I have these equipment (and my ratings of how much i enjoy them):   Sony MDR-V6 - 8/10 Grado SR60 w/HD414 reverse quarter mod - 6.5/10 Koss KSC75 - 9/10 (obviously not as good as SR60, MDR-V6, but the value just amazes me) NuForce uDAC - i haven't A/B tested, but i honestly...

Hello fellow members of Head-fi.   This topic probably doesn't entirely belong in this sub-forum, but I found creating one topic asking everything more useful than spamming other sub-forums aswell.   So, first of all, let me tell you I'm a complete noob considering high-end audio. Until...

Hello all, this is my first post on head-fi.org so sorry if I lack of precision and sorry for my bad english (I'm an Italiano guy).   I'm going to have a total audio hardware upgrade and the first step to it is the choiche of the headphones. In these years i just owned a crappy pair of...

What would be the best way to clean the SR60i pads? It's the stock 'comfies'. Would the good old soap and water be fine, or do I need to do anything else?   Also, slightly off topic, but I didn't want to start a new topic on it, how comfortable are the L-Pads compared to the stock ones?

  Ok, so the cable on my SR-60's broke at the Y joint for the third time recently, and I decided that instead of sending them in, I'd try to recable them myself. I've read some of the guides here on the forum, and I think I should be ok. I have no experience with soldering, but Grados should...

Hi there, I want to buy a good pair of full-sized headphones and I saw those two are in the same price range. Which one is better? My priority is comfort. My ears are quite large and prominent, so they tend to be sore after being pressed by a tight headphone for a few minutes.   Moreover...

Having in the last 3 months bought a new pair of behind-the-neck on-ear headphones (ok-ish, poorly built but decent sounding Sennheisers. A part of the band actually split, though the sound wasn't affected and the issue is remedied with a combo of superglue to prevent further breakage and black...

So I'm planning on getting a grado to keep in my collection for good.   So now I have a dilemma and to those who have all 3 please help me out!   I've been browsing the SR60i mod thread since I''m excited to mod headphones since I got my t50rps a few weeks ago!   MY question is if I...

Hello, I recently got some etymonic mc5 headphones.  They seem very well built which is a huge plus but they sound a little flat, especially when compared to my grado sr60s with senn 414 pads.  I realize we are comparing apples and oranges to some extent, but am I just hearing (and enjoying)...

title says it all.     hope somebody will help

Hello Head-Fi!   [Rant]   I've been a frequent reader of head-fi for maybe 6 months now, and I'll have you know that I've been kind to my wallet. As a college music major on a budget I've been keen about spending my money -- did I mention I was a music major? a performance major?!  ...

Hello Everyone!   I have no experience in audio gear of any kind whatsoever, but i have been doing alot of research lately and decided to buy some new equipment. I have still not decided whether to go for in-ear or open back or closed back but am hoping you guys can help me out.  ...

I already own the ath-m50s and triple 10s (love them both, and very happy with both), and I want to try out a pair of Grados mainly to see what the fuss is about...I'm a huge rock fan, and supposedly they are one of the best......Is there much noticeable difference between the 60s and...

Hi everyone, I just ended up getting a new pair of Grado SR-60i's (love what I've heard with them so far,) but I actually have a question regarding the pads. What exactly do the bowl pads (L-Cushion) change from the standard pads (S-Cushions?) I'm mostly using these for Gaming and Music, and...

Hi Guys. Got myself a Grado SR60i. I'm just wondering what path to take first to further enhance this set of cans. Here's my options as of now: Option 1: Buy Portable Amp(Arrow or JDS Labs cmoyBB/c421, etc..) Option 2: Buy Woodies from Marty(+Liberated) What do you think guys is the best in...

I owned a pair of these a few months and loved the sound running them mostly off my MacBook Pro laptop, but after an hour or so they got really itchy. Other than that I thought they were very comfortable.  I know there are a thousand and one posts here about these and other Grados, but I admit...

I've been wanting to purchase some entry level headphones because I feel that they would give me a better listening experience (right now I'm using some Panasonic in-ear isolation buds). My budget is under $80, and from all the research I have done it seems that the Grado SR60i's are very...

First some basic info before we start,   I'm going to use the headphone's with my iPod, Pc and cd player without the use of an external amp. The music i'm going to listen to the most is:   Rock/Classic Rock Jazz/Blues Classical   So i'm looking into the Grado SR60i headphones...

What do you guys think of those four headphones? In no way do i need to monitor or edit music, i just want a set that i will enjoy with music, games, and movies.  i listen to a wide range from bassy dub step to high classical music. i'd like to think im pretty neutral when it comes to prefering...

I have a little dilemma here.   I was planning on picking up a uDac2, but you know most of the time your shopping around you looking at other things and I happen to stumble onto the SR60i's.   I know they're good headphones   But I have a PC360 headset, based off the HD595, same...

 Hello guys and girls, I'm new here, and don't know much about headphones beyond the basics. So can anybody enlighten me on why in most of the reviews I've read, the Grado SR60i is regarded as a bass light headphone?   I went out and bought a pair of SR60i's last week as both my...

I'm looking for gaming headphones. I'm thinking about getting a pair of Samson SR850 because many people say that they have a wider soundstage and are much more comfortable (which is good for gaming) but I have also heard that they have abrasive highs?

Hi , sorry for asking very simple question : I am considering to buy Grado SR60i for use on my iPhone and HTC phone. They have mini jacks . Can you please tell me if I can directly use these headphones with iPhone , or do I need an adapter ? If I have to use an adapter , I rather not buy SR60i ...

I like a variety of music with symphonic metal (and metal in general...) high on the list.  I'm looking forward to seeing how the Grados perform and wanted to get some suggestions for songs that would show them off well.  I've got a decent collection and am subscribed to MOG in case there is...
