Hi,     I've been looking into upgrading my headphones and I've settled on the Alessandro MS 2's. Or so I thought, until l read somewhere (can't remember where) that they are a bit less "open" sounding than the Grado SR325i's. Which is exacly what I'm looking for. The problem? Every Grado...

Hey guys, this is my first post here, but I've been around Head-Fi for a while as a lurker, researcher, etc.  I know most of you will hate this thread since the two headphones that I'm gonna mention are damned around here, but here goes anyway haha.   I've tried and purchased many headphones...

Hi,    I've read enough reviews & cant decide which one would be better. I listen to wide range of genres but mainly edm, rock, metal, trance.   Any suggestions are welcome! 

So...a simple question.  What are the most fun headphones that you've ever heard? By fun I mean, they made you dance, they made you feel the music, they were just very engaging, alive and...fun. :P   Mention any headphones, regardless of price, size, type, sound signature, etc....and give a...

Lets see, I first bought an MS-1 after joining Head-Fi, and was instantly struck by how wonderful they sounded. I moved along to the MS-2i, and again was amazed at the sound. The bug had hit, and it was a very painfull sting, because I went out and got an RS-1. Fantastic, just a musical...

Hey guys,   So I was reminiscing on my old sr125i's that I had modified with wooden cups (that I've since sold), and I'm really thinking that I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger and get some new wooden cups to put on my 325i's. I'm sort of out of the loop so who/what companies still are...

I've been looking on Grado SR325is for some time now, and I was almost sure I wanted to buy them, but now I'm doubting..... Most people who like grado listen to rock with lots of guitar play... But I listen to rock/pop/punk type of music, my favorite band is Paramore. Please listen to them on...

Hi folks, it's been a while since I've been here. I had been a happy owner of Grado sr325is for a few years. Yes, it's a great set of headphones. It'll give what most of user will seek, great details, dynamics, stunning vocals and mid-range and even some bass, you just can't get fatigued with...

Hello everyone, I have been really interested into getting a DAC/AMP combo to improve the sound expirience on my grado SR80i headphones and possibly other headphones like HD600 and SR325i that i will upgrade in near future. There is not much information about the D42 by iBasso, it looks like its...

Hi everyone! I recieved my Grado SR80i's 4 months ago, these are my first pair of real HiFi headphones, Im loving the grado sound signature. Now I am planning to get a DAC/AMP combo to improve the sound experience. (I mostly listen to 16 bit FLACs) This device has to be good enough to drive...

Hello my fellow Head-Fi friends,   I sent in my Grado SR325i's to Grado Labs in New York about a month ago. The cord had lost contact in the left side of my headphones and I believe there was also an odd rattling noise that had began to plague my headphones (Grado Grattle?). From what I've...

Hope this is in the right area, I'm sure this has been covered before however i could not find it. So here goes   I'm coming from a high end home analog set-up using edgarhorn speakers and set amplification, bi-amped with solid state on the bass. All my source was analog or tubed CD players, I...

...Full, fat, bass that you can feel. When an artist calls for a subwoofer hit, I want to feel it. Like many musicians, the bass guitar for me is a percussion instrument, not just a musical instrument...and without it in sufficient supply, I feel the music has less rhythm, less power, less...

I have never used any of Skullcandy's headphones, but I can't take them seriously with this kind of frequency response..... Tell me something about your experience with Skullcandy. Opinions Welcome!!

So. It's been a fun ride so far. I've tried many different phones, some out of my budget and some within: Koss PortaPro Grado SR-80 Grado SR-225 Grado SR-325i Alessandro MS-1 Alessandro MS-2 Alessandro MS-2i Alessandro MS-Pro Sennheiser EH-2270 Sennheiser HD-580 Sennheiser HD-600...

I am just reading up on amps and dacs that pair well with Grado line of headphones. It seems universal that the Little Dot I+ is the amp to get, however I am not sure if a dac is something I should also buy.    My set up would be Macbook Pro -> amp/dac -> headphones.    I'm not sure I want...

So, I've been looking for a good headphone for work for a while now.  I've gone through several, I brought in my SR325i's, my Meier Corda Aria Amplifier, and I loved it, but it took up too much desk space and everyone gave me weird looks.   So back to the drawing board, I had some Yuin PK1's...

I am looking for a new pair of headphones that will be used for gaming (maybe some movies if they prove to be better than AD700). I really like the AD700 but I am starting to get a little bored with them. My only major complaint is the lack of low-end for movies and games. I already have a mic...

Heya,   So I decided to treat myself to a Christmas gift using the spare money I had been given/leftover from gifting, and it rounds to about $450. Basically I'm looking for open-backed headphones around or under the $350 range as I'm willing to wager that headphones around this area are...

Hello - I'm very new to the audiophile headphone world, but I've been enjoying my new Grado SR325i a lot since purchasing it about two weeks ago. I already have a Fiio E07k dac/amp and have been using it, but I was wondering if this pairing was a good fit or is there something else better for...

Hey I've been wondering about alessandro headphones for a while now. Can anyone help me out here? Anything about them, let me know, how they sound, and what are the grado equivilent's? Thanks

Are there any huge differences? I'm kinda thinking of getting the goldies because IMO they look a lot better than the silvers. A few people have told me they're pretty much the same but just want to make sure.

Hello, This is my first post here so forgive me if I appear to be a noob. My music taste is primarily Electro, EDM, Chillout, House, Vocal trance and a bit Symphonic Metal and Classical music.(Some of my favorites are Infected Mushrooms, Moonbeam, Enigma, Emancipator, Eluveitie..) My first...

Hello, As a newbie, I am just seeing if anyone can see a glaring problem with my proposal. I would appreciate any thoughts as I have also considered the Sen.650, and the Grado RS1i. Thank you! Greg

I know that detail isn't the end-all for a headphone, but most likely because of that there seems to be a dearth of information on the comparative levels of detail between some of the nicer headphones. For an example, the HE-400 and HE-500 have both been praised for detail in a mid-fi headphone...
