For some reason when I was playing a few songs on this ibook laptop in highschool between a Sennheiser HD 202 and Grado SR-80 and I didnt known the price range for the 202's and for some reason I could only hear a slight difference?? Maybe its the source? (ibook) was listening. Obviously the Grados had a slightly warmer sound and the senns werent as clear, more like a scratchy up front sound with a punchy bass but if I didnt know how much they were worth so I think I was being optimistic.
I listened to Jimi Hendrix:
Electric Lady Land
Easy Rider
Stepping Stones
then 2 Hip Hop songs called Day at the Races and I am Somebody by Jurrasic 5.
Im thinking it was the source and Im also thinking that you need a bit more juice like a amp or something to get the full potential out of a pair of Grados.
By the way if you get a chance, go and buy Demon Dayz by Gorrilaz its and awesome Album and has some of the best mixture between Guitar and Funky ambient music Ive heard in a while it was sick!!!! Spent the last hour listening to it. What Ive also noticed is that when you plug the headphones into the stereo system headphone jack it cuts the volume nearly in half, something that sounds fine or slighty above quiet on the headphones would be blasting on the speakers. Anyway thanks and please respond.
