Headphones? Anyone?

Send it back to Grado...they'll repair it for less than you think

Another vote for AKG...k240 are an incredible value...reason these have been a studio standard for decades...I have also owned Grados...prefer the speaker like 3d imaging of Akg....sennheiser sound is too dark and mellow for my tastes...however some prefer this

My preference is Audio Technica, I find their phones to be a good middle of the road choice for all kinds of music.

Actually I think if you send your headphones back to Grado you get them fixed for free.
And if you like your Grados You may want to step up further in line to 225s or a different model.

Thanks all, this is not quite the ghost town it was a while back.
Not planning on dumping the Grados, but planned to get something new to try for a change. Just didnt think I would need them so soon. My first were Senn 414s, my first paycheck, first job about 1975! Haven't listened to phones that much through the years.
Definition of frustration: listening to several phone at Sam Ash, all playing from the same source simultaneously, all sounding the same. Useless.
Well, I pulled the trigger on a set that was the last brand I expected -KRK KNS-8400. Found them so cheap I will still be looking to try others. Decided to try recent closed backs.
The ATH's are beautiful, MS2s a little out of budget (what about the MS1?)... had already searched the Fischers and could not find a seller. Considered Beyer, AKGs, Senns, HifiMan, Shure... just too much to sift through. Turns out 1/2 price helps!
Thanks for the tips on my Grados and the recommendations.
Might post quick impressionson the KRKs here.
