Thanks for the feedback guys!
I actually prefer open back headphones than closed back headphones. the sound is more natural to me of its open back but Grados leak more sound than any headphone that i had. Although i feel like the SR80i doesnt even need to be used with high volume because you could hear everything on a moderate volume unlike my koss proDJ100, porta pro, and modded KSC75 (used to be a Koss fan until i bought the GRADOS
) I mean i dont think the sound leakage is that bothering anyway unless if you are in a very quiet environment such as a library so i think people shouldnt be discouraged to buy grados because of the sound leakage. i mean the sound quality is worth it.
Where can i get the wooden cups and is it easy to mod Grados? the only thing i modded was my ksc75 with the kramer mod and replacing it with the senn PX200 ii pads then with bigger pads that i got from my sony mdr-v150 and the part that holds the pads from it.and putting it on the koss porta pro headband. and i think i would only be comfortable with those kind of mods because grados sr80i is not that cheap.
and would recabling change the sound of grados? (i never recabled any headphone but once i learn, i will!)
But im gonna order the L-cush or is there any better cushion that i should consider? Comfort is no problem for me except the cushion. the cushion gets itchy at times.
Also i think im satisfied with the sr80i for now and little modding that would make it sound even better than it already is would be nice. But does modding it change the sound with big difference? and how good are the sr225i? because i read somewhere that sr255i sound similar to ms-1 which brought up the question if upgrading would be advisable.
