Headphones? I could use your experience/thoughts.

Like the Grados, too. I have the 60 and the 80. Too bad about the pads and foam, though. Jeez o flip! Was Joe Grado deaf? Solution: Deep six the pads and foam AND THE GRILLS. Twice as good!

Mr. Grado died in 2015

Joe Grado was hardly deaf.....he sang for the Met in NY. ....he also drove around in a Lambo.....couldn’t miss him in Westfield, NJ.

To the original question.....I strongly recommend getting a dedicated headphone amp for your purchase. All too often the headphone out on recievers et al is just an afterthought.

oops, I wrote this already....

Thanks for the responses.  I missed where any post said he was deaf.  But he did die in 2015.

I would get Grado SR225, $100 more but much better, this is Grado's best value, after that you jump straight to $700 RS-1. Yeah, headphone amp too, there are some for about $100.
