hi airbag_grado,
care to explain more? i mean why wouldn't i like the hd555? how about the hd 595? or the hd 650 (davis is giving 3 terms installment for this)
and ermm... how different is the grado, comparing it to the akg... since you are/were the owner of grados and akgs.
thanks load
From my experience, is better you got 2 sound signature different cans to complement each other. Hd555 is mid way to hd650/701 group. Quite high chance you will use more often the more superior one IMO.So once you buy 701/650...hmmmm..
Grado sound is more attacking and up front. I try the sr225, is really fun.Soon your legs start to tap into the miusic after a while listening.
I still not no so involving use 701 to listen pop/dance. But when i play classical pieces, the layering,detail and surround feel of 701 smoke away sr60 in seconds. As you can feel the soundstage have width,height and depth. Sr60 or most grado lack of this.
hd650 i heard before with zu some more. Quite like too.
