SR325is

Grado 325is with Jumbo pads. Makes them so much more comfortable and laid back compared to bowls or flats. Also just picked up Koss KPH40s and some Yaxi pads and they are certainly hitting that 'just put on music and chill' vibe as well.

grado sr325, grado is the best for rock and metal

Sent my Maxwells back as well. They have a problem where the volume is too low on some headsets. Support try and gaslight you into thinking the problem is your ears. Not fussed with a mic so have settled mainly on my Grado SR325 with the pads from that Polish guy that makes custom ones.

I bought a Boss IR-2 for similar reasons: protecting my wife's sanity and our baby's sleep. I use an IR-2 with a pair of Grado SR 325s with Dekoni over-the-ear earpads for my late evening/night playing. I tried and returned several studio monitor headphones in the $200-$500+ from Sennheiser, Akg, and Beyerdynamic: they all sounded fine (some great), but they were all too uncomfortable for long term wear and aggravated my jaw and ear joint (I have TMJD). The Grados aren't the most neutral headphones - the studio monitors I tried were all more accurate than the Grados, but the Grados still sound good and are comfortable. I'm playing guitar in my living room/office to unwind, not mixing and producing an album. I guess the point I'm making is to not discount comfort.

Never enough mate. I was at that stage if not more plus again in materials and bits to finish of making the headphones. So I sold every single headphone I owned then went out and purchased an Audeze MM-100.has planer drivers,and this set of cans really can shift music in the most astonishing way.it just sings. I also purchased a WiiM pro plus a Cambridge audio dacmagic 200 and lucky me got a musical fidelity twin tube which had a huge power supple.unfortunately the guy doesn’t trade any more,but there was a little business called rock grotto.he had upgrade or do it’s your self kits. The kits ranged from £60 to about £200 including very nice tubes,diodes umm loafs of very well matched gear.warm it up and your of. If bought planer headphones in between,no they get sold and I still carry on with my Audeze. Well I couldn’t resist a grado PS500 going on FB for £175 and a 325 for I think it was £150 immaculate. Well I would have to say,it’s rude not to have one grado hiding in a cupboard some where. Good luck man and carry on collecting and most of all just melt away with the music in to those grados Cya
