    High end Grado choices

    Hey HeadFi — I’m trying to decide between the GS3000x, GS1000x and the new HP100SE. Listening is almost exclusively classical, and I’ve had the 325es for about ten years and want to upgrade. I’ve seen glowing reviews of the new HP100SE but honestly very little information on the two GS options...

    Looking for cleaning suggestions for Grado RS-1 with stuck-on foam earpads

    Hi everyone. I've taken my Grado RS-1 headphones out of storage to find the foam earpads have disintegrated and stuck to the earcups :frowning2: I've gently removed what I could using a plastic implement, but it requires more effort to remove the foam. I was wondering if anyone has cleaning...

    What are the most laid back, relaxed sounding Grado headphones from your experience?

    I have always been interested in Grado headphones and know they have a reputation for sounding forward. A forward sound signature is usually not my thing, but people swear by them because they have an immediacy that a lot of other headphones lack. Headphones with elevated upper midrange and...

    Is it worth the $ . . .

    Thinking about a set of Grado SR125x. From what I've heard about them, I think I'd really like the sound signature. However, I noticed Grados don't have removable cables. I'm pretty darn rough on cables. Just how fragile are connectors? Is the fragility of cables and connectors overexagerrated...

I own an Hifiman Arya V2 with a Litz balanced cable, a Grado RS2e, and the newly arrived Grado GS1000i which I've read wonders about. The GS1000i is indeed a great headphone, but A/B testing it...

    Grado gw100x noise bleed

    Hey so, I've narrowed down my search a bit but I was wondering if the Grado gw100x still have bad noise bleed like the gw100? It's okay if it has some noise bleed but I really was hoping to be able to use these headphones in an environment like a library. Any advice is appreciated!

    Closed over-ear headphones Ultrasone Edition 9, Signature Pro and Signature Master - the vintage experts

    It was in 2008 when, after the good test of the Ultrasone Edition 9 in Stereoplay, I received a pair from my trusted dealer together with the headphone amplifier C.E.C. HD53 to test at home. Although I already had a rather warm and sonorous playing CD player with the Trigon Recall I at that...

    RS2e Driver 'Quick Fix'?

    Hi, Head-Fi! First time poster, here. I recently picked up a pair of used RS2e's for a really good price, with the caveat that the left driver is a bit messed up. It really can only reproduce the very upper end of the mids and treble. The lower spectrum is completely absent. I've determined...
