I am curious--are people who are using the Grado HP1000's using them at home with a stationary stereo system, or are you using them with a portable system such as an ipod and portable headphone amp?
Reason I ask is I noticed the HP-1000 comes with 1/4" standard, which is unusual for headphones, most of which come with 1/8" and a 1/4" adapter. If you want to use the HP1000's with an 1/8" system you need a 1/4 to 1/8 inch adapter.
This leads me to believe this headphone is intended for home use, however I am curious if this is how they are predominantly used. how many people are using them with a portable setup and using a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter.
Or if you don't own them how would you use them if you did?
