Hey guys! I am a bit lost in the variations of the numerous setups so I'm asking for your help. I need a decent source to use for a pair of Grado GR10s, for mostly travelling. The options that have crystallized so far: - A high end smartphone with dedicated DAC i.e. Marshall London, HTC 10...

Well no one else was doing it so I started a new thread regarding Turbulent Labs' newest driver offering. Turbulent X Manufactured and tuned for Turbulent Labs by Symphones these drivers are tuned differently than the Magnum V7 or V8 and are an update to their last X driver (circa 2012) as per...

Could anyone recommend a portable digital media player with possibly large display screen for use with my chord hugo and grado sr325e headphones (other than a smartphone). I was looking for something with various digital audio outputs, usb, optical toslink or coaxial compatible for the hugo. And...

HI Like many I have been lurking around a lot and done some research but I need help with the last piece. I am looking for a pair of headphones to be used with my desktop computer, mainly listening to music and movies. The headphone should offer great soundstage and the feel as if I am in the...

Has anybody found an ideal travel case for Grado GS1000s?

However, I do not want to use an external big dac and amplifier. I can use a dragonfly black or red. Is that sufficient? I see that the OHM on Grado should be easy to run? I am considering RS2E. What do you think? I was first considering RS1E and GS1000, but I have read that they are a bit too...

Hi all! Recently I bought myself a Sony NW-A35 to play my lossless files on the go, and to replace my aging iPod Touch 4th gen which if I were to grade using Audiogon's scale, 4/10. The shop where I bought it from let me try out their headphones and hearing good things about Grado, I tried out...

Currently I have beats earphones, which I am literally tired of :triportsad: So I am interested in buying a new pair of earphones. Grado gr10e seemed to be really nice in every aspect, but when I saw their release date I started to think if there would be any more up to date earphones which have...

Hello, I am looking for a new IEM to replace my MH1C. I quite enjoy these, especially the treble, however the fit is not great and the bass is rather too much for me at times. I've looked into replacement tips and they don't seem to be compatible with many aftermarket. I am therefore looking...

Another driver maker has entered the marketplace. It's great to see more guys like this popping up. Modding Grados and building Grado-esque cans is a deeply satisfying sub-genre in the lunacy that is the headphone hobby. Here are some pictures of the prototypes in the cups I have been using them...

This thread collects comparisons of one model of Grado headphone to another, beginning with comparisons of my 26-Grado collection and inviting others to contribute their comparisons.  It differs from other Grado threads by comparing multiple Grado models to each other.   INTRODUCTION    ...

Hi All,   Thought I would start a new thread on this...a little while back, I am not sure how long ago, I came across a website for a company called Elleven Acoustica. It was stocked with several goodies for modding Grados (wooden cups, and some aluminium ones, as well as wooden sleeves). A...

Purpose: To discuss driver alternatives that are being used within the Grado headphone cups.  This would apply to both custom wooden cups, as well as the standard plastic Grado or Alessandro cups, as well as Mahogany cups made by Grado. Again, the emphisis is on non-Grado manufactured drivers...

In order not to infect and bring the SR60mod thread off-topic I thought it might be an idea to start a new thread for those of us Grado modders who want to share ideas/impressions/mods concerning their Symphones Magnums. Personally, I have been very impressed with the Magnum drivers and think...

(you can select more than one option) It seems that the initial, near-universal enthusiasm with the Headphile C-pads is toning down, with more people coming forward and discussing not just their greatness but also their shortcomings. (cough cough, SR-325i, SA-5000...) Feel free to add your...

I spent 3 hours in an audio store yesterday.  It was my first time really trying on a bunch of headphones and comparing them with one another.  I was able to develop my own opinions about the different headphones, but I couldn't always come up with a reason as to why I liked one pair more than...

I've read numerous reports of the 'grattle' (Grado rattle) that happens when Grado cans have one (or both) of the membranes of their drivers creased and wrinkled in places - causing rattling on low bass notes and channel imbalance. Does this creasing and wrinkling occur only when the cans are...

What is the best headphone Extension Cable ? I tryed looking for a monster one but could not find one

Well got my new Grado SR80i's in the mail, had em on for like 5 minutes before deciding to put them on my 19 month old.  Now he loves them and cries when i try to take them off haha.  I think I have a young audiophile in the making :)   Sorry for the awful quality of the photos they were...

Just wanted to have a general inquiry among Grado owners if this kind of alignment error is more widespread than I would have imagined.   The misalignment in question is on the right headphone.  

As if there werent enough Picture threads.   i have decided to open up a Grado Picture thread, of all things Grado related. sure take a picture of your Grado amp, or a picture of your Grado Headphones worn or not worn, sure post a picture of any Modded grado can, Alessandro's? why not they...

Hello.   How do the metal and mahogany chambers affect the sound of the headphones compared to the plastic Grado chambers?  Are the mahogany better for classical music?   Thank you. :)

Huge Grado fan here, but the Grado's are too flimsy for their owner (these are for a younger girl). Any recommendations before her non-head-fi dad buys her some Beats by Dre's lol. Best on-ear/over-ear headphones for $100-$150.
