I'd be interested to hear the results of R10+KGCA (or R10+META42 w/ EL2009s)

Originally posted by Calanctus Has anyone tried the R10 with either the Earmax Pro or the Headroom Max? |

Originally posted by kelly Last I checked, this thread was about two headphones, not just one. Nice to see that mod hat is fitting so comfortably on you. |

Originally posted by Joe Bloggs Grado HP1--listening time: ~4 min. I actually auditioned the R10 first, but since I have much less to say about them, I'd rather put this on top. These have the characteristic Grado punchy and aggressive sound without sounding sibilant and completely off the mark of real-life sound like the SR125 I heard last time. These may or may not be a whole lot better than the Senns and Etys, but I was too busy trying to evaluate the R10 to listen to these enough to say much about them beyond their general tonal characteristics. I need to go back and listen to them some more at the upcoming Hong Kong Head-Fi meet (stay tuned at the Meetings forum |
Originally posted by ze-ant In a nutshell, I found that the HP-1 was nowhere as transparent, airy, detailed and had a much narrower soundstage compared with the R10. Although I must add that the bass of the HP-1s was more pronounced than on the R10. |
Originally posted by ze-ant Perhaps I should also add that I agree with your theory that the sound of the R10 is tailored for older ears - or putting it another way, acoustic and vocal music. |
