    post your grado mods....

    I have an Epsilon R1 driver sitting here, that may never get put together if I do not move forward with it. I was under the idea that there was a faq page for modding resources here, but I just can't find it:   A) Is there a recommended cable builder with one that can survive the elements? Or...

    Grado Modders Go Ypsilon (Elleven Acoustica drivers and builds thread)

    Would you say any of the Ypsilon drivers work well with flats? Were you just using the Grado flat pads TTVJ, or any other form of off-brand/modded flats? Also, how did the flats distort the sound?   Thank for taking the time.

    Sennheiser HD25 Aluminium 25th anniversary edition review

    I can't imagine a more enjoyable headphone. Something about on-ears make the positioning of the drivers stupid easy - something that costs much more for an over-ear to positions correctly. With the durability of the HD-25 and the user replaceable parts, i'm surprised this isn't more...

    The "non-Grado" Driver Grado Thread

    Is it known that the Turbulent "Magnum" driver is no longer in production. I contacted the owner, and it doesn't look like he plans on making more.

    Grado e Series

    I have a pair of 325e's coming in tomorrow for comparison, and i'm still searching for a missing (recessed) general frequency for the RS2e's; but without question, the RS2e's, while hot, are the most musical headphone's i've ever used. (I don't have memory of the original RS1's I used to...

    Grado e Series

    From what I gathered, the 325e has usurped the 225e in terms of best value (next to the sr80e). The Amazon review of the SR series on Amazon is very helpful (it is generally the most helpful review). I have a big beef with Consumer Reports though. I used to subscribe to them. You would see...

    Grado e Series

    You guys are giving me a hard decision. Other than the treble being tamed on the e series, does anyone that have heard both the rs2e and the 325e have a couple of differences. Like I said, I love my 600s for their versatility and spectrum. I listen to too many genres to have a headphone with a...

    Grado e Series

    Maltronics,   Have you compared it to the others mentioned, ps500/rs2? I heard the 325 was very hard on the highs.

    Grado e Series

    This is an extremely tough decision. I'll sit on going with the RS2e for the day, and make a decision by tonight. Any other opinions would be appreciated.

    Grado e Series

    Zuqi, would you be able to explain the fatigue on the PS500e to you.   Also, what makes the RS2e superior to you.

    Grado e Series

    That's the problem i'm having. It appears the 500e is the most like the 650 with lessened treble and emphasized bass. Purely by frequency response, I should be going with the RS2e; however, opinion seems to be that the 500e is the most genre compatible, and there are no measurements yet for the...

    Grado e Series

    I was hoping to gather an opinion hear and appreciation the input.   I purchased the RS1e about six months ago. I didn't spend too much time with it before selling it, and moving on because the driver issues on the e series RS1, whereas I usually am fine with Grado's. Finally, I figured i'd...

    What you would consider the best ampless headphone setup

    I believe you may be pursuing this the wrong way - if you are pursuing for yourself.   What sound signature are you looking for (you can use graphs at InnerFidelity to see what has a similar sound signature to what you've liked)? What do you listen to? Closed or open back?   The Oppo...

    LFF's Enigma (new from the maker of the Paradox)

    Mr. Speakers products are made to market on a consumer ready-order basis. LFF is built to order. Added, I believe his new website is relatively young, by months.   Like the other gent said, he'll write back

    LFF's Enigma (new from the maker of the Paradox)

    Luis has been busy with school. Just got into contact with him. Suffice, he does also like one on one conversation, so I assume he is easier to reach via e-mail. Among other things, I was curious in getting a consensus. I've already PMed a few people asking, and i've read through the threads...

    Press Release: Sennheiser launches URBANITE headphones

    So you don't prefer the Urbanite's much at all for their genre's. That is super upsetting, because i'm finding no comfortable closed-back headphones. I was even willing to fork past certain lack of detail for long-term wear. Any other thought's you'd like to add? Are you going to keep them? How...

    Help me optimize my 1k budget

    I cannot answer for IEMs or much for amp/dacs.   Some part of me just recommends getting a, closer to $1000 dollar headphone, and then saving for an amp. There are a lot of good headphone's now in the $500-$1000 dollar range, but maybe not one that will work for all purposes.   As for...

    Press Release: Sennheiser launches URBANITE headphones

    I believe they do use the same driver.   Aside from sound signature, and its seeming bass dominance, I am most concerned about comfort for the XL. Is it a duplicate in comfort (lack of) to the Momentum? In this regard, how is the comfort of it, as a sealed, on-ear can? How long can you wear...

    Press Release: Sennheiser launches URBANITE headphones

    His review is still in progress.   Meanwhile, still waiting for Tyll's review, and anything on Amazon (particularly people not sent the item through their loaner program)

    Press Release: Sennheiser launches URBANITE headphones

    Say more. Did you try the Momentum, over ear? How is the fit, and is it as tight as the Momentum? Would you be willing to measure the inside of the cup, for comparison to the Momentum? Also, could you include more on the sound signature? Several of us are voracious for more XL reviews.

    Is there such thing as a perfect headphone?

    No such thing as perfect headphone, but there is a perfect setup.

    PS1000 Impressions Thread

    I am thankful for the time you've taken in answering my question. (And read your thoughts on the PS1000 to the e.     I know anything above the Prestige series provides a much different fit. Does the fit between the RS1 and PS1000 vary much though? I am particularly thinking about the seal...
