Looking for opinions and comparisions of this brand. Just recently heard about them. Anyone use these and which series?
Thanks Andy

I have had a pair of the Grado 125's for a couple of years and they are the best I have heard for referencing mixes. They are very open air, so would not work too well for tracking anything acoustic. But I love them in the control room Image.

How would these work (sound)?
Pre-amp/Headphone amp/Steel and Grado Headphones?

Also C6th and E9th what is the Freq range, and would this affect the sound etc.
Thanks Andy

Should sound great--they are very hi-fi, but also amazingly accurate for headphones. They have great low end response without being hyped.
