I'm not the biggest fan of Zeos, but he's right about the cable.

I imagine they knew people disliked the cable and people love paracord wrapped cables, so the logic solution is to wrap the same cable in paracord, obviously that should fix the issue.

I prefer a portable.price 100-200usd
So far I think a DFR is a good choice.work with pc and phone.
It is a 500$ combo.
For the same price it is possible to buy all in one solulition for less. Ex earman tr-amp.
Ione only work with ex power.

another solution is using xcan with bt and phone on the hurry.
And a pc + modi/other 99$ dac+ xcan as a full resolutionsystem.
I bought the xCAN after reading this:

Never tryed vinyl before.
Maybe I should go for a turnable instead of a dac.

careful - once you hear your favorite albums and artists on LP, digital is meh. I’m biased of course.

Modi Multibit uses the same case.

yes. But needs ext power. I gonna use it at my livingroom table. powered from my pc`s USB
so std modi or topping D10s work better in my setup

I collected cd`s before. but I quit. (my music taste changed, some worn out, garbage)
so 50% is stored in the attic, other 50% in the garbage.
miss physical format. Roon and qobus is great, but not the same. sold my cd player in 2016.
so considering vinyl.
grado is very often pictured with turntables.
don't make things better

He said he was getting the 325x soon but I have no interest in that due to it being heavier than even the GS models.

GS is quite lightweight due to all wood construction. Any headphones with metal housing material should be (fairly) heavier.

If personally I have to choose SR X line, it would be only 60X and 325X.

I'm not the biggest fan of Zeos, but he's right about the cable.

I agree about the new cable. It might fix tangling and the awkward bending of one side to the other but other than those 2 minimal complaints from me, it is a more of a downgrade than an upgrade.

 

[Stevko]

Same FR and pads on 60/80/125.
So go for the 60 or 225/325
Think 225X could be a good choice(cheaper and lightweight)

 

[TheMiddleSky]

I'd choose 60X over 125X due to extra brightness of 125X. Other people may choose the opposite.

Bought some Grado 325x on Tuesday. Usually it’s one day delivery from where I bought them from but they decided to use FedEx which my heart dropped whne I saw that but oh well. My suspicions were correct and it’s delayed so have to wait until after the weekend. Can’t wait to get them!

Due to a change in my employment I have had the unexpected blessing of having more personal chill out time in my life , simply wonderful.
So what have I done with this free time ??? I pretty much forced myself to take take full advantage of my Deezer Hifi subscription , whether I felt like listening to music or not .
I've got the Headphones , I've got lossless Flacs at my finger tips , so what shall I listen to ?? I decided to go back to my roots & listen to all the all the Bands & Albums I grew up with .
To make sure I didn't miss a step I even went up into the attic & brought back down several boxes , boxes that contained my once precious jewels. An innumerable amount of CD's that my entire youth was built upon where ready for action , a smile appearing on my face as I started to remember how much I loved looking at the inlay sleeves .
The words "I forgot about that" where spoken with pure joy every time I found an old diamond.
Well I've started the mind numbing task of ripping them all to Flac , which may take some time. I've started now , so I ain't stopping.

Aaahhh yes , the headphones , I'll keep it Grado ...................I use
The Hemp with Beautiful Audio Hybrid pads & Merino wool pads.
The Hemp is wonderful , it sounds awesome using both sets of pads from B.A i, t's simply wonderful , nothing more to be said on that.

But the PS-500e with the Beautiful Audio Hybrid pads , is the best Grado I've ever heard , I've owned the majority of the e-Series at some point (no flag ships) , It truly is magnificent.
I've really had the time to put these headphones to full use & have done just that .

The PS-500e & The Hemp are the two Grado's I will never be selling . I've also the Hifiman Ananda at my fingertips , which I think is magnificent , so I pretty much think that's the end of my Headphone journey .
I'm done , I have everything I need in my audio life , I found my end game trio .

Thanks to all the wonderful members of this thread that have shared great knowledge , I've read every word of this thread & I trusted the wisdom on this page to purchase many Grado models .
Just like many others I'm not made of money , so spending £££££ on UK Grado prices was a huge gamble in my life.

If you are new to the forum and skint , yet desire some Grados , there is some great advice and knowledge here , read it .

Thanks again , I'm done,

AWS Soul, now you need a other amp or DAC...

 

[Coztomba]

Generally about 2 hours after thinking I’m done and really happy with what I have, I find myself looking at other headphones…

 

[Joaquin Dinero]

Most of the time while I'm listening and marvelling at how good something sounds, I'm still looking for other headphones.
