but you see, saying "ahdjasnjdnsajhbduia hgdusiahgduisadisabdisabdisadibasi" awakens dread cthulhu from his slumber in sunken r'lyeh.

I know its wrong, but I've gotten in the habit of saying Sennheiser like Sign-how-zer. Must be my southern upbringings.

Grado is pronounced "bob"

 

[Enverxis]

"Grah-doe"
"Buy-a-dynamic"
"Senn-high-za"

 

[KR...]

It's pronounced the same way in Italian and Spanish.

 

[gsferrari]

Grado = Gr - ah - Doh / Gr - ei - doh (I go both ways randomly)
Sennheiser = Zenn - high - Zuh
Beyerdynamic = Bei - yuh - dinn - namic

 

[Buffalo Bill]

Maybe it's "Nerd - Tron" or even "Mhun - Ee - Pit". Who knows? Head-fi.

sign how zur? AHHH you crazy gits--I mean southerners don't know how to pronounce anything at all. sennheiser seems obvious to me, but maybe that's cause I take german. It's: senn (as in SENd) - high (when it's ei or ie, you pronounce only the second letter) - sir (as in, hello, good day sir)

senn-high-sir

Funny thing is I lived in Germany for a couple years and still try to pronounce it like sign how zur.

 

[Cyrillic]

The only part that you may have correct is the zur. sir and zur are very close sounding if I get what you mean. I guess it would have more of a z sound to it. I sometimes miss the small differences between an s and a z because I look at the s when thinking about it in german, and just know how it should sound.

i've called them and when their menu system kicks in it says "sen-high-zur" so that's the official word... straight from the company's phone menu system

 

[Shatter]

I know some German people...

Beyerdynamic = Buh-yer-dynamics (They pronounce the Buh-yer part quickly ... )

Being a Romanian, I tend to pronounce Grado the Italian way... Grah-do ("o" as in "all")

Sennheiser = Sen hy zur

 

[starfarer]

gra(rhymes with "bra")-doe


It never occurred to me that you could pronounce 5 letter word with different tone.Mostly from very first day i seen the word i use above.I'm south-east asian. Now this.....ahhh english.BTW even title of this thread reads " pernunciation of Grado"- another italian variant?

 

[minya]

"Pernunciation"? You need to learn how to spell before you start speaking.

 

[zChan]

Maybe its just me, but how do you pronounce Shure?
is it
Shoe-re (as in doh-re-mi)
or
Sure??
