100+ Head-Fier
Hey all, first off this site has been a great resource. I recently decided to stop being so cheap and treat myself to some good headphones. I went to Harmony Audio Video in San Francisco this morning and came home with the Grado SR325is headphones #567.
I have always enjoyed plenty of highs so I am not turned off by all of the reports of painful highs with the 325i drivers. So far after a couple of hours I feel the highs are just fine, love the detail. From reading different threads here I understand that a bit of a break in is in order. Can anyone give me some tips? how long? volume level? material, etc.
So far right out of the box I am hearing some details that I never heard before in songs that I thought I knew quite well. I have read about these being great rock/metal headphones and I am sure that is true but I have been listening to a few albums from The Faint (Electronic Rock, lots of synth and other effects) and I am truly pleased so far.
I am planning most of my use to be with my computer and I am interested in getting an amp to get further quality. I am by no means an experienced audiophile but I definitely can hear the quality difference and I want More!!!
Does anyone have any amp suggestions? A good pairing with the SR325is?
Many thanks again everyone, I'm quite happy with my purchase.
