Which Headphones are best suited for both rock and electronica. I listen to hard rock as well as death metal, grunge and alternative metal.. I also love electronica like house, electro, and trance

I might need some help ordering the right present for christmas.... for me.   Right now I own a TMA-1 but I am not really happy with it. From reading reviews, I guess I do not like the phones dark side. The bass can be punchy, but often I feel it was more present or more constant. For me...

Hi guys,   I currently have a pair of Grado SR80i headphones which I love......however find they can become a little fatiguing over longer listening sessions. To this end I have been looking into potential modifications, whilst I can find a lot of these, I seem to find little information...

Hi Guys,   Am I right in thinking that the Allessandro Music Series 1 headphones are based on the Grado SR80? If so can someone explain how they differ to the Grado's, is it the drivers that are modified or are there other things.   Would I hear a distinct difference between the...

First, I would like to apologize about my username. I made this account in high school, over four years ago.   Now on to the story. I apologize if this is primitive for most of you but I could use some of your advice. So I have had these Grado SR80s for over 4 years now and they've been...

Haven't seen the rule of asking advice.   So I asked here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/529144/buying-headphones-seeking-guidance-dont-start-a-new-thread-ask-for-advice-here/10995

    So, I'm looking to replace my Grado SR80i's (I'm selling them). I've had them for a year and I'm very pleased with them, although I'm now wanting something which has heavier/boomier/deeper bass and a better mid-range. I'm not that interested in highs, although I do want them kept at...

Hi Folks   First post and well, probably the first of many!    Bought my SR80i's just a week or so ago and to be honest initially I felt completely underwhelmed with the sound they offer. The comfies that they are shipped with move them so far away from your ear it's almost impossible...

I've been looking a while for some new headphones. I narrowed it down to these two. If anyone can suggest better, please by all means.   Budget: Preferable under $150 but am will to go no more than $200.   From what I gathered the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s are a versatile in terms of...

I have a pair of these on order, should be arriving tomorrow.  Both of my amps are balanced, so I'm obviously quite interested in balancing the 80's.  Just wondering if the stock cable has four conductors all the way through to the 1/4" plug, so I can just install an XLR on the end?  Or would it...

so im wondering what would be better to buy. i like them both and both would only be for home use. suggestions to help me pick? id type more but on my tablet..im also planning on using them with a portable amp at sometime

I don't give a damn about the design, looks or the portability. Don't give a damn about isolation or sound cancelation. I found this damaged brand new dre dre for pretty much the same price as sr80i, Drivers and electronics are perfectly fine, just the headband is damaged, which I can replace...

Hi Guys,   I have a question for you and hoping for some helpfull answers.   I have a pair of SR80i drivers (with membrane removed, holes punched in the rear and dynamat fitted to the back of the drivers), theser are fitted into a pair of Bocote Wooden cups at the moment using the stock...

Hey guys, i'm new to the forum and I need some help regarding a problem with my Grado sr80i's. I got them new just at Christmas of this year, but I cant quite put my finger on if the right channel is actually louder than the left, or if it is just the stereo separation in tracks that causes...

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?  ...

Hello to all of you good people!   I'm learning this days to produce electronic music. in my search for headphones that will sound good in electronic sounds and also in acoustic sounds, I narrowed the options to this two.   Shure SRH440...

I bought my V-Moda Crossfade LP's in November, and since then, my preference in genre of music has shifted from Hip-Hop to Alternative/Rock so I am wondering how much of a difference I would notice in Alternative/Rock I would notice if I got the Grado SR60i or SR80i's. Are there better choices...

Greetings, all,   This is my first thread so I thought I place one that I haven’t seen before. Might  as well start with a bang??   I am in a fortunate position to have six pairs of Grados in my office as listed in the title. The ‘ i ‘ versions were given to me by a new dealer to...

After doing a lot of reading on head-fi over the past year I realised that I had never actually had a go on any "Audiophile" type headphones but being on a budget I thought I would try something entry level before starting to splash some more sensible cash.   I treated my self to some grado...

I have AKG K450 headphones and AKG Q350 IEM's, and I wanted to buy new ones to get different sounds and know a little better. So I wanted to know, what is the difference between the Grado SR60i and the Grado SR80i? I heard they were really good open headphones, and I wanted to try these...

  Hello Everybody,   I'm considering on purchasing some Grados because all of the hype online. I've spent a few days researching many sites and I still keep finding mixed opinions. Does the Grado SR80i or SR225i have some noticeable bass response if powered to a headphone amp or are they...

Hi, I've been a fortunate owner of a pair of Grado SR80i's for about 4 months and now I want to mod them! I want to do a recable that can detach from the headphone. I've already quarter modded and removed the membrain in front of the driver as well as poke two holes in the back of the drivers...

I just bought the sr80 and i want to mod them like crazy. First i want to make a single detachable headphone wire.... i dont know whow to do it though any pictures or videos on steps of how to do this!? Im doing a wire grill i know how to do. Also what paint works best on the grados! Also i...

Howdy! I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice in sprucing up my Grado sr80i's. I have absolutely no experience with electronics whatsoever, and I've spent the last week researching what to do and working up the courage to tinker with them. I'm finally ready, and I'm confident enough...

This was completed over a period of about a week, off an on work. These are the first headphones I have really modified. I have done a detachable cable mod to my Sennheiser HD280 Pro, but nothing else. These were a fun project, and the end results were amazing. The sound stage is nicer, the...
