Good day to everyone.
The time has come to give my first Grado impression up here. I am new here and have spend some money lately to upgrade the sound i already have. This is my first Grado phones which i have bought with spontaneity. I was always interesting in how they may sound and finally i did it. And glad i am!
First of all i would like to tell you which set up and music i have used.
Phones: Grado SR225 / AKG HEARO 888 DIGITAL
Player: DVD Pioneer
Amplifier: Firestone Cute Encore
Music:
Sade "The best of Sade" @ Great and very controled BASS response. Nice details and easy listening.
Smooth operator
The sweetest taboo
Never as good as the first time
No ordinary love
Pink Floyd " Delicate Sound of Thunder" live performence @ Closer to stage and very good detailed sound. Soundstage is huge.
Shine on you crazy diamond
Learning to Fly
Comfortably numb
Candy Dulfer " Big Girl" @ Very fun to listen, just make you move all the way. Once again details, yeah amazing and very live.
2Miles
Capone
September
Up Stairs
Jazz it's me
Deep Purple "Bananas" @ HOLLY MOLY, WOW!!! Here it comes. THEY ROCK YOU HELL OUT OF YOUR BODY! For a long time just got my TRILL AGAIN, YEAH!
House of pain
Sun goes down
Silver tongue
Well to start i would like to say that they are absolutely comfy ones, i mean it. Very light weight and i was just forgeting that i have them on. Compare to AKG a BIG PLUS POINT.
In the begining i didn't expect much, thought that i wouldnt be surprised at all. And i wasnt, to tell you the true, CRAZY HA?! Until i get some serious time to seat with all those records and compare them.
My first impression with all records, the music is much closer to you and they are brighter. I would like to use another word than BRIGHT, i would like to say that music become more live and natural in all aspects. Its total different experience which brings you to higher listening level. My AKG couldnt take it in some difficult passages and mixes when Grado did so easy and flawless, without to killing your ears even with high volume level. It is very painful to realized that my lovely AKG just loose there first place. Not sure if this the fair comparison because the AKG wireless one and thats a different story of course, but consider the price, THEY LOSE ALL THE WAY! Dont get me wrong they still a great phones, but only for some situations now, when i want some movement around the house or for watching the movies. But when I want some serious listening, GRADO it is!
I can only imagine now how AKG K701 sounds like, because in the begining I was planning to get them first. But unfortunately dont have enough money at the moment and deсide to purchase Grado SR225 AND GLAD I DID!
I would like to thank all head-fiers up here for sharing there experience with us and to help people make a good choices. THX!!!
