Would rather go for PS500 which had a more refined sound compared to RS2i/e or just get a SR325e for that fun sound.

First thing first, I love the Grado sound a lot for the music I listen to mostly (rock, classic rock, indie rock, soft rock). I also love large soundstage (AD700, K7xx) as well. While I do like my AKG K7xx for their wide soundstage, I am finding them boring and not engaging. The soundstage, to...

Hello Guys,   I have signed myself up on Head-fi for quite a few years. Never posted anything until today. The reason why I do today, is because I can use some inputs from everyone on one very troubling question I've been asking myself for quite a few weeks. How can I justify myself for...

So as the title suggests, I`m considering selling off my ie800s and buying a similarly priced set of headphones, in particular I`m looking at the Grado sr325e and rs2e, I was wondering if these headphones will offer an improvement in sound quality or if they will simply be added bulk, I know...

I'm working with a pair of Sony MDR-v600 headphones. I want to upgrade. I've got a good budget, so that's not in question. (The quality of the headphone will decide how much I wanna spend.) One thing though... I cannot find a good stereo shop in my area that has the high end headphones I've...

Just want to start a thread for the new Lyr 2.  Interested in impressions.

The DAP market has definitely changed in the last few years.  Hi-rez players, great built-in DACs, great HOs (headphone out), line-out, coax out etc. and a variety of file formats that can be played.  The possibilities are great and plentiful whether it's at home or on the go.  Plugging in a...

Hello everyone, before you say search i want to let you know I searched like crazy for this! I am new to this forum, my name is Gabe.  I currently own the grado 325is model. I love them, but i recently found the opportunity to buy the rs2 model. The issue is that its the buttonless one and...

my hd 650s are out for delivery! i got up super early today, well i couldnt really sleep last night hehe just to make sure the nice ups guy wouldnt go back. cant wait to put em on...oooh and i get my prelude AND the little dot amp in the same package.

After kicking the idea around for quite a while and with the support of a generous Head-fier who wishes to remain anonymous, I am able to start up the headphone loan programme which will permit a member to use a headphone in their home. Which Headphones Are Offered? To begin, we will have...

Hello i am thinking of buying this combo, and i just wanna check with you guys if i need to make some changes or will i be happy with this?   Thanks for answers

I am currently doing research of the area of a headphone amp + dac combo for my MacBook Pro. My previous setups has been Marantz SA 7001 KI + LittleDot I+ and Grado RS-2 or Vincent KHV-1pre with Sennheiser HD600 cans. Now I am living in a different part of the world and the requirements has been...

Hello,   I'm new to head-fi, just getting into the whole world of audiophilia.  I've had some Grado SR60s for a while now, I love them like my first car!  After auditioning a friend's RS2s last year, I started saving and finally found myself able to purchase a pair (from our own LCfiner)...

I've been curious about Grado's for a while now. I don't listen to the genre's they are purported to work with though, which has stopped me from looking at them further. There seems to be a love hate relationship with these cans in that they only seem to be recommended for certain genres, have...

The RS-2 is on-sale locally near me for $499.99.  Would you consider picking it up? What is the best bang for your buck headphone around $500... I've spent too much on IEMs, planning to get a headphone for desktop/laptop use with my E17.

Hi Guys   I've had to dig my headphones out again since moving from a detached house to a flat and well they just aren't cutting it compared to my last speaker set up.   My current rig is Foobar/FLAC -> Emu 0404 USB -> Modded HeedCanamp -> Grado RS-2s but the combo just isn't making me...

I generally listen to rock music like green day and I want a headphone which makes guitar, drums, and vocals more "alive" and present. I currently own an audio technica ath-m50 and a sennheiser IE60 (IEM) and so I decided to test both of them on the rock genre. I tested my IE60 first and played...

After spending some time on the head-fi forums, I am thinking on settling with the HE-400 for my first hi-fi pair.   However, I might go ahead and buy another sub $300 pair for comparison purposes. I was looking for a "bright" headphone that would make the sound signature appear more "fun"...

I have a couple of questions for the Grado Junkies.   Is there anyway that anybody has listened to every one of them , or at least like 5 different ones...post some comments here about what you liked and what seemed to be the best bang for the buck and so forth...interested in as much info...

Sameone compared the Grado GS1000 and GS1000i? Piero

Having been excited to go take a listen to both the Grado RS2i and RS1i's, I went to my local shop with my newly gained LD1+ and some music favorites.  After a good A/B comparison of the two, with various music types, I came to the conclusion that I liked what I was hearing in both sets, but...

im loving the grado house sound, and im hooked up with an entry level Fiio E7...   i wanna upgrade slowly and have been thinking about getting the sr225 over the sr325...   are there any recommendations for an equivalent can (price wise, or SQ wise) to the models above?   Noob...

I have Unison Research S2 and they sound good. They have 10 watts per channels left and right. They have 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm and Zero Ohm for loud speakers wire.   I have not use it since I have a baby and I could not turn any sound from my loud speaker on.   That why I decided to get a head...

Im thinking of getting an RA1 to compliment my arriving RS1, but Im concerned about its humming problems that that current/previous RA1 owners in this board are complaining about. Especially in sensitive cans like the RS1. Others say its dead silent. What is your personal experience with the...
