New to the forum and looking to hopefully to buy my first pair of audiophile headphones. This website has been very helpful so far.

 

[Ge0 Audio]

Hi. I go by the name Ge0 on many other audio related forums. But, that name was too short here so I called myself Ge0 Audio. Clever eh?

I'm just another schmuck going through a mid life crisis. Seriously though, I'm a big audio fan and DIY'er. I'm was wondering where else can I dump off a boat load of cash to support yet another facet of my hobby? Why not upgrade my headphones?

I bought a few commercial sets of cans from Beyerdynamic (DT 1990 Pro) and Sennheiser/Drop (HD 58X). I also have a 20 year old set of Grado SR60's. I was wondering. I like them all. But, how can I tinker with and improve them? So, I just bought a set of MiniDSP EARS to make measurements with and to set some base lines.

I'm rather intrigued with all the options available to me to heavily modify my Grado's. So, maybe I will start there. This seems like the place...

Hello everyone, recently fell into the rabbit hole and completely new to audio in general. Looking to get my first pair of headphones soon, just trying to learn more before I do!

Good first pair is grado sr60e or x headphones.

Hi All,

Very new to head fi. Thought this forum was the place to start learning. Have kicked off my journey with Meze 99 Classics, iFi Zen DAC and CAN stack and supplied cables from both.

The fun begins....

Hello all, im new to HiFi and Audio in general but wanted to really put the time into an excellent audio setup. After a Ton of Research I went with the Focal Utopia being my choice of headphone, with my Amplifier currently being shipped I have to wait a good while, I still have yet to choose a DAC.

Expect no mercy, on your wallet, that is!!

Grado is a high quality family-run company. While I don't have personal experience with the sr60e's, based on what I've read they could well be the best cans at $100 or under, a solid choice at the very least.

If you have a bit more $$ to start with then you might consider the Shure SRH1840's. They've been around a long time and although they list at $500+, you can get them new on eBay at $300 or less(if you're patient) like I very recently did.

You could even call them the poor man's Focal Utopia (SRP$4000), given other comparisons to them.

So now I'm just waiting for delivery and once that happens I'll review them in the correct thread and update my signature, of course!

Hello everyone. Nice to meet you. This is the first time I’m creating an account in a forum. I’m kinda new to the whole headphones and hi-fi community, but i hope I can learn a lot and exchange good words between us (sorry for my English, haven’t practiced that much this last years). I use the Sony’s WH-1000XM3 as well the Audiotechnica M50X. Also I’m getting into the IPod Classic community. Thank you and hope you are doing well

 

[Loukasss]

Also I wanted to know if any of you here have tried the Grado sr125x. I’ve read in the Grado Fan Club here about the other models, but no one seems to have used the one I mentioned I’m choosing between the sr80x and the sr125x. What do you think? Thanks by the way

Hello everyone, another new guy here. My current audio gear is a Final E3000, Blon BL Mini and a Tri Strasea on the way and my source is a Shanling UP4.

I'm looking forward to learning tons of new stuff from everyone here and hopefully share some of my findings with you all as well
