quality and they recently broke, less than a year after I bought them. I've been searching...

I had to laugh…I looked up fetish in the dictionary and it’s defined as an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion. That probably more aptly describes my feelings toward my Grado’s; or just a headphone fetish in general. When I first stumbled across Head Fi though, I never imagined...
