Hello head-fi friends and mainly Grado fans,    I have sold my Alessandro MS Pro two years ago. Honestly I regret it, I miss that sound ooh a lot. Grado have so charm sound (at least to me) it grow in your heart, quitars, emotion, airy, crisp, quick, sound like wind. I can only wish that...

Guys, since I'm getting a brand spanking new pair of Grados, I decided to protect my 99 dollar (not much, I know) investment by building a box for it. So. Here's the problem. I've read about foam and how over time it starts to flake. Are there any alternatives that can work as well as foam to...

Hey their folks, I've been searching hard and trying to find the answer. But after several days in the bowls of Head-fi and Head-room I figured I might as well ask. I'm looking for a portable amp (travel friendly might be the better word here) that will suit my low impedance cans. I have a...

Just wondering how many people use their Custom IEM's for everyday listening? Whether it be on the bus, subway, walking or biking... I want to know! Is it comfortable? Do people look at you funny? Any tips/experiences that you want to share?

outta curiosity, which are the current production brands that are not made in China? or do certain brands make their cheaper models in China and the highend models in country of origin?

    Hi all,   I have been doing a fair bit of research lately into buying a new set to replace my Alessandro MS1’s that I’ve had for few years now. They have served me fantastically but I’m now travelling via train to work and being open ended, it just doesn’t work. I also listen...

Time for an upgrade. The following are my requirements. I'm curious what you guys think.   Budget - < $450 Source - Fiio E18 now (plus ODAC+O2 or Schiit stack in a few months). Requirements for Isolation - Absolutely none. Preferred Type of Headphone - Open air. Preferred tonal...

I'm a noob so please be kind.  I've searched but with little luck for my question.   I like full size cans for comfort, but fear they need more then what my iPod Touch can send to a set.  I understand a headphone amp would help with that.  But to be honest, I would most often be too lazy to...

I came across these and I thought its interesting.      im pretty sure its drew by some audiophile lmao He takes obsession into action, and another level

Hi folks, I love my 12AU7 SSMH, as it performs quite well above its price bracket. However, one of my main gripes about it is that the gain is quite high; for low-impedance headphones (32ohm Grados, Audio-Technicas, most portable and DJ sets), there's a pretty audible hiss at normal listening...

Anyone have an opinion on this combo? About to pull the trigger on it on the recommendation of a friend that owns a hifi store in Seattle, he swears by the combo. Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

hello guys!   so, i need some advice on what sort of headphones to purchase. the most i would be willing to pay is around $130.   i want headphones that provide extremely high sound quality. i'm going to use these in my room, hooked up to either my iphone or laptop, for listening to my...

Hey HeadFi!     I need help in buying some AD700's, after browsing here everyday since I returned my Beats Studio's for xb500's ((thx rpgwizard lol) at least 2 months ago)I have figured out the ad700 is what I want for my next set of cans as I listen to alot of classical and orchestral...

Ok guys, so like many of u here, my thirst for sound quality was born reading through in-numberable posts on the forum.thus starting a journey to the place where i love the sound of my rig. Now, i started with Sennheiser HD212 Pros, then brought my Sansa Fuze V2.built a HeadBanger amp, then a...

There is 'the most beautiful headphones you know of' thread so I think it is only fair for there to be 'the ugliest headphones you have ever seen' thread.   To kick things off I'll give the three ugliest I have come across.  The all time classics of ugly headphones.   1.  Far and away...
