Hello everyone!
I want to upgrade to a Grado headset.. I heard the SR80 model, it's just amazing, the instrument is so deep and alive, an amazing singer's voice.

Is there another Grado model that is recommended to purchas

Ha! Lucky for you, there are 4,209 pages of advice about that very subject!

Start with an SR60 or 80.

GH2 is a sure bet but scarce as it's a limited model. The Hemp is very popular, too.

Generally, 60x or 80x is a good start.

Next would be Hemp or SR325x

If you listen to rock, the SR325x is the best $ value (also excellent bass)

However, the Hemp is seen by many as the best all rounder

Let the wars begin !

Hello everyone!
I want to upgrade from hifiman sundara to a Grado headset.. I heard the SR80X model, it's just amazing, the instrument is so deep and alive, an amazing singer's voice.

Is there another Grado model that is recommended to purchase?

edit: sr80x vs sr125x ?

Buy yourself an SR60x so you can listen if the Grado sound suits your tastes--and listen to it for a long time before moving on to another model.

This is great advice!

Speaking of sr60x , is it true that the vintage sr60 with 'pink drivers' sounds better than the current model?

Grado headphones (or mostly all serious headphones) all sound great for someone. It's really hard to give good advice as we don't know your personal likes, your audio hardware and the music you want to listen to.

I mostly roamed Ebay and bought relatively cheap offers to get an impression how they do sound.

Another visit by a friendly employee of the local postal services... Now there's four of them, with the GH2 still being my favorite, but the others showing rather different characters which makes switching between them quite interesting.

So you caught the 'Grado Virus'?

Yes, a bit I guess. I like the lightweight feel and the simple looks.
Three of my four models have the same cable, the Button uses a much lighter cable. All of them much more comfortable than the newer cables used on the x series.
The Button has the lowest sensitivity, followed by the PS500. Hemp and GH2 are quite a bit louder, which makes comparisons more complicated.

Hi all! Just received my RS1x. This was an open box deal. My question is does the standard package include a plug-in adapter for use with a headphone amp. instead of the cables built-in mini plug?

I'll spend the weekend comparing the RS1x to my Hemps using my iFi Neo2 and Schiit Asgard 3 with TrueMultibit card. If I have time I'll also try it with my old PSA Audio GCHA and Musical Fidelity M1 DAC. So Tidal and Quobuz are
going to get a workout this weekend! Forgot to add Chord Mojo2 in the mix also!

So do you think GH2 and PS500e sound similar? Same ballpark at least?

Oh, just saw it's a PS500 not 500e.
