Grado are not "hi-fi" in the sense that they don't give you a pure signal. Before people raise hell over that statement, let me explain. Technically "hi-fi" means pure and accurate -true to the recording. While Grados sound very good under proper conditions, they are not accurate at all. Whatever you listen to through a grado, will sound like grados version of that song. While it is VERY hard to get a completely neutral headphone, and some people don't even want that, Grados are very hit or miss, and only you can be the judge. I would say get a pair of sr60/80 used and take it from there. Resist the urge to get everyone over with, as the second you buy it, you are open to buyers remorse. |
