I listen mostly to instrumental and vocal jazz. I used to own a RS1i that I liked alot for jazz. But I would like to know if the other 2 headphones are better for jazz. Which of these 3 headphones would you choose and why?   Thanks in advance.

So I'm a big fan of the Grado sound and I think it is that time of the year to upgrade! I currently own a vintage pair of original grado 325's driven by a RSA mustang amp and I love their detailed sound, and even though many people find them too "bright" I think it adds that extra crispness to...

As the title says the Grado's are better.. I have had both now for a few weeks and listened to them on a few different amps and source material.. I thought the Beyer's were going to e it for me but the Grado's are just more full, have a bigger sound and just hit hard in the bass. Guitars of...

Hi everyone, I am looking to upgrade from my Grado Sr80i to either an Sr325is, RS2i, or if it's really worth saving another $100 for, a PS500. I obviously love the "Grado sound", but what are the major differences. Any info helps.:)

Hey Just wanted to show off my PS500 with the replacement headband.  The headband went on without modification just removed the marshall earcups and cut the wire running under the headband from one cup to the other poped off the grado band and this one went right on.       turned...

So i've been reading up and searching the web for a few days now and I must admit, things do look kinda confusing. I'd really appreciate it if you would share your thoughts/opinions/suggestions.   I'm looking at DACs below 1000, and have narrowed them down to these:     Audio GD's...

Does anyone have them what are they like,also i am in the search for the best music producer headphones that is also great as a headphone for listening any help.  

Just a silly question I was wondering if IEM are any better than open air headphones. What do you think?

Wondering how the PS500s stack up against other, more popular buys in the $500-700 region, HE-500s, Beyer T90, Sennheiser HD650/HD700, Denon D5000. And to some extent slightly higher priced headphones like the T1 and HD800 (T1 you can get for almost $700 used).   Just curious as I'm thinking...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking around for quite a while, and reading the threads prompted me to pick up my first decent pair of headphones; my MS2's. So far I have zero complaints, but I also realize that there is room for improvement. The next piece of gear that I plan on buying will be the...

I'm very new to Grado but very much enjoying the sound, especially those mids! I'm looking for an amplifier to pair with the Grado PS500s, at the minute I only have a FiiO E10. My priorities are seperation, soundstage (to some extent) and vocals/mids, my price range is variable, but I want to...

I've had the Grado PS500's for about three weeks now and I'm very happy with the SQ they produce driven by my Pico Slim, I'll be using that amp until I receive the Headamp GS-X I've placed an order for. However, while the PS500's sound great, their ear pads start to feel uncomfortable after so...

Hello,   I need some help here making a decision. I accidentally destroyed my SRH440 and have to send back my SRH940 due to a growing hairline crack. Here's my current setup:     Ebtech Hum Exterminators -> Monster Power Station Pro 1000-> 2010 27 Apple iMac -> Audioquest Carbon...

Hello, As a newbie, I am just seeing if anyone can see a glaring problem with my proposal. I would appreciate any thoughts as I have also considered the Sen.650, and the Grado RS1i. Thank you! Greg

Hi Guys,   I've been researching on Head-Fi for the past couple of weeks. I'm looking to invest in a $500ish portable amp/dac combo for my Grado PS500s.    Music I enjoy listening to: Jazz     I have my choices down to   1) Alo Pan Am (I heard the amp is amazing, but the DAC...

Hi - I currently have both the Grado PS-500 and Denon D7000 and, as you may have guessed, am a fan of the more 'fun' sounding headphones preferably with a fair amount of bass. To this end, I would very much like to buy a 2nd hand Audeze LCD2.2 but will have to sell 1 of the current sets to raise...

I need some help in choosing which Grado (or Alessandro) phones to buy.  I don't have unlimited budget and yet would like to go as high as I can in quality.  60i's would definitely get my foot into the door, but what about 80, 125, or 225 models?  What do they add as the price goes up?  Will be...

Test between Sony MDR-F1, Sony PFR-V1 and modified Grado PS500.   In this test, I have listened to a range of very good acoustic recordings (mostly classical music). I hope you find this test useful.   The winners   Comfort: Sony MDR-F1 Despite no clamping force and less weight than the...

Hi,   Which DAC would you recommend for connecting to little dot II >> Grado Magnum cans in the budget limit mentioned in the subject?   Thanks

     This idea came about from another thread (The PS500 thread), a few of us thought it would be the chance  to share some album suggestions from Grado owners who feel that their album of choice performs better  than most on a Grado.    Here's my suggestion, this album sounds...

I just purchased a new set of Grado 325is can's for my wife (I already have a set for myself) from Crutchfield. They have dumped the "new" silver chrome look and have gone to a powder coat type finish. I like the new finish much better than the pair I bought for myself last year that had the...
