recently came into this forum for which I am grateful. because of it, however,
I now have 2 sets of heaphones which I love ( grado sr225 and sennheiser hd 595). as soon as I begin to favor one, I listen with the other and favor it. As
"different" as they may be they lure you back. As each set gets more and
more burned in, they seem to age for the better. What a wonderful problem!

Currently my MS2 and DT770 are in limbo on my head. Nice problem to have

I can't wait til my RS1 arrives, so I can have that problem too...

I occassionally listen to my ety 4Ps underneath my 770s, so I get the bass thud and the super detail...

Like your avitar, reminds me of Joe Satriani listening to Grados.

funny story behind that head...it was left in my cube by the previous occupant. It was a 3d modelling researcher who scanned his own head in, then had the 3d printer print it for him...I use it as a headphone stand. But those aren't grados, those are the 770s

What I really have trouble choosing between at the moment is the blueberry and the supermacro...

I understand completely! Though you put it into words better than I could have. I also have Grado sr225's and Senn hd595. I'm glad I don't have to choose between them. Just when I think I could pick I try the other again and I'm torn. Lucky I've got room for both (and maybe a few more).

Oddly enough I have the same pairing.

I don't plan to leave them alone for much longer. Hopefully they'll have three or four new buddies to play with by the end of the year. Then I'll decide which ones to...... take to work

Polygamy is the way to go with headphones.

I tend to go through a weekly rotation through my headphones, unless there's a certain song I am dying to listen, I would put them on with the phone that I felt best with it...

I've got to agree with the folks who say multiple and different-sounding cans is the way to go. I listen to my 595's most, but sometimes just have to get a little bit of the 590's and ER-4P's. Maybe I'll try the 590's over them... thanks for that idea!

As far as headphones go, I think a menage-a-trois is perfectly acceptable!

I wouldn't plan on taking the grados to work...the leakage would create a problem in your workplace. The hd 595s seem to allow a good amount of sound out as well.

I actually use both at work now with whatever I plan on listening to for the day determining which ones I take. I listen at very low volume at work so the leakage isn't much of an issue and I can actually hear the phone when it rings with open headphones.

Damn! You beat me to it.

 

[dw6928]

if you had to choose one, 225 or 595, which would it be. i may have to relinquish one to my teenage son who has discovered the wonderful sound of
good headphones, not the junk that comes with ipods.
