Hi guys, as the title says, i'm looking for a good quality headphones at a reasonable price. My price range is at 70€. I'm going to use them to listen to bands like: Trivium, Metallica, Lamb of God,etc. Between these kinds of bands. Now I wouldn't call myself a bass head, but i do love...

Recently I considered getting a good pair of in-ears for portable use. I don't have easy access to in-person auditions, but I was able to listen to a pair of Grado GR10s.   I thought they were so bad I couldn't understand why anyone would ever listen to them. I thought I must be doing...

Very nice.  little dark sounding but I suppose they will open up after a few days of play! Coming from HD497s which I thought were very good, these are way better. :)

My Husband plays guitar in a metal band and has never owned anything but cheap earbuds.  He has often mentioned buying a good pair of headphones but always ends up spending the money on some other equipment.  So his birthday is coming up and I thought I'd pick him up a pair....   ...I had no...

Hello i was wondering if anybody ever tried to make a grado closed? If so how does it sound?

The background behind this is that my girlfriend and I both have Grado SR80i's that ended up with damaged wires that would intermittently short out.   I decided to buy 3.5mm stereo jacks from Digikey and make the cable on the headphones detachable so that this problem wouldn't arise in the...

V-MODA Crossfade LP Metal Headphone Sennheiser HD 439 Headphones   Grado Prestige Series SR80i Stereo Headphone   These three are the ones Ive been looking at, any other suggestions?  I listen to soft rock to metal and everything in between, and I am a bit of a gamer.   Thanks

This is my first post here.  I own a pair of Bose OE and have been fairly pleased with them.  I'm am considering buying a used pair of Grado SR-80i for $65.  The owner has done some modifications, though.  He has replaced the black screen with a silver one.  He put dampening felt on the inside...

Hi there,   So I've been using these three headphone sets plugged into my Creative X-Fi Go! external soundcard/DAC. Thus far I have been fairly impressed with the results; there is no shortage of volume. What I have been wondering about is how a headphone amp might improve other audio...

Hey there head-fiers.  I know this question has been asked to death as I've spent the past week just looking at many many comparisons between the two set of cans but I have some questions that I feel can be answered best by those who own the headphones already since I don't really have the means...

I've never owned an expensive pair of headphones. All of the ones I have heard have cost about 30 bucks. I have also never heard a high end headphone so I dont know what to expect. The headphones I have heard have been quite poor compared with the high end speakers I have heard. Not surprising...

Hi everyone, I am looking to upgrade from my Grado Sr80i to either an Sr325is, RS2i, or if it's really worth saving another $100 for, a PS500. I obviously love the "Grado sound", but what are the major differences. Any info helps.:)

I've read so much positive reviews about this headphone getting editors choice awards among many regarded hi-fi magazine sites on the net. My question is if these would be a "significant" downgrade comparing to Shure SRH-940 which are my current headphones. My setup consists of ARCAM-rPAC...

My Audio-Technica ATH-7 Headphones have been sitting idle for years because the "pleather" earpads rotted out and disappeared a long time ago. They take 3-inch round earpads, but I cannot find replacement earpads listed by size anywhere. They only seem to list them as replacements for...

Hi Guys,    I am just wondering if anybody has any good portable tube amp to recommend? Hopefully, it will come with a DAC for a iPhone5. I am hoping to use it for travelling to the office and in the office.    I have being using a Sony PHA-1, I kind of like it, but the problem is with the...

I have combed through the past 5+years of Head-fi posts and have found some great suggestions, of course that leads to more questions. I went to the closest Guitar Center to try out a few phones and wanted to elicit opinions and what might be the best option for me since some of the headphones...

Hello. I am currently in the process of recabling a Grado SR80i and transplanting the drivers into a beautiful set of mahogany cups. However, I have had a sudden doubt... is it worth transplanting a set of SR80i drivers into mahogany cups? Would it be worth my while to find a set of a SR225 or...

Hey guys! I know that this is an old question but I would want to know which cans is better. I'm new to this kind of stuff, and because of my past experiences in buying hardware I should research about it before blindingly buying xD... And by that, I found that the SR80i has good...

Hey guys, at the moment I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones, and I was looking at getting a pair of Grados, either the SR80i, or the SR60i. Is there a large difference in the sound quality between the two? I've read that the 60's are easier to drive, while the 80's sound much better...

My question is, would tracks such as the one I'm linking to sound amazing on the SR80i's (colorful,punchy,bassy as the track's impression was intended) ?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDD3b2Cbaw0   Listen in 720p = )   If you're lazy :p, I just want to know how good it represents...

What is your favorite headphone? I sadly dont own a pair of headphones . I own the UE TF10's though. and I love them 

Grado SR80i for Audio Technica M50.   i have the SR80i's am i getting the better end of the deal? or would he?   personally i just want to sell them as i listen to more dubstep than rock. and i need something w/ more bass.

I own a pair of DT880, but I use them rarely, because I don't like their sound signature. They're too bright for me due their excessive highs. I mostly listen to Rock and Metal but I don't despise Jazz or Acoustic music. I don't like much bass, espacially if it's bad qualaity bass. DT880's...

Is JVC HA S500 the best headphone under $100?? I am gonna get it for $51 and is it really worth for $51? or are there any other good quality headphones that are available at this price?   Device : Laptop Genre : Soft,Rock Requirement : Volume n Quality..
