Hi, I've been a fortunate owner of a pair of Grado SR80i's for about 4 month and now I want to mod them! I want to do a recable that can detach from th 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 for...

RATTLE: I bought a grado sr80i about 4 months ago.A week ago I was just listening to Braingate by BucketHead, all of a sudden there was light rattle in the left side of the can.I was using iphone 4s+fiio E11. On that day it got worse:mad: every bass note it hit was a massacre ! Lots of...

Hello, Previously I've owned a Klipsch S4, it was decent, but I found the bass too overwhelming and I had a hard time distinguishing between instruments.   Well I can miss about 100$.   I think it's good to know for you that I will be using them on my way to and from work, at work, and...

OK gang, I bought another pair of cans today. About a week ago I bout some Skullcandy Supreme Sound Aviators... I went back to the same store to audition some more headphones after doing some reading and learning about various different models. I actually went in to listen to/possibly buy...

So i just bought Grado SR80i's and i love them. The treble is slightly harsh but that's ok. I listen to hard rock/metal and love the sound. However i'm already looking to upgrade. For 100 bucks these sound great but i'm looking for a better headphone mostly for movies and the type of music i...

Hi, My Brother loves the sound of SR80 but it is too expensive(in Germany) and I want to ask u if HFI 580 sounds similar to SR80?   Maybe Worse or Better? Or any Suggestion   THank you.

I read tons of reviews and I decided, however I'm in Argentina and no one seems to ship them here. Is there any store that will send them?    

Hi all. I read many hundreds of Grado related posts when I was trying to decide between sr60i and sr80i. In he end I bought them both and sent the sr60i back and really for no particular reason, they both sounded great. I also have some bowl pads I'm using an iPhone 5, ipad 4 and Sansa clip. I...

recently picked some up and i need a pouch or case or something that can fit grados and i really dont want to break them. :)

Ive listened to the Ultrasone HFI-780, Sony MDR-V6 (MDR-7506), Grado SR80i, and the Sennheiser HD598. The HD598 wins. The Ultrasone HFI-780 has absolutely terrible sibilance/sibilant. This is a common complaint with these cans. The 780 has better bass than the HD598, but the sibilance ruins...

Hello New to the forum so point out any mistakes I'm doing! Im thinking about modding my grados like so: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/arspy87/sr125-modded.jpg First of all a few questions, how is the grill resealed in the cup? My phones are already open up to two pieces but can...

I'm looking at buying the new Schiit Magni and Modi headphone amp/DAC combo for $200. Before I do, I wanted to get input on what people thought of that rig, versus other things at or below that price, for pairing with the headphones I've currently got.   Headphones are Koss PortaPro and...

Hello,   I built a computer recently and installed a Xonar Essence STX. This computer was to be the center of my entertainment system – especially music.  I usually like warm, sweet sounding speakers, and am enjoying the sound card’s digital out, but figured I should take advantage of the...

Well, I finally saved up some money for a pair of SR80i's, which I ordered today, before I wasted my money on something else. Like paying to get them on my doorstep tomorrow. I've dug through much of what's available on Head-Fi, but really I've only just scratched through the crust, and...

First off, I mainly listen to electro (EDM, house, electro, etc), pop, rap, and r&b. Would (modded) Grados be able to fit that bill at all? I would consider myself a basshead. I do like booming bass, but I would rather have it crisp too -- which is what the 80i's apparently deliver.    ...

hi guys, I hope you are well :)   I tell them my problem, I have a gradosr80i a couple of months and suddenly stopped ringing left, opened the driver with heat gun but could not (I got scared) to solve the problem, I tell them that when "blow" driver from outside to inside or vice versa...

Both used on a good pre-amp, and lossless audio. How huge is the upgrade from these too? I'm not talking about the money, but the sound? good improvements or bad?  Is it worth the upgrade? Cos I can start using my SR80i outside my house once I get the RS1i. 

Hi there, I live in the UK and love my hifi (arcam cd72, a65+, Rotel rp1500 and castle severn 2 speakers). I listen to all sorts of stuff from Maiden and Metallica to Vanessa Mae. I recently treated myself to some Grado SR80i headphones and have modded them accordingly (thnx to this site!) they...

Chaps,   I'm using old Grado SR80 Headphones. Age, I'm guessing mines are 8-10 years old now. They still work good!   I use my Grado SR80s for when I'm using spotify and I plug them straight into my Laptop. I'm happy with the sound and I'm not ready to get a separate headphone amp yet...

Hello everyone!   I heard good stuff about Grados which is great for Rocks and I listen to those genres in the afternoon in my room. Feeling to give it a try but afraid it might be slightly too bright for my taste as I tried the Sennheiser IE800 and don't like it. So my main question is how...

  Packaging It's the happiest I've ever been to get a pizza box.   Audio Quality My only other pair of okay headphones being the Monoprice 8323, these headphones are just amazing. I'm a huge Led head, and every song just sounds so in my face on a whole new level. Each song is...

I need another amp to be use in a different room.  My source is a Blu ray player for movies and music (CDs) and will also connect a pc.  My music genre is Rock, Pop, Jazz and classical.  The current amp Im using right now is a Creek OBH 11.  It does the job well for me but If I was to get...

Hello Head-Fi,   First off, I am sorry this is not in the suggestion thread but I never see anything get answered from there.  Hopefully my question will be answered.  Thanks in advance.   Okay, I am thinking about purchasing a portable headphone that I can take on walks and listen to...

I'm new to the whole audiophile scene, but after buying my first set of "real" headphones I became enlightened. I finally figured out what I've been missing. Now I'm getting into modding, and want to tear apart my SR80i's. All I've really done so far is tear them down and punch out the holes in...
