If bought KOSS from ALL-IT, just bring back to them and they will settle the warranty. As long as ALL-IT still exist, dont have to worry about it

It's a clip-ons. ALL-IT has it for RM110. Picture you can ask mr.google.

Once you put them on your ears u won't be able to see 'em.
If you wear specs, then u should go for PX100. Else I'm pretty sure you will be happy with KSC75.

Make sure you really try it out before you get any grados. I'm sick with its bowl pads and the vinyl headband. I like the sound though.

Same things happened to Grado cans. They are cheap looking, they give cheap feeling...but it's definitely not a junk as Sichiri said

Even local mooncake packaging are 2-3 times better than grado's. The plastic material on grado is something you can find from those cheapskate plastic toys, but solid. The finishing is a big let down if you look at the build inch by inch.

Most of my friends who know nothing about grado thought I was crazy paying RM8xx for HF-1. I must agree that judged by the grado-look it should be priced not more than RM100. But grado cans teach us not to judge a book by its cover...

Once these cans are on their head, they were quite amazed by the sound it produced. The sound quality even on par with Sennheiser cans for the same price range. So it's not surprised that Senn vs Grado topics have been greatly discussed in head-fi forum til now.

Personally I like the retro Grado design. IMO retro is the trend that fashion industry is die for nowadays. Watch Madonna Hung up MTV and you will have a good picture of how old skool looks like.

No, I'm not a Grado fanboy . In fact, my HF-1 is in the FS forum and should be gone very soon.

No way you're listening to HD650 unamped. It's way underpowered to drive by your mp3 player.
I haven't tried 650s, but I did auditioning to HD600 which I lent from medufsaid, twice already . And it sounds crappy direct from iPod headphone out. Even with prodigy7.1 built in amp also not enough juice to drive the 600s.
But they shined when listening with my 'benchmark rig' - Sony mini hifi headphone out. Really a night and day difference if you got what I mean.

Same thing happens on my hf-1, after amped still not much difference. Perhaps it will benefit from a dedicated amp? Which will be about the same price(or more!) as the phones and the improvement is about 10-15%?

Hope there is another KL's head-fi meet soon...

Yup, limited run on 450units. With John Grado siggy on the pizzabox. Woodies housing, silver grille and new driver(rumour?). Too bad I nvr listened to any grados myself b4 I bought it. Can do a comparo if there is a meet. I saw a sr-225 in mikechai audiophile meet last time...not sure whose sr-225.

You mean you covered the screen of the earcup? Don't...it's open cans. The way u did defeats the purpose of the cans. I must agreed it leaks a lot...if you want to get the best sounding, listen to it in quiet environment.

No that won't harm your cans. You can even cover the whole cans with cloth during break-in, just to reduce the noise when you are not listen to it.

I heard alamak said grado has the smallest soundstage of all mid end headphones...even my ksc75 is more airy than hf-1

ROFL, dude I think this phenomenon is very common in LYN. But I don't mind reading informative post rather than your 'out of topic la' post which is meaningless(Oh well it's a friendly reminder anyway...). Sorry no offence to anyone, take it or leave it.

Back to topic. UE phones...was wondering if I want to get UE 10 Pro, do I have to request for audiologist from US to 'measure' my ears?
