I know full well the SR-60i is better than the iGrados. What I want to know, is of the iGrado is a big enough improvement over the Koss Porta Pro to warrant buying the iGrado before I get the SR-60i, or should I just go straight to the SR-60i.

Here's to all the people who want to try out all the mid/higher range headphones before you buy them, and live in the Manhattan / New York area  And here we go! :   AC Gears are #1 if you want to try out your headphones before buying them. They have a great selection, and their prices are...

I'm looking for something portable that sounds great for Metal/Thrash/Punk Rock. The SR60i's sound absolutely amazing but are kind of annoying to take out because of the long cord. I was thinking of the Portapros because they are cheap and supposedly sound good. Are the mids as forward as they...

I can get the SR60i new for $80,but for some reason I can only find he SR80i's for $150+ new. Usually the SR80i is $100 new but for some reason that's not the case right now. These are amazon prices,the only place I will buy so dont recommend me look anywhere else. I know the differences,etc...

not asking what you think the *best* headphones are, whatever that means - just your personal favourite headphones that you look back on most fondly. this could be the pair that has wowed you the most over the years, or the pair that introduced you to the world of audiophilia, or even just a...

Hello all! I am sixteen years old and would really like to get involved in better sound. I don't know much right now, but I do pride myself on being a musician and really enjoy listening to music. I think I'm ready to learn. I do, however, have a small problem: I am not yet employed. I did...

After looking at this list http://www.head-fi.org/t/433318/shootout-108-portable-headphones-reviewed-denon-dn-hp1000-added-09-07-13   And like 3 weeks+ of other research, I just honestly can't decide anymore.   I listen to mainly soft rock, rock, and pop. +some gaming and watching movies...

Is there a proper way to burn in headphones? Is it okay if I just play bass heavy music like Dubstep for 50+ hours and the sound will improve as I'm listening to music or is it better to play some kind of app/video/website that plays white noise or pink noise?

So about a year-and-a-half ago I made a thread asking for cheap headphones recommendations. In the end, I went with the JVC HA-RX700. I'm thinking of getting something better for the holidays this year. Unfortunately, I don't know what to get.   Here's some background info: I really like...

Hi all New guy here. I just acquired a new Digital Piano and the built in speaker is a bit loud for the neighbors and wife. I have been going back and forth between crappy airline earbuds with an adapter and my old David Clark H10-13.4's. The X11's stay at work so I haven't tried those out...

Anyone replaced their LCD-2 with another headphones and is happy to make this decision? Why?

I am not sure what I am looking for other my price is around $50-$80. I don't mind if they are open or closed, but there are two problems. first is I live in southeast asia which get's really hot during the day, so i'm guessing I'm looking for some headphones with velour earpads, but they don't...

So, I usually take my Ultrasone Pro 900 everywhere with me and some of my friends have been really impressed with the sound. They have been pretty open about upgrading from their apple earbuds/$10 headphones, but most of them aren't ready or care enough yet to purchase $150+ cans. I wanted to...

Looking at the graph below it seems, with the exception of that spike around 8500Hz, they are relatively similar.   They both drop off in the upper treble but they are quite alike with a slight nod going toward the HD600 for maintaining slightly more upper treble.   Question: How...

Hello, head-fi people!   I'm stuck with the same old question - Shure SRH440 or Grado SR60i. My main concern is that I wear glasses all the time and I'm not truly sure about these headphones ergonomics. Mostly I listen to 70's rock (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc.), blues rock (B.B. King, John...
