Who here uses headphones to any significant extent?
What kind do you have and how do you like them.
I have two sets.
Grado SR-125-
Great sound for the money, sadistically uncomfortable. Plus, at 32 ohm, they are somewhat incompatible with my Bottlehead amp. Sound nice with my McIntosh and Luxman equipment but the bass is loose and sloppy with the OTL BH Crack. At any rate, I have written Grado and told them that I, for one, would love to upgrade and go with Grado, if their headphones
didn't possess comfort features designed by the Grand Inquisitor.
Beyerdynamic DT880-
Glorious comfort, highly refined sound, but also twice the price of the Grados.
The only fault I find sound-wise is the bass is a tad lean. The Bottlehead drives them beautifully. It has been suggested that I upgrade to the Sennheiser HD650, if I want deeper bass with more body. But.......$500?
