Hey folks I'm a retired guy living on Soc. Sec. so I love buying great bang for your buck items. I decided yesterday to find out what Grado's sound like so a very nice guy- trip221- hooked me up with some SR60's which are on the way and I scooped up a Fiio E5 headphone amp from amazon, both...

I've spent many hours reading various postings and product reviews, and I still cannot make a decision on which headphones to get. I listen to music primarily at work (MP3s via on-board PC sound card), using Shure SE110 in-ears. I have found that although I like how they sound, the in-ears make...

I think so. I paid $70 for it used around here. It is a HUGE improvement over my onboard audio. But. It is barely much better than my Droid. Yes. My Motorola Droid is similar. Yes, the uDac gives my Grado's more soundstage and a tiny bit more bass and cleans up the mids but not worth $70 over...

The lower end models have the plastic outer shell and plastic for the inner shell too.   The 325 and ms2 have metal outer shell and plastic inner shell.  Magnum mod changes that to an Al inner shell.   The HF2 has metal outer shell and wood inner shell.   What do the RS1 and RS2...

This review wasn't done by me, but as a grado owner I found it pretty hilarious. Especially the part where the person says that with the SR60s you wont be getting any sound quality at the level of DRE BEATS.   NOTE: BTW Grado sent the SR60 free of charge, I wonder who I'd have to talk to in...

I'm going to keep this simple. I am looking to step it up to some real MAN Over-ear headphones under about 90$. Any earbud suggestions are welcome however...   I have owned: HiFi Man RE0's (EXCELLENT) Koss PortaPro's Klipsch Image s4's Shure se210 (terrible IMHO)   To be used...

Several months ago I posted about some "decent" cheap phones and got some good advice. I'm now in a position to buy something a little more expensive as I try and make my way back up the food chain to audiophile headphones I used to own. I'm interested in pretty much all phones in the price...

Hey all, I have a question....I just got my Grado sr60i's and I really like them.....I like them so much that now I'm really curious to know what a better set of headphones sound like. I'm looking to spend 200-250 for a new set. Any and all suggestions are welcome and I greatly appreciate your...

Hi Everyone,   I can't tell you how helpful this forum is. Overwhelming a bit? Sure . But helpful, yes!   I am in the process of finding a good portable headphone for my boyfriend. He is a huge audio lover and is in the very beginning stages of creating a great home audio environment to...

Where would be the best place to get them

Hi Bought a pair of closed back akg k140 headphones off ebay cheap. So i thought i will mod these bigtime with new parts and swap the cable for kimber pbj and fit kimber tcss single strand cable for the right side as i wanted to keep these single entry and transform them into vented ones...

ok, so ive had a pair of hd280s for a while now and have wanted to upgrade a few times but never could commit the cash. but im pretty sure that im gonna do it this time. what im looking for is a set of headphones and a dac/amp for 200-300 bucks. i know this isnt a whole lot to work with and...

I have heard some bad and good reviews I like the earbuds, also earbud vs over the head which is better for hard rock/metal

I know the Grado SR60s are good, but they are open and I can't find them for anything closer than $80.  I'm looking to pick up some headphones for my friend.

Headphones on 120$ i buy to china use on pc

What are the electrical and internal differences between the Grado headphones? Is it all the same driver but a different housing/cabling and whatnot? Could I take the drivers from HF-1's and put them in SR60's and expect a difference?

After years of crappy headphones I think it is time I got something better, they will be ran off my computers sound card (reaktek HD audio) and mostly used for rock, metal and gaming. I know about the grados but people say they are extremely uncomfortable and after using my logitech headphones...

I'm new to the whole amp/DAC thing. I have been looking towards an upgrade in headphones, I currently own SR60s and have been looking in the $200-300 range and have found a couple that seem suitable to what I would like in a headphone. While looking at the reviews everyone has said that an amp...

Hi there, After years of dealing with in-ears I have had it, my ears are always terribly sore, isolation issues, etc.   I play bass guitar and I like to play along with certain track to learn timing etc.. I play a wide variety of music.. from smooth jazz to hardcore punk rock.   Im...

I've been reading through all the countless posts from people with similar queries and could do with some final insight before buying, especially given current prices I listen to mainly classical and don't care about open/closed, only about whichever gives me the best sound for my money.  ...

So for Christmas this year i've decided to treat myself to a headphone make-over and buy a few new sets of headphones. Basically I have three types of headphones that I want:   1. One set of in-ear (I know different section for these) for my iPhone that include mic and and remote. I was...

I really have no knowledge about headphones, so I have to bother others with my lack of knowledge, so sorry about that.   My budget is pretty firm at $50, maybe I could bump it up to $75 but I would only do that if there would be a dramatic difference. I would use the headphones mostly for...

Sounds louder in right than in left, left cable is squished more than right. No warranty     Mackat     EDIT: Just started buzzing, stopped when I slapped it

Hi, I am pretty new at all this audiophile stuff but I've been slowly getting involved. I had the Grado sr60 but got fed up with the tiny bass as I listen to alot of electronica although they smashed at rock. Anyways sold those... Now I'm looking for a replacement and I think I'll be going for...

Hi, as you can see this is my first post.  I honestly don't think i could handle the techy conversations that continously happen here, but I respect all your knowledge so I can actually find a decent pair of headphones.  Who knows though, I may get into this "audiophile buisness."   So for a...
