This isn't a new discover for me but I would like to point it out to those who do not know that not all the comfie pads are the same. I have comfie pads that originally came with the grado sr325 purchased in 1995 and the comfie pads are by far better than the ones today. It is a thin comfie pad...

If you have a grado with worn lettering, buy the metallic silver sharpie. I am very happy with the results          

Had to get my hands on the UM2 and now that I have that and the Westone 2 I compared them. Intro: I must say the UM2 sounds better than the UM3x which I sold shortly after few months. In short; it sounds more articulate,airy and more expansive. The UM3x sounded too bloated,closed in and...

  Looks like it's officially announced today http://investor.sandisk.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=86495&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1599819&highlight= http://www.sandisk.com/products/sansa-music-and-video-players/sandisk-sansa-clip-zip-mp3-player   Some reviews...

Got these today! Thought I might share some pictures for now as I listen to them more before writing a mini review. These have gold lettering and has black anodized aluminum cups; they are about 17 years old from the receipt. My first impression is that I finally understand why some people love...

Owners of both,   which one do you believe is best at electric guitars? The SR325i(s) is the only prestige series headphone I have never owned so I'm curious.

Does anyone know when Grado changed from this       to this?  

      Recently I got a pair of grado SR60 with no box from ebay in superb condition;the seller does not know much about headphones so he couldn't give me additional information. The price was amazing so I took the plunge. I was more amazed when I realized what I received was not just...

I have the Grado SR125 FR graph from your site as well as the new SR125i FR graph that has been recently put up , undoubtedly shows some change in the sound signature. The SR125i as far as I know, is the only new FR graph while all the other models such as the SR60i,SR225i,SR325i etc still use...

I initially bought these for my workplace a year ago to occasionally listen to voice recordings and probably had about 10 hours on them at most but don't work there anymore so I finally brought them home to listen to music with it. The first thing I thought was, is the HD25 that much better than...

I briefly owned a RS1i and it sounds very different from my RS1 2003. The RS1i in fact sound so different that I'm afraid that if someone heard it, they would believe that it is the representation of the grado sound when it is definitely not. It's not a small difference, and I don't understand...

Why are triple flanges white to begin with? They just end up looking all nasty and turn yellow from ear wax after a few weeks of usage. Does anyone know where I can find black ones? I am looking to use them for my Westone 2 so anything that works for Shure should work for Westone too.

I bought a headphone amplifier that has RCA loop out but is not a preamp. I'm looking for a basic preamp that takes in a pair of RCA inputs and outputs with a nice volume knob. The RCA input to the preamp will be from the loop out of the headphone amplifier and the RCA output of the preamp will...

I just received the Music Series Pro i, improved version with the thick cable and round rod (older versions have the thinner cable and square rod)   On a brief listen, I can clearly make out the differences. They are very obvious, I'm 100% sure that I would be able to pass a blind test with...

I know it says 3-5 business days for Express Mail but I'd like to know how from your personal experiences how long it has taken. I'm expecting a package and it has already been 5 days, the tracking information was not updated for 4 days. I've had USPS Priority mail arrive from California in...

I've been expecting a package and the product I bought off someone is not that big (100m x 100m x 29mm) so I am thinking he shipped it in a usps priority envelope. I know flat rate envelopes cannot be tracked. My question is if someone created a shipping label online shipping using usps priority...

I finally got around to getting a new pair of bowls, I think my existing bowls were 2 years old because I'm not the first owner of my RS1. I honestly expected not much sound change because there's still bowls but I was wrong. The new bowls are smaller. I'm not sure if there are any physical...

I am curious to know how often the pads need changing from regular use. I think my bowl pads are about a year and a half old at least. The inner edges look thinner but I can't say for sure unless I were to buy new bowls and compare. How old are your bowl pads and how would you rate the condiion?

Nevermind, decided to post in FS forums

Once in a while I like to do a reality check with my DAC compared to something else because sometimes I generally accept expensive gear being better without really testing. However, I am always willing to save money.   Today I chose to compare my $449 Nuforce HDP's DAC against my Zune HD +...

I have been debating for a very long time whether I should upgrade the cable on my RS1. I have been doing some reading and it seems like many people say it isn't worth awhile to upgrade the cable on a grado. Is there anyone out there that has been able to compare a APS v3 cable against the stock...

I bought a pair of RS1 long time ago for a very good price and kept them in my closet but I didn't really use them until today ( I have two pairs of RS1).I noticed the screening part that touches the ear is a little clogged up with sweat I believe which is nasty. I could poke holes with a sewing...

I'm going to keep things as short as I can. I believe every buyer has the right to be suspicious of a seller due to even a slight lack of communication. I bought an item from someone here on February 6th after he sent my pictures of the item with his name written next to it on a tag and...

I bought a pair of used Grado RS-1 last week and noticed the cable is very stiff above the Y split. On both left and right sides, the cable has hardened and does not flex much at all. I have had the SR225 and I have not experienced the cable hardening but then again I have only owned the SR225...
