Say, if not everybody e-mails you by the deadline, will you reroll for new/more winners?

You're saying that reviews will receive bonus points after the first batch is read-over (i.e. no review has bonus points yet?) <- this is where my blood pressure rises

All approved reviews get 10 points.

The best, most informative reviews, based on a bunch of criteria, may receive bonus points.

Thanks again to Earphone Solutions, very generous. It has been awhile since I have heard the iGrados. Do people still do the foam mod on these or did Grado start doing it themselves? I thought I heard that awhile back.

I am going on a weekend trip on Friday so I hope I have them to use while I am traveling

this the kind of trip I don't feel comfortable carrying my jh-13's on.

I have had an exceedingly difficult month to month and a half. This really helps. Thank you again.

Hi everyone!

You are all very welcome!

Thanks for participating.

Stay tuned for the next Giveaway!

 

[yeahx]

I was going to check up on this the other day but got distracted and then forgot.

Thank you again! I have been very curious about the Grado sound.

Hey Flavio - are you going to post the link to the next giveaway here? That way everyone who is subscribed will know about the new contest without having to be on the lookout for a new thread. Or I guess you could just make this one long thread. Anyway, thanks again.

Good idea. Will do!

Just got them today. Thanks again!

I'm comparing them to my PortaPros now...

To be oversimplistic, I think they sound fairly similar straight from my S9, sharing a rather warm and bassy sound. Though this may change as the iGrados burn in, (my PortaPros have a lot of hours on them) I think the PortaPro barely has the edge simply because they're a bit more detailed, have better separation and better highs, whereas the iGrado has somewhat recessed highs (though smoother than the PortaPro), a bit muddier bass, and most importantly, doesn't seem to have the same liquid-like, famous Grado mids. Essentially, from what I can tell now, the iGrado is a great portable can, but doesn't really retain the "Grado gene" that I love so much.

EDIT: Nevermind all of that. Upon other suggestions, I just did the nickle mod--Much better sound indeed. Better than the PortaPro, especially in the mids. The detail in all registers, especially the highs, came out really well and no more muddiness either.

I got mine today. I think they sound great, but I love the low end Grado sound. SR60s are still my all time favorite phone, mostly because I can just enjoy music, any music and not worry about all the audiophile obsession.

I had heard a set awhile back, and if I am not mistaken they now come with the foam mod already taken care of. I could be wrong though, it has been awhile.

I haven't done anything to these and they sound very balanced and open, with a surprisingly good soundstage for a grado. I actually think the mids are the strength of this phone.

Thanks again HPS!!

 

[juniperlater]

Got mine too. Broke them in over the last 24 hours. Seem to be getting better every minute. Thanks so much!

 

[hockeyb213]
