Hello everyone! I was wondering if I could get some suggestions. Let me just start off by saying in the past two weeks i have bought and returned several headphones including Ultrasone HFI-580s (liked them but highs were too harsh), Grado 225i (too thin sounding), Sennheiser HD 25-II (too...

I did a search and was amazed I couldn't find an appreciation thread for these amazing cans. Well, let me just say that these are my favorite cans now and are more musical and complete sounding than anything Ive ever had before(check my profile). Plus these guys sound great even out of my ipod...

REVIEW: Grado Statement 1000 Headphones The excitement of a new top-shelf product is rarely without some form of controversy. The sceptics and critics will crawl out of the woodwork to dispute the claims of the “fanboys” and enthusiastic early adopters. When the product is a Grado, at least...

INTRODUCTION: With the resurging interest in the Grado RS2 and the fact that it is one of the few Grado's that I have yet to audition, I decided to get a pair and try it out in my system. I’ve been exhaustively comparing my new Grado RS2 with both my SR225 and Alessandro MS-Pro and would like...

I’m curious as to what sort of impressions those of you that have added wood shells to your Grado’s can share about the sonic improvements you’ve netted.  I’m guessing from the traffic in the SR60-mod thread and the post your Grado mod thread that a fair number of folks got wood.   I’m...

Hey guys! I currently own a iPod Classic 160GB 7th Gen as well as a Algorhythm Solo and a ALO RX MK2. In terms of earphones I have a range of IEMS Westone 3s, 4s, Um3x, ES5 For Headphones I have alessandro Ms Pro With my current rig I find that all my universal IEMs are sounding great...

Hello.   The title of the thread is maybe not the right one,but that the thing i am looking for most.I bought a pair of Sony MDR-V6 and i really love the sound,but i feel them a little bit uncomfortable after hour listening.They "give" me the sound i want and the way i want to hear it,but...

I've been using D2000s since December and a few weeks ago bought the RSA Predator from a fellow head-fier to replace my usb nuforce uDAC2. I've come down with upgraditis and have recently decided that I also need to upgrade my cans to something more suited for prog-rock, post-rock, classic rock...

Is the price fixed? I know we can get RS-1 far below the retail price and I have seen occasionally on ebay brand new RS-1 for only 550 How about the taiwanese alessandro dealer? do they have a better offer?

Hello head-fi friends and mainly Grado fans,    I have sold my Alessandro MS Pro two years ago. Honestly I regret it, I miss that sound ooh a lot. Grado have so charm sound (at least to me) it grow in your heart, quitars, emotion, airy, crisp, quick, sound like wind. I can only wish that...

Hi Guys-   First post, thanks for having me.   I have a set of Grado RS-1s which I use, among other things, for checking rock mixes in the studio.  The famous Grado 2/4/10 khz spikes really make it easy to hear what's going on with all those overdriven guitars.  That being said, those...

I used to be really into DJing and have had a pair of Technics rp-dj1200 that I've used for the past 10 years. I recently decided that if music is so important to me, I should get myself a decent pair of headphones. So after much reading and deliberation, I settled on the Grado 225's. They...

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...

i'm not an audiophile pro  so i can't explain what i'm looking for in the exact technical terms, but i'll try.   I really love the Alessandro Ms1i performance, but i want headphones with more detail now. The Ms1is have great bass and acoustics, but i find that the vocals (mids?) are a bit...

Does anyone know what the Alessandro Music Series Pro are like , and would the Grado RS1 i be the nearest in sound ? Thanks.

I just noticed when doing searches that there seem to be alot of people selling MS2i phones. For awhile it seemed that these were often preferred over most of the Grado line except the much more expensive models along with the HF-2. Have alot of people moved on to other phones from the MS2i?

If we omit the limited editions on that basis that they dont come up in FS very often, I believe that leaves us with :   SR60,SR80,MS1,SR125,SR225,MS2,SR325,RS2,MS-PRO,RS1   All I need now is my own island, access to every track every recorded (losslessly) and I could be happy with...

I'm using ms-pro with ld mk3 I buyed it just 2weeks ago but my ld has balance problem left side is much bigger than right side. so I change gain switch of righ. It becomes much better but it's not perfectly same. How can I solve this problem/   And what's your volume level with your...

So, I've had my HD650 for a few weeks now and am absolutely enamoured by it. I just love the enveloping lushness of its mid-range and the complex layers that can fill up its spacious soundstage. I find its full range extension to be incredibly balanced, providing a transparent window into...

hi guys,   I have searched the forum and can't seem to get a clear answer on this...are there different versions of the Alessandro MS-PROs ?   I am in the process of getting a MS-PRO, so I have been doing a bit of research.  It seems that there is a so called  MS-PROi or the MS-PRO "i"...

Haven't posted in a long while (making the wallpapers for HF was fun) but recently bit the bullet and grabbed the Grado PS1000. After falling in love with the Grado sound, thanks to my 225i's, I couldn't hold back any longer and now I'm in audio bliss. But there's a small problem. Unfortunately...

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...

Hi! At the moment I have MS-1i and AKG K701 phones and I love some parts of them both. But what I'm really looking for is a phone that combines the dynamics and sound signature of MS-1i with the resolution of K701. Guess I could budget some 500usd for it. I'm not that in to soundstages and...

Is  the "Grado coloration" artificially enhancing detail? Or Is the detail presentation of the Ultrasone Pro2500 just more correct.    

I've seen comparisons between the pre i versions but would like to know if anyone has compared them since they switched to the i's?
