    Is it worth the $ . . .

    Thinking about a set of Grado SR125x. From what I've heard about them, I think I'd really like the sound signature. However, I noticed Grados don't have removable cables. I'm pretty darn rough on cables. Just how fragile are connectors? Is the fragility of cables and connectors overexagerrated...

I own an Hifiman Arya V2 with a Litz balanced cable, a Grado RS2e, and the newly arrived Grado GS1000i which I've read wonders about. The GS1000i is indeed a great headphone, but A/B testing it...

    Grado gw100x noise bleed

    Hey so, I've narrowed down my search a bit but I was wondering if the Grado gw100x still have bad noise bleed like the gw100? It's okay if it has some noise bleed but I really was hoping to be able to use these headphones in an environment like a library. Any advice is appreciated!

    Grado SR325X or RS1X

    Hello all, I am seeking advice from members regarding my planned next headphone purchase. I am considering the Grado SR325X and the RS1X. I am a fan of the open Grado sound, having owned a pair of original SR80s for over 20 years. I listen to most music now through Tidal Masters via an...

    Closed over-ear headphones Ultrasone Edition 9, Signature Pro and Signature Master - the vintage experts

    It was in 2008 when, after the good test of the Ultrasone Edition 9 in Stereoplay, I received a pair from my trusted dealer together with the headphone amplifier C.E.C. HD53 to test at home. Although I already had a rather warm and sonorous playing CD player with the Trigon Recall I at that...

    New Grado's? Looking for an upgrade!

    Hi all, Been a while since I've been on the forums. I have a pair of Gen1 LCD-2's and a first run Cavalli Liquid Carbon which I love thanks to the advise I got here. But now I'm looking to upgrade my old Grado SR225e's. Since headphones.com doesn't carry many Grado's and I don't believe any...

    Grado 325i vs 325x, and earpads

    Hello. VERY infrequent poster here. Not really an "expert," but I do love good-sounding music. I found some old headphones that I hadn't worn in years, An old SR80 and SR325i. I was thinking of getting them repaired by a Grado-certified technician, since they both are in dire need of repairs...

    RS2e Driver 'Quick Fix'?

    Hi, Head-Fi! First time poster, here. I recently picked up a pair of used RS2e's for a really good price, with the caveat that the left driver is a bit messed up. It really can only reproduce the very upper end of the mids and treble. The lower spectrum is completely absent. I've determined...

    Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphone Connectors and Using Grado Extension Cable

    Hello, I have two related questions: 1. So I just ordered a Sennheiser HD 6XX from Drop. In some instances, I’m going to need to use an extension cable with them, so I’m looking at the one from Grado. However, the Grado cable is meant for a 1/4” connector, meaning I’d have to use the 1/8” to...

    Any worthy competitors to Grado SR80x in that price range?

    Any worthy competitors to Grado SR80x in that price range? I have the SR60i now and also would like to know if the SR80x is worth upgrading to, or if they'll sound quite similar in terms of raw SQ. The source would be a laptop headphone jack - not sure if a DAC/amp is worth it for something this...

    Grado SR-325 Custom Build ( w/ freq response change? )

    Finished product detachable cable mod ( pretty much the only stock part left on these is the drivers from the SR-325s. I did some baseline measurements of the original 325 pair using grado style foam pads and a post mod test with the same pads. I noted a distinct shift in frequency response...

    GRADO sr325e + integrated amp: DAC or not?

    Hello, I'm finally the owner of a pair of GRADO sr325e, which I use to drive with my PC, connected to an old Harman/Kardon HK6300. I'm generally happy with the sound, but I'm wondering whether I should buy an external DAC (like a Schiit Modi or iFi ZEN) to gain more detail. I'm not quite sure...
