i know UPS , USPS all to well, lots of boxes get dropped off here, the ps500's are somewhere between canada, and my house
and i'm ready for them, as i really can't keep two cans at this price level, either the ms2, or the 500 will find their way to the sale thread soon,
y'all be checking your wallets, a good deal may be in someones future

Will using PAV2 with SR225i help?

 
PAV2 with a line-out signal works wonders with most headphones. Gary is awesome to deal with and his product is solid. It's humble pricepoint and appearance is the only thing holding it back IMO.

Hello!

Just won a Grado SR60i will be getting them sooner and later! It will be my first Grado headphone!!! XD I myself LOVE metal rocks and some other aggressive music so I am guessing I will like the Grado SR60i but the question is, what to aspect?! XD I am now currently using the XBA-4 so probably the IEM shall be my portable headphone and the Grado will be my reference real soon!!!

Any recommended ALBUMS to listen with the Grados? XD getting REALLY excited can't wait to get my first pair of Grado!!! And I heard it's a good headphone for modding!

Billson :D :D

Soundgarden- Superunknown perhaps?
 
Any Opeth album, though I prefer 'Still Life'
 
Just pick YOUR favorite and go from there!

I have actually picked out some already just awhile ago like the "Supermercy" by Muse, Fall Out Boys albums xD

Anything with prominent guitars will sound nice.  Maybe some classic rock? 


Thanks for the suggestion! XD

i'd say "guitars" by Mike Oldfield is a perfect Grado album.

While we're discussing great pieces for Grados: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpMfL_rG2Cw

Definitely check out Alice In Chains album (SAP), really cool, mostly acoustic, guitars and vocals, there are 5 tracks on the album, 4 of them are 10+, you will definitely enjoy the sound from your 60i's. Congratulations on your win!

you should listen to whatever you think of when you want to crank it up and put the pedal to the metal. IMO, your 60 will sound great and be FUN with any of your aggressive music. Incidentally, it will also sound good with acoustic music and jazz. The only thing I don't think it sounds great with is large symphonic works where you might want something that is technically more proficient with a larger soundstage. But from your post, it doesn't sound like you're listening to a lot of opera

I'm an aging rock and metal dude. I listen to a 225 which is just a little further up the food chain. I listen to schiit ton of metal/punk/rock, but also to blues, jazz, folk, ambient...it's all great IMO.
 
You've got a great little entry level metal, rock, blues-guitar oriented can...may be all you'll ever want.
