Tape. A bunch of tape. I repair a th900 with tape

You're capped at 256 kbps AAC-LC. iOS does not support anything other than SBC and AAC-LC

And the Hola's cable is actually good enough to use.

How do the cushions on the X3 compare to the X2?

Maybe it depends what subgenre of metal

Nice! Waiting for mine currently (black)

How would these compare to KZ ZS10 PROs?

My SR80 were stolen from me ten years ago by a drug addict friend from HS. He came in to use the washroom, took a little long and when he left my pills and headphones were gone =(

I used the SR80 for every genre and even tried mixing with them which they were terrible for.

I used to press them to my head to get more bass (I even wore grass cutting ear protection over them to squeeze to my head, my poor elf ears) and when I did they were almost excellent. Whereas other boomy cheap headphones had boominess what they didn't have was control and authority down to 20hz. I want a new headphone to have the same clarity effect where in first listen you're like alright, what the fuuuuck. They sounded like a purity, like hearing an angels voice. Since I've never heard anything as good I look at each other headphone and think they can't be as good unless a higher Grado 😂.

One song that comes to mind is floyds hey you. That guitar intro just rang into my brain with such a metallic, clear and separated twang, I could taste the strings. Really made school bus rides enjoyable. I also lost 135lbs by biking with them. I put toilet paper under the pads to catch the sweat and had the cable stretching out from a backpack. I probably looked like a time-travelling radio operator ghost buster. I'll look at the PM3 but I am kinda sold on Grado already.

imagine buying the Zeros and getting a pair of Chu's

This is so cool

I feel the same about the HD560s too, especially coming from a DT 770 pro ohms : it was a very nice introduction to audiophile headphones but too sibilant for my ears and gets hot quick being a closed back . I prefer the HD560s in nearly every aspect from sound to comfort.

They need to be checking constantly if the audio is on and if the levels are OK. They often push a mute button when their mom calls and then forget that they're muted, so instead of making a silent stream, they can hear their voice missing and fix it. They're live mixing stuff like music, game sound, their own voice and other sound effects, so they need to make sure that they're all at the right volume.

Basically headphones are the same thing like looking at the screen. That's why we call them monitors. You can't use speakers for that because the microphone picks them and it makes feedback.

If you want to stream but don't want to have big headphones, you can still use in ear monitors like musicians do on stage.

Plan to bundle these with my modded KSC75 builds. I’ll put a listing on r/avexchange soon.

Ya definitely don't buy the GW that's just a batshit crazy product. So I take it you're looking for an all-rounder right? Because you only have the Grados now so I'm guessing whatever else you get needs to be well rounded? I really think you should check out the PM3 you know.. The more I think about it I think you're really not going to be disappointed with those and if you factor everything in they're cost effective, punch above their price, and are a really truly decent and very well made headphone. You should listen to them. They scratch that planar itch very well. Inarguably superior to 400SE IMO (at 3x the price mind you)

A bit more colored, obviously

On my budget, no, and I trust Grado enough to throw money at them. I've got $200 ATM and another $200 will take another month. I started looking at headphones like 8 months ago and bought cheap Marley IEMs for the time being. I had $500 for the 325x and it slowly dwindled into groceries. I'm not sure if my phone even has BT 5.0.

Plan to bundle these with my modded KSC75 builds. I’ll put a listing on r/avexchange soon. We’ll see how it goes.

If there are good and affordable options, it's always a good idea to support local (or close-by) products and manufacturers.

Those are perfect descriptions. The GW was made just to fit in lol.

One thing I do really want to stress is that the fun of collecting headphones is in the differences and getting to the point where you decide "These are for pop" "These are for techno" "These are for jazz" and you have a good rotation going. If you get any other grado below their "premium" line it's just going to be a slightly better version of the same. It will obsolete your current grados so you never use them again. Wouldn't it be more fun to buy something that was totally different and sounded totally different to add some variety to your life? Just saying.

True, this would be lost on younger generations.

Different species. Dynamic driver vs planar magnetic. Still a downgrade to 560s, for sure. Yet 560 don't fall apart like this. I would just repair the Sundara. Cheaper than another headphone.

Ya Grado is a strange company... All you have to do is look at their headphones. They look like they sound awful, but they don't sound awful. Very strange indeed. The 325 can best be described like this:

SR 60: YesSR 80: Yes, and then someSR 125: Even more Gradoey goodnessSR 225: Gradoey goodness with graveySR 325: Extra tasty crispy Gradoey goodness, and they painted it silver so it looks more expensive.

Every step you take up from the SR 60 just sounds like a better SR60 all the way up to the 325. Again, Grado is frickin weird. I don't know of any other company that has 5 of the same headphone, literally, looks and all, where each step up is just (It's like the cheaper one, but with peanuts).

So, if you got the 325, your reaction, almost guaranteed would be "This is better". Not, "This is different" or "ooh I like XYZ"... just "This is Grado-er than the other Grado"

I WILL say that, if the GW100 is the wireless grado, that's a stupid product if I ever saw a stupid product. Bluetooth- so highly mobile... and open back? So "Take them on the subway train and annoy absolutely everyone with your k-pop"? I don't get it.
