Hi Guys,   I'm a newbie to the headphone scene. Been a musician for 20 odd years playing jazz & R&B, but listen mostly to classical / movie soundtracks at home on my Marantz/Dynaudio system.   Just about to start a new job working from home so was thinking os getting a good desktop system...

Just came to the conclusion i am in a desperate need to spend money :P   I have this Denon D2000 for as long as.... 4 years?? Don't remember already! It is quite used, with the headband and pads with no leader left whatsoever, this one must have thousands of hours in use...   I bought...

Hello all,    I currently have both Grado models - RS1i and GS1000i. My original plan is, ideally, to keep only one pair.    My source is an iMac with FLAC files and the DAC/Pre is the Meridian Explorer. It's a simple system, but seems to work well for the level of use I have.    My...

  (Just a quick note, high end audio is highly subjective, and this review goes over strictly my honest thoughts on the PS1000, can people may disagree about what they hear with their ears)   The Grado PS1000 is considered one of the best headphones available in the headphone world and has...

I know I just posted a thread, but I wanted to see if anyone has tried the Grado gs1000i.  They are the same price as the Audeze.  It's the weight of these Audeze.  They are just terrible.  Amazing sound, but I just can't get used to them.

Hi all,   I would like to find out for the Grado GS1000i is it common to have one side of the headphone sounding softer than the other. Could this be a driver issue? I have 2 other Grado headphones the 325is and the SR60 and both have no such issues.   The story is, I had a grado GS1000i...

Sameone compared the Grado GS1000 and GS1000i? Piero

Hi   I ordered a Burson Audio HA160D since I could have a demo model at a good price and it seemed like a very good choice.   I am looking for a great headphone (preferable not more than 1200 dollars) to pair with it (for now I use the BW P5 on Ipod but I want something better for my...

After a few months of changing out various Grado headphones in search of an upgrade from my SR225 (RS1 buttonless, HF1, RS2 vintage, RS1 vintage), I think I'm just gonna keep the SR225 (with TTVJ flats), sell the RS1 and call it a day. Does anybody else prefer the SR225 over the RS1?  

I am asking this because I am about to order ms1i but while browsing through tons of threads I have found that a bigger sound stage will be better for listening to pink floyd style stuff. I listen to mostly 70s and 80s music (no hip hop / rap etc) and I love Pink Floyd and Queen the most. 

Hi! I'm looking to purchase a pair of headphones as a gift to my sister! She listens to primarily korean pop (just basically pop music with some electronic I guess). It needs to have decent bass as well. I'm looking to spend 100. I'm thinking about the Sennheiser 448. I'm thinking of more of an...

what do you think of it?

Hey everyone, first-time poster, long-time lurker.  After much research and deliberation, this morning I ordered myself a WooAudio 6SE.  It's supposed to ship this week, and I'm pretty excited.  So now I need a good pair of cans to go with it.  I currently own a pair of Sennheiser 555s.  I've...

I did search for this info and either I'm not doing it right or it hasn't been discussed.  I have read many threads about what great synergy the ear+ HD has with Grados, particularly the RS1. I am wondering about the synergy with GS1000i since it doesn't really sound like other Grado models. My...

  Hello, I had the Jmoney V2 band on originally, which was fine but it always felt a little uncomfortable & loose so I ordered the new LCD-2 leather band with yokes and played around with it. I ended up leaving on the Grado rods & putting a little tape around them (to protect & widen them...

Hello.   I'm new to the forum. I've been using MS-1i, but I just got extra budget and wanted an upgrade. I mostly listen to hard rock/metal, but also listen to many other music like blues, k-pop, j-pop. I know that just a pair of headphones can't match all those genres, but considering...

Today, Uncle Erik wrote the following in a High-End Forum thread: “The GS-1000 was a big FOTM, then completely disappeared. I haven't seen a thread on it or a recommendation for a long time.” Erik’s remark reminded me of the fact that I once wrote a mini-review of the GS1000i but never posted...

Long time lurker first time poster!   My set up:   Foo bar 2000 (WASPI OUT) -->   -->USB 0404--->   --->Darkvoice 3322--->   --->Sennheiser HD800   I am a audiophile in search of better sound. What is my next upgrade?. I love the HD800 and I am looking for something to...

My system is a Gilmore Lite, Headroom Micro DAC. Headphones are Beyer 250 250 and Sennheiser HD 650. I use this setup from my computer using Apple Looseless. To me the Beyers are more musical than the HD 650's. The 650's seem to fall apart when I put the amp up past 11 oclock. They also sound...

Hihi   I´m new here and hope you can help me out here as my friends are of little help. They think I am nuts when I say I´m buying headphones over $300  :)   I have owned Grado SR80 for about 10 years now! They have proven just fantastic and durable, but now I´m looking for an upgrade. I...

Cord is shorting again so I want to get a new pair of headphones to replace these. I've had these for about 5 years. Before them I had the hd-580s which were nice.   I will mostly use them for PC gaming and listening to music via the PC. I have an XFI soundcard (might get a new, better...

Hi there, I'm about to have my first real high end headphone handmade. Its driver is a RS1 but i want it to look like a GS/PS1000i shape-wise but neither i or the guy who will make them knows the dimensions of their cups. Could anyone please try measure your PS/GS1000i and post the measurements...

Time for a new thread about this.;)   I am planning to upgrade my headphone setup and go for a solution based on Musical Fidelity M1HPA and M1DAC (or VDAC) together with a new pair of headphones. My original plan was to keep my RS-2s but when I made a long listening test (as a part of the...

Good day to you all   I am a new comer to the world of hi-fi although I enjoy music very.   I am thinking of spending my bonus on a good HI-FI listening setup. I already have some elements of it A pair of Grado GS1000i A Garrard SP 25 MK IV turn table An Akai AA-1025 Amplifier  ...

Last year, Ultrasone claimed that their Edition 10 LE has lower EMF radiation to protect user from dangers that may cause hearing loss or something even worse.  Although they did not state this in official web posting, they certainly repeat this message during road shows in numerous audio...
