grado

I'm on the market in search of a pair of good headphones. My price range would be around $150-$200. I like to listen to orchestral (soundtracks), rock, dance, kpop, trance, and some metal. My main thing would be soundtracks. I've been looking through some Sennheisers and Grados but I can't...

Once you go to their homepage, you have to click "Enter Site" twice before you actually get to the website. What's up with that?

Hey, Long time lurker, first time poster!  A topic that has been covered hundreds of time, but please bare with me!   I've decided that I want to take the plunge into mid/hifi headphone listening.  I currently own a pair of Sennheiser IE6 and Sennheiser HD202, but recently I've been listening...

I've never been a fan of Grado Labs headphones, or open-back headphones for that matter, but this new e-series has taken me by surprise, i must say; wow oh wow, the new e-series is quite something.   The spiel from Grados website...   . Every single component, surface, and material...

I wonder which headphones are best for low-level listening. I'm finding that with warmer headphones I listen at louder levels, which in the end make the warmer headphones more fatiguing than brighter headphones - although I would have expected the opposite.   Is a U-curve preferable on low...

I cant seem to find anyone who would rewire these cans.  The oem setup is horrible.  I found this person but no response to email.  Any ideas?   http://www.martincustomaudio.com/p/cables.html

First thing first, I love the Grado sound a lot for the music I listen to mostly (rock, classic rock, indie rock, soft rock). I also love large soundstage (AD700, K7xx) as well. While I do like my AKG K7xx for their wide soundstage, I am finding them boring and not engaging. The soundstage, to...

The latest thread on this topic was from 2006 so I figured it would be good to bring up this topic again. Like me, im sure many of you are concerned about your hearing. Without our ears we can not fully enjoy this hobby. As I get older I get more concerned and low level listening has become a...

I had an accident (I won't mention the details, but involved a pair of scissors) and one of my grado cables was cut. I fixed obviously but for some reason the broken side currently sound LOUDER than the untouched one. I'm kind of confused. Any experience with anything like this?

A fascinating look inside Grado's factory in Brooklyn. I especially love their entrance door...   http://www.cnet.com/news/a-visit-to-grados-brooklyn-headphone-factory/  

According to their research, the best three are Shure, Grado and Klipsch. The worst are Plantronics, Beats by Dre and Skullcandy.   More here: http://time.com/74886/best-headphones/

Hi, Just spotted this while browsing one of my fave tech websites: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/07/some-of-the-worlds-most-reknowned-headphones-built-in-a-brooklyn-townhouse/ Enjoy. :-)

Check this out!  I can't decide how I feel about this yet!   http://turntablelab.com/collections/daily-arrivals/products/grado-the-bushmills-x-grado-labs-headphone   Also, a video describing their creation (with Elijah Wood!):   http://youtu.be/jW66ldROOsg

Quick thread   Inspired by this comfort-mod for the L-cush "bowl" pads: http://www.head-fi.org/t/294623/grado-rs1-shack-hack-mod-56k-beware   Flat pads are my favorite pads for any Grados, and this even more so for the Joseph Grado upgraded ones, but anyway, their comfort is also the...

This just popped up on my Facebook feed... Lifehacker: Do I Really Need to “Break In” My Headphones for the Best Sound? Provided without comment. -G

I'm in no was affiliated with this website, but I found it thanks to another person on this forum last week. The etailer has a really good rating from my understanding. And they happen to carry Grados for amazingly low prices. Check it out... http://www.powermax.com/ Item # Description...

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...

From my meandering, I find that the Head-Fi favorites can be tricky to track down offline. I spent a chunk of time this morning in a very cool shop called dijitalfix at Valencia and 19th in San Francisco. They carry Grado, Audiotechnica, and plenty of other cool stuff that intersects art and...

I've been enjoying my Grado SR-125's driven by a Project Head Box II amp for about five years now.  A really nice musical combination for small ensemble acoustic jazz and blues.  I've been reading a lot of good things about the Schiit Vali, and how well it gets along with Grado headphones.  Any...

Hello everyone, I was trying to get one of these http://www.amazon.com/Grado-Mini-Adaptor-Cable-Inch/dp/B001DK1ZVO for my new Grado sr125i', but it won't allow shipping to canada. If anyone knows where I can get this adapter or another like it that won't degrade the sound quality, I'd greatly...

Most of the flagship phones that sound so nice have a Vulcan-mind-meld presentation where you are at one with the sound, a kind of super intimacy. This seems pretty standard, and is mesmerizing, but after a session with one of these, when I get tired of listening, somehow I find it very...

Well... back when I was in high school (pretty much ten years ago), I was sort of into headphones, and owned and selled quite a few. Sennheiser HD-580's, Sony MDR-CD3000's, Grado RS-1's, and I somehow was eventually able to get a hold of the Grado HP-1's. I'm guessing they were easier to get...
