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. :-)

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...

Well... back when I was in high school (over 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 back...

My Grado cable came apart at the Y splitter, so I tried to make one in 20 mins. After I soldered everything up and coated it in unmixed epoxy, I realized the left channel wires were connected to the right driver and vice versa. Im wondering if I can simply run the cups/drivers reversed, to save...

Preface: I was a bowl user, and I was just converted to flats by the following trick. You do that (with [red packaging] 3M Scotch or similar, but not [green packaging] 3M "write-on" Magic Tape nor electrical tape; I promise it won't leave behind any glue residue or take away foam if you...

I feel like everyone beats on Grado's looks. Anybody out there other than me think they're some of the coolest looking headphones ever?  *Image by Saron on Amazon.com 

That tinny, lean sound reminds me of something nostalgic but I just can't pin down exactly what it is.   An old 70's radio? A loudspeaker inside a hall? Free plastic speakers bundled with PCs?   Try it!

It's my understanding that Dr. Kevin Gilmore designed the Dynalo amp for Grado's specifically to match well with their low impendence. Considering that the gilmore lite is a dynalo, and able to drive the Grado's extremely well - is there any true sonic difference between upgrading to the Gs-x...

I'm looking at several aftermarket wood cups for my SR225i.   Could someone guide me on which are "best" with respect to fit, finish and sound quality?   I'm looking at: Martin Custom Audio, Cabillas and Turbulent Labs

Don't know if its the upcoming election and all the talk about the ailing US economy, but I am going to buy US product (as best as I can)...... SO...... any suggestion on top end MADE IN USA headphones/earbuds manufacturers that make the product here in the USA??   Any best kept secret...

I'v recently been looking around for some open-eared headphones and I've come across Grado. Where is a good place to start with Grado for under $200? If you could link reviews or give your own, it would be really appreciated. I don't exactly care so much if its on-eared or over-eared, as long as...

  Hello Head-fiers,   I don't think I'm breaking any rules here, hope not.   I stumbled across this item in eBay a few days ago. It is a snap-on headband cushion made, apparently, of black naugahyde. It is made for Grado Prestige series; SR 60i - 325i. It is 8 inches long and 3.5...
