What open headphones (no IEM and closed headphones) compete with Grados for Rock.
I need an alternative open headphone. I like mid bass and forward mids but the upper midrange and lower treble is too much.- sling5s

iPhone 6 (& Plus) & iOS 8 Sound Quality Discussion
I had the iPhone 4 and my daughter has the iPhone 5S, now I have the iPhone 6. So far I feel the iPhone 6 has the best sound. It's warm but detailed. The iPhone 4 and 5S with the iOS 7 sounded detailed but on the neutral and clean side. But now the iPhone 6 (& iOS8 of course) sounds a...- sling5s

Please Help with Audeze Upgrade Dilemma! Edited: No More Dilemma, Purrin's TP Mod Did It!
I currently have the LCD-2 Rev. 1. I had the Rev. 2 but preferred the Rev.1. I love the lush thick mids and bass of the Rev.1. While I love the LCD-2 rev. 1, I crave more separation, detail and soundstage. So: 1. Should I, sell the LCD-2 and get the LCD-3 which just improves on the...- sling5s

ATH-W1000X vs AH-D7000 for Pop
I was about to sell my AH-D7000 for a pair of ATH-W1000X. I wanted something that was more lively but with bass for rock, pop and hip hop. But in headphonia's review of the ATH-W1000X, it says that they are recommended for jazz and acoustic and not good with rock, pop and hip hop. ...- sling5s

Which Dac (HRT Music Streamer II + or Audio GD NFB-3) for MAD EAR with Grado RS1
I like both the sound signature of the HRT Music Streamer and NFB-3. They are both very musical dacs; both on the warm side, yet lively and detailed. That is, it's not clinical, thin and bright. But which would make a better match fro the Mad Ear and Grado rs1. They are both about...- sling5s

As an AMP: which has greater power and dynamics: Audio GD Fun or Yulong D100?
I believe from what I read that the Yulong D100 is a more detailed Dac than Audio GD Fun. The Dac in Fun is less detailed but more smooth and warm in comparison. But which has a better Amp? Yulong is Class A but seems to lack the power. From what I heard, the Audio GD might have great power...- sling5s

Any HD800 owners go back to AKG K701/2?
I loved the hd800, but just could not deal with the brightness and sibilance in many recordings. Went and got akg k702.

HD800 is known to have the biggest soundstage (apart from Akg k1000 ear speakers) along with others like AKG K701/2. But in some odd way, Grado w/bowls seem to have a larger soundtage. What do I mean? When I listen to Senns or AKGs I feel closed in. While on the Grado with bowls...- sling5s

I briefly heard the ps1000 and had the gs1000 for a while and have the rs1i. I don't care that the ps1000 has more bass and it's obvious that it will have more soundstage due to the larger pads. But does it have that much more detail. I know because of the jumbo pads, the details in the...- sling5s
