    Dear Grado and all people in production!
    I love you all and my new Grado SR80e so much. I hear now things i never new they were in songs. sound clear, they so light. I use them for gaming also and they deliver. Cant believe I found out about Grado Labs just couple of weeks ago.
    Thanks again!

    Back in the day- that is the turntable day. Grado became known as THE phono cartridge line to buy. For a very little money the Grado F1+ at 50 bucks blew the pants off of any $200 cartridge. The Grado Signature line was the cartridge to have at the end of any audiophile's tonearm and couldn't be beat at any price.
    John Grado's Uncle Joe was a Metropolitan Opera singer and couldn't find any decent cartridges out there. He became a self taught engineer and beat them all. Now it is the headphone to beat. They don't need advertising, they have always been good enough to sell themselves.

    I've bought Grado 80s/60s for my wife, family members and friends as gifts over the years and I even have a couple of spares that I've purchased just to play around with modifying (pads/single cables). I know the very thin headband can be uncomfortable so here's a tip: Buy a head cushion meant for a Beyerdynamic DT770, it fits the Grados perfectly! Happy listening, and keep doing your thing, Grado!

    I have a pair of the SR 80e's and I must say, for 100 dollars they are great in quality. I've had Sennheisers that cost more, I've tried in store those dreaded overpriced Beats, and many others. Grado has the most clarity of any headphone I've tried. What's better is they're all handmade and quality control is very tight. I hope to make in a year or so another Grado purchase.

      theses headphones are something else. They are a different animal. The young guys that work in the factory would have their input to. These guys ain't mucking about they all into sound. mate when you buy just buy the most expensive ones you can they all sound amazing. but u will get an itch to think jeese if these sound this good I wander what the really expensive ones sound like. I got the sr60 about 80 quid they sound better then senheiser 400 quid headphones to me. I heard all headphones these are the best

      I am very picky bro. I have alot of premium audio equipment. I been into it from the age of 12 36 now and I heard loads of gear. home hifi, portables and cars (my fave). These grados sound very musical. you can hear music sound like music that's the difference for me between when considering what's best. trumpet sound like trumpets etc. very natural sound very British sound for an American brand which is a good thing. I wouldn't buy anything else. car amp genesis best in world home amp Audiolab and headphones grado.

  • @QuartBernstein311
    @QuartBernstein311 9 років тому +1

    Grado, if you're listening:
    Your e series cables are too thick, the RS1e is completely botched and bloated, the ps500e flakes too easy, only the SR series should use the 3.5mm cable. Some of the universal e changes have helped certain headphones (325) and hurt many others by making the sound signature toned down and bass heavier.
    Thank you.

There is a Grado fanboy club now that experiments and shares ways of customizing their already amazing sounding headphones. I have changed out my ear pads for red and want to get up the nerve to do the cable mod. There is such a wonderful culture around these headphones and now I see the humble product focused company behind them! Thank you for all that you do to provide fantastic sound for the everyday man! and as you said in the video, I will keep spreading the Grado gospel !!

    I appreciate that the ear pads are designed for the sound you wish to deliver, but PLEASE make them more comfortable. Secondly, while I love the sound from your chosen cables, making them detachable would be far more convenient when storing/displaying the headphones, and better when a shorter run of cable is needed. Love you guys and want to continue supporting you ❤

I upgraded the stock cushions to the larger ones to be able to enjoy the headphones. I think they need to improve the comfort seriously esp when you are buying the higher priced models. Why would you buy a gs1000e when it has the same headband as the sr80 at ten times the cost? The sound quality will be better but what's the use if the headphones are uncomfortable?

      Proud owner of a pair. Best bang for the buck. But being open cans, it is not suitable for all listening environments.

    I'm bored cause they always mention about the Grado "happy family" had a fruit store etc , good they're a happy family but actually i don't care and (as a grado fan) didn't bought all my grado 'phones & cartridges caused of that.
    I will really appreaciate if they'll show us and talk about how the build the hi-end cartidges & headphones, how they make / retip the styli and other more important things than the family story!
    They also (almost) don't mention the founder Joseph Grado ,the one who tought John all the secrets and hold all the paterns that grado company is proud for!

    I own the grado rs1i headphones. I like them quite allot but i wish these had a bit more bass and a wider sound stage. These really are for serious listening sessions. Every thing about this pair of headphones screams delicate luxury and should be treated as such. These are NOT good for office listening or playing video games. They are not your subway phones either nor should they be thrown in a back pack and carred off to high school. The best way to listen with these is in a comfortable chair in a quite place; eyes closed.

      Very bad sound, have you ever heard any Bose headphones/earphones? Worst purchase in my life was their in ear model IE2 (same sound as MIE2, SoundSport, SoundTrue etc.). Only good model of theirs is that flagship with noise cancellation, but it's good only if you need noise cancellation, sound isn't that great as well.
      Very highly commercialized company that makes very overpriced crap, similar to Beats audio.
      Good companies are: Fitear, FAD, JPS, GM, Shure, Audeze, Sennheiser, Stax, Grado, ATH, Sony, Unique Melody, Jerry Harvey Audio, Noble/Heir Audio, Ultimate Ears, Phonak Audeo etc.
      Not Bose, Beats (Monster), Harman/Kardon, those are crap ones.

    • @cardindex5657

    • @NiohNiohYT
      @NiohNiohYT 9 років тому

      Zachary Veteto You don't have much experience with headphones then... Bose are very bad sounding headphones, huge bloat in mid bass and virtually no sub at all.
      Those noise cancellation are the only thing useful they have in their range because it really does cancel noise, other models are disaster... But they are highly advertised and they are in like every store around the world, so that's why they are popular.
      Check out those companies I mentioned, JPS and Stax cost over 5000$ but there are some cheaper there, like Shure, Senn, few models from Grado, Sony and as you said yourself Audio Technica make good value.
      Bose are really bad in opinion of anyone who heard a lot of headphones.

      Right, so many people praise grado but there’s much better headphones for the price with better sound quality and build quality,
      If your looking for a good set of headphones for under a hun’id I’d recommend Phillips shp 9500 or 9600, I’d even recommend the at m40x before I’d recommend grados

    You really need to try before you buy, Grado have a very distinct sound. Background, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD650's, Momentums, Fostex t50rp, Sony Mdr-V6. When I heard the Grado GS1000i, I thought was this a prank? how can a sub $1000 headphones sound sooo bad, no depth, harsh and thin like a radio from the 60's. This video is great, I'm sure these guys are lovely, but they make terrible headphones.
