They are ancient headphones. Maybe try the new modern and 21st century companies? Denon, AT, Beyerdynamic, AKG, Sennheiser, Shure. I mean, even the name "grado" sounds weird. Also, the two cans on a grado headphone look like buttercups. And it's just a little family company.

Because the sound doesn't lie.

Sound quality > aesthetic. Nobody really gives a horse crap on how headphones look here on Head-Fi.

Plus, Grado have this "retro" look that only tickles some Head-Fier's pickles, just like how Stax and Jenklin Floats do.

I love the look of Grados, simple and elegant. Sennheisers are the ugliest headphone in my opinion.

An epic troll post if I've ever seen one. Nothing but attention whore wannabe been there down that instigative crap and ban worthy IMO.

I love how ancient in bold italicized makes absolutely no sense, considering Grado has only been making headphones since the mid 90s.

Grado's are retro and cool, simple design which I can fix myself. Sennheiser are cheap looking with swathes of plastic, if it breaks you cannot fix it yourself.

Are you brain dead? Grado has been making headphones since the 60s.

Obviously the OP does not understand that we like Grados because it upsets him (or her). It is, in fact, a conspiracy.

 

[MadMan007]

Why are trolls trying to tell people what they should like so popular on Head-Fi?

Uhh Wrong. Phono cartridges yes, headphones no.

I'm not sure about the accuracy of that statement (pretty sure it's wrong), but even if it's true, most of the models loved here are from the 90s or later.

And even if they were from the 60s, old headphones aren't necessarily bad. The DT48 has a following here and they were developed in 1937 (released in the 50s). The technology isn't advancing as quickly as you'd think.

It's entirely possible that he's trolling, but I think it's best to treat it as if he's not. A lot of the time people are making genuine criticism and being ignored for being a "troll" will not give them any answers they were looking for.

Yes, and how long has Sennheiser been making headphones? How about AKG? I believe they released their first headphone in 1949.

They made PHONO CARTRIDGES in the 60s when it was under Joseph Grado. John took over in the 90s.

Stupid troll.

Well at least Sennheiser and AKG models look more modern, and their names are pretty tight. And AKG and Sennheiser are proper big companies, unlike the family run grado.
