I am looking for a new pair of headphones, and they will to have very little sound leakage as they will be used at job and on the balcony where there is not appreciated that one makes a lot of noise during the night. I have been thinking about the AT-esw9 and Denon D2000, but I am unsure as to...

Heya,   So I picked up some 325 goldies. But I'm concerned about them. They terminate into a 3.5mm jack (which says Grado on the side of the plug). Has a gold 1/4th adapter. I thought they were supposed to terminate into 1/4"? Both the past 325 and new 325 terminuate to 1/4". The drivers...

Hi, I,m looking for a good set of headphones that have a good boost on the highs since I'm a treble head. I'm thinking of getting the grado 60s but not sure, any sugestions would help,    my price range is $0 - $100 the less the better, they MUST be portable, my senn 555s are amazing but not...

Helo everyone, I lurked the forum for a few months until now. I've had the grado sr80i for 7  months now and I noticed I hear a slight static noise wheneer I listen to music, watch video or talk to someone on skype only on my right ear. I dont hear the static when I dont play anything though. I...

New to the forums did not see an introductory thread and I have been looking around for a while and I see myself as a beginner audiophile. I have been enjoying my Koss Porta Pros for about 8 months now and I recently purchased the grado sr80i today. I was wondering if anyone had any listening...

Im in the process of purchasing new headphones and I was wondering which setup you would suggest for listening for ROCK music. Heres what I was thinking: 1. Sennheiser HD555 + Onboard Sound 2. Sennheiser HD280 Pro + Audigy 2 (Possibly ZS, but would that make a difference) 3. AKG K 81 DJ +...

Having in the last 3 months bought a new pair of behind-the-neck on-ear headphones (ok-ish, poorly built but decent sounding Sennheisers. A part of the band actually split, though the sound wasn't affected and the issue is remedied with a combo of superglue to prevent further breakage and black...

Also, try to be realistic in pricing, don't choose only the extremely expensive ones. In no particular order:   Sennheiser HD 598 - Great for just about anything Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii - Portable, beautiful, sounds excellent Ultrasone Pro 2900 or HFI 580 - I <3 bass Grado RS1i -...

Hi there, I want to buy a good pair of full-sized headphones and I saw those two are in the same price range. Which one is better? My priority is comfort. My ears are quite large and prominent, so they tend to be sore after being pressed by a tight headphone for a few minutes.   Moreover...

OK, I think you guys will be proud of me. I've finally come to a choice between these two phones, and none other than these two. OK, as you all know I listen to Metal, Screamo, Indie/Rock, and Acoustic, with a tad bit of Rap. I need to know which Grado can is better, would it be the SR60's or...

Let me start off with an introduction, I'm 15, live in Australia and I currently listen to my music with a pair of SR60s and a pair of HD 202s.  I've been into good sound quality for about 6 monthsa now so I'm a complete novice.  A welcome would be much appreciated.  I look forward to being a...

Hey folks! This is nuts. I just reacquired the Grado 225. For the 4th time!! Out of the 9 Grados I've owned. Why? I have no idea. Every time I think I'm out, Grado just sucks me right back. Lmao I know repurchasing a headphone one might of regretted selling makes some sort of sense. What I...

What *exactly* does impedance mean? I did several searches on it and did not find a straightforward, plain-English answer. I originally thought it was related to the ease of driving - i.e. if the headphones have lower impedance they're easier to drive. But i've been looking at the SR60 (called...

What would be the best way to clean the SR60i pads? It's the stock 'comfies'. Would the good old soap and water be fine, or do I need to do anything else?   Also, slightly off topic, but I didn't want to start a new topic on it, how comfortable are the L-Pads compared to the stock ones?

Hi, Just want to get some advice from HP-1000 owners: I have a pair of Grado HP-1 without the original box. Any suggestions about storage or carrying cases? I had some good advice from Wilson who sold me the phones. Any more ideas will be appreciated. Thanks! Paul

Hello everyone, I'm new here and am a total newbie at headphones. I'm looking to pick up my first set of headphones and have actually looked around.    For now, I prefer the headphones to be able to play well without amps. I like more of pop rock music, however, don't really know how to...

Does anybody had tried the Edcor 2020 headphone amplifier, I have the chance of have one in the past and the sound was not bad at all, of course I had no chance to A/B it at that time or now, against any other, and I would like to know other opinions about it, one thing is sure, is an...

I've been searching for integrated speaker amplifiers/integrated amps that doubles as a great headphone amp, and now I am the proud owner of two such pieces. There are other threads that have tried the same thing, but not all threads are easily found on this site - and I've tried to formulate...

I sent this as a PM to Billavideo, however he doesn't seem very active as of lately so I was hoping for some outside help =)   I was reading a thread about making the SR325is sound better and I came across this post.   Quote:     Naturally I don't value sleep so this sound very...

I have recently been looking for a good pair of headphones for around $60 or less. Any suggestions?

        Okay - like many others, I finally decided to dip my toe in the proverbial sea of audiophilia. What I found was a hodge-podge of differing opinions and ideas. So anyway, I had decided that I was going to pan it down to a few ideas and find a place to try them out, right? Wrong.    ...

Firstly, I just want to let you guys know that I'm not one of those guys who just jumps in expecting everybody to do the leg work for me on this. I've been reading up on a few sets for the last few days and as I'm sure most of you know or have experienced, that has only made things worse.   ...

Been using Sennheiser MX500 buds for years, now have a cheap Android phone and the volume is capped - I can barely hear music over traffic noise.   I've decided to invest in my first pair of IEMs. Top priority is noise isolation and I read Shures are great for this with their foam buds. I've...

Anybody have problems wearing cans with piercings? I have my lobes stretched to 1/2", and find it hard to fit my ears into the cups of my beyers. And sometimes my tunnels get pushed into my neck with my Grado's. I'm sure other must have some ear piercings and headphone experience.

Quick Rant Start: I can recall only two headphones ever going out and they're both from Grado. I'm sure I've had others that failed me, but were more likely than not the cheapos that came with portable cassette, then disc players (so the almost disposable ones). I had the SR 60's for...
