Made me a Grado Fan

 

I had a hard time deciding between this and the RS1i. Ended up taking a risk with PS500, and I\'m happy to say that I don\'t have to look back. Both PS500 and RS1i sounds great and are easy to drive (while RS1i is definitely more colored and maybe...

bought it as a mixing tool

 

OK.. so I purchased these headphones to mix my music. I have (for the most part) honest studio monitors, but my room has VERY poor acoustics, so purchasing the ps-500s was a desperate attempt to have an accurate reference.

Greatest dynamic headphones

Best headphones I've heard.

 

The nice thing about Grado Headphones is that you can change out the earpads and essentially have two completely different sounding headphones in one. If I want more detail, I'll use the bowl pads which came with the ps500's, and for more relaxed...

Grado PS500 Review

 

The PS500 are more efficient (louder) by several dBs and are more balanced top-to-bottom than the SR325is. There is deeper, more extended bass and greater dynamic range. The PS500 are less fatiguing and have a smoother upper midrange/lower treble. They...
