Which do you think would be more comfortable and offer better sound quality for listening to rock music such as: Alice in Chains, Buckethead, Chevelle, Led Zeppelin, Mother Love Bone, Mudhoney, Neil Young, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, The Offspring, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot...

What do the cups look like on the latest MS2i?  Chrome?  Brushed?  Gray-ish?  I have seen different pictures, but want to confirm what is current.  Also, please let me know if there are any quality issues, as I have read at least one negative comment in regard to the 325is. 

I'll start off by saying this, I know nothing about amps.  I'm going to be getting an MS-2i in the near future and I obviously want to amp it properly. It doesn't need to be portable, desk top is fine. My only other requirement is that it is rather inexpensive, comparatively speaking. About...

hello , first of all im sorry that my first post here is a question , but i'm not so good in understanding headphones specs up till a few days ago i've been happy with my in ears which came with my samsung galaxy s plus , operating them at 80-90% volume because higher than that the sound gets...

If there is one headphone you would like to wear to sleep what will that be?   It doesn't have to be best sounding but it must be comfortable, smooth and relaxing etc. It must be circumaural and closed back.   Any recommendation?   I use MS2i most of the time but it is hard to...

I feel like everyone beats on Grado's looks. Anybody out there other than me think they're some of the coolest looking headphones ever?  *Image by Saron on Amazon.com 

I am new to the Head-Fi forums and want to start listening to music on high quality headphones. I have been searching for some high quality, balanced sounding headphones that would fit my budget of less than $250. I would use the headphones for mainly listening to music being mostly Alternative...

I've been using a Cowon S9 and Shure SE210 for several months now, and then decided to also buy a FiiO E6 headphone amp.  Was this a good decision? Any advice which EQ would give it the best sound?

I've just had the idea of gluing them together, where the stock pads will be on top of the gs1000 pads....   has anyone tried this before? any impressions?

So I have been saving up for some time now and well I'm ready to get myself a pair of headphones. I'm pretty sure I want a Grado. My budget is $500. I can't spend more as of now. My plan was to get a SR325i and a Nuforce uDAC to pair it up. Currently my setup is Macbook Pro>Hifiman...

Hey Guys,   I'm new to this site but been reading it for awhile I guess.  I currently have a pair of Audiotechnica M50s and recently had a relative randomly give me a pair of Grado MS2's.  Never thought I would really need an amp.  Don't really have much budget to work with so less than $100...

Just got my MS2i's and love them. I've been using a Cowon S9 unamped and they sound great, so i thought id try my Fiio E6 to see what happened. Its not a match made in heaven, flattens the sound and compresses it.   What would be a good amp to go with the Cowon, and with a PC and DAC...

Hi All,   I'm building up my home rig again, and have myself a Burson HA160D amp - very happy with it, however - the AKG Q701s I bought don't have enough life / slam for more uptempo music...   My Sony Z1000s are relatively good all rounders, but - again - still not fantastic for rock /...

new to this site and i am looking for much needed help since i know nothing about what makes headphones good. i want headphones mainly for hip-hop/pop/R&B mostly songs they mainly play on the radio like nicki minaj, drake, chris brown, and etc.   My price range for headphones would be...

with the GS1000 pads... some say they're not huge when compared to the likes of ad700 or other notable big soundstage headphones... but it just sounds sooo damn good to me when I'm listening to classicals or orchestra songs... and it just feels like im in the concert itself... when I listen to...

Hi everyone, I am looking to upgrade from my Grado Sr80i to either an Sr325is, RS2i, or if it's really worth saving another $100 for, a PS500. I obviously love the "Grado sound", but what are the major differences. Any info helps.:)

SOOO I first put together a list and did a hell of a lot of research on a Vinyl + Phono + amp + HP rig for my dads 50th, then I found out how bad his hearing loss is, especially in the midrange.   I was considering the Allesandro MS2/Grado SR325 (with G-Cush pads) (and a $1100 budget for the...

Hey all you Alessandro Grado MS2i owners, can I ask you a few questions?   How do you feel about the Alessandro Grado MS2i aesthetics?  Is the metal too bright/shiny?   Looking for a pair for home use so ultimately i guess it really doesn't matter how flashy they are...   Anybody got...

In order not to infect and bring the SR60mod thread off-topic I thought it might be an idea to start a new thread for those of us Grado modders who want to share ideas/impressions/mods concerning their Symphones Magnums. Personally, I have been very impressed with the Magnum drivers and think...

What should I expect coming from RS1s and DT770s? I tried the HD 580s awhile back but thought I should give it another go. I was hoping to find a relaxing can that does not wanna make me start foot tappin like RS1s. Sometimes I wanna just drift off with jazz or trance. Any opinions are welcome.

Ive had my 325is for a week now and while i think they sound great unmodded i do see myself wanting to hear more bass impact from the kick drums for most of my songs.  Ive read that venting the holes will icrease bass.  most punch 4 holes and that seems a little excessive to me so i think id...

I tried searching for this on the forum and couldn't really find a thread with a direct comparison.  Any help would be appreciated.  I would be listening to these un-amped, and had originally considered the new PS500 coming out, but figured that it may not be worth it to purchase these to listen...

I am looking for a good set of very "liquid" or "musical" headphones. I really like the sound of my ATH A500s but I also love the sound of my etys. I liked both sennheisers and grados when I listened to them but the lower end grados seem to be a little harsh. With that said what are some good...

I'm working on a project and need some suggestions for open and closed headphones in the $300-$500 range. Thanks!

Hi, just bought a new ms2i:) thinking of getting a desktop amp for it, do u guys reckon a tube amp or a solid state amp? I'm thinking of getting the burson ha-160 or little dot mkiii   Thanks
