I bought a my first good headphones (grado sr80i) about 6 months ago and I love them. But I need a noise isolating pair of headphones and i was wondering if the akg 550s will sound better than my current headphones. I will be driving them primarily off of my ipod touch. I listen to a little bit...

Hi, I'm new to the hi-fi audio scene and have recently bought an ASUS Xonar DX soundcard for my computer. I'm using Astro A30 headset I bought last year at the moment, when I had done little research into the product. Now I want the most out of my audiocard and wanted to buy a good pair of...

I just love my SR80i. I'm not an audiophile but I like my music to sound good. However, I really can't take these on the subway to college for obvious reasons, so I use the in-ear Sennheiser CX 280 which I don't really like, they are not as clear and natural sounding like the Grados. Poor...

I want to find a good entry level headphone. Which one of them is better?, And I listen to Rock, some techno and soft rock

Hello,   I have an Essence STX which has output impedance of ~10 ohms, I'm thinking about buying a pair of Grado SR80is, which are 32-ohm. Will they perform well or should I also buy a low impedance amp?   I've been thinking about FiiO E5. If I buy it, can I just plug it in the STX's...

I have access to a CNC machine and would love to make some wooden ear cups for my Grado sr80is im wondering if anyone here has a CNC program so i can make these wood cups, it would greatly be appreciated.

I got a Grado Sr80i Headphone past month. So, my main audio source is a Late 2007 macbook (yes, a pretty old mb... I plan to buy a macbook pro). I can't found anywhere a good info about the output sound quality, but I think and hear thats not really good. The question: Do I need a Fiio E7 DAC...

Hi,   Just bought a pair of Grado SR80i's and have paired them with the Fiio E7.  I mainly listen to rock and sometimes acoustic.  I have to admit the sound is perfect and for my budget I recommend this set up to anyone with similar resources.   Check it out:  

how do the superlux compare to the grados? in terms of bass, mids, highs, soundstage...

I have a Fiio combo E07K/E09K and I'm looking to upgrade from my Gradio sr80I with a $300 budget. I was checking out the ATH M50 but I also like the Mad dog. Questions about the Planar Magnetic, is there really a big difference in sound and are they easy to drive? I play a lot of R&B, Jazz and...

I recently purchased 3 different sets of headphones from eBay - some Grados 60's, 80's, and 80i's.   I have been the proud owner of SR325is for a year now, and love them very much.   My question is this:   I completely dismantled the 80i's with the intention of hand making wood cans...

Basically I am getting my brother a pair of decent headphones for his 20th birthday. He listens to exclusively rock/punk. Max budget is 150 dollars. What it is looking like is Audio-Technica ATH-M50m, or Grado SR80i. I was wondering if there were any other suggestions. He won't be using these...

I have about 100 pounds. But i can get 150 if necessary. I will mainly be listening to my computer (dell inspiron 15r, if it helps) , or my iPod. I Mainly like Rock and indie stuff. some electonica. What should I buy?

Right, so I'll make this as clear and concise as possible. I need to figure out what headphone amp/DAC I need for my setup. My budget for both the headphones and amp/DAC is about $250-300. I need my DAC/amp to be portable and preferably iPod line out compatible. I would like it to be battery...

I just recently (this week) purchased my first pair of Grado headphones (SR-80i) and I love them however, I noticed after a couple days that the wire going into the right earpiece is kinda loose and I can push it up into the casing.  The left earpiece wire is tight and cannot be pushed up into...

Hi!   At the moment, i'm considering to buy one of these headphones, so to put the story short, which ones are better, the Grados or Audio-Technica? If you guys have a suggestion to something even better than these, i'd love to hear it! My budget is at 150 euros. Both of these cost 150 euros...

Hello guys! I hope you can help me in a little dilema.   I plan on purchasing a pair or grado headphones to see what the fuss is about. I would normally go for the sr80i but i've been reading that they are brighter than the sr60i, which for me is a bit of a problem, since i've returned alot...

I have been looking for a new set of headphones for about a week now having just sold my Shure SE315's. I had the earbuds for portability but found I never listened to them on the go anyway so I am looking for something more substantial. I am between these two headphones and am not concerned...

Well I have a pair of grados and I have until Sunday to return them at my local store. They just dont satisfy my needs I guess you could say I pulled the trigger mainly because they were the only good headphones in my town. I want something over ear and not on ear ive had them for a week and had...

Hey, my eyes currently on the sr80i as I find the sound and price attractive. But one thing which puts me off is the build quality. Does anyone know of a similarly priced headphone with as good sound quality as the sr80i, but with better build quality? Thanks

Tittle say it all , i currently have some SRH440 For outside but i want some SR-80i for inside , I ordered some from http://www.ttvjaudio.com but it seems they can't ship them outside US (Pretty sad since i could have em for 100$+20$ Shipping ) I know theres 1-2 threads about them but they...
