recstar24 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Thread crap warning. Though I would really like to hear this new monster, a part of me is way more interested and curious in hearing the senn's HD800. All of Grado's stuff to me seems more like variations on a theme, albeit quite good to amazing sounding variations, whereas the hd800 is at minimum a step in a completely new direction in driver tech, construction, and sound (possibly). And if we haven't already figured it out with cars, ze Germans sure know how to make a quality product vs. the American counterparts. Man I feel kind of dirty saying that since I am pretty much a grado guy, but that's how I feel.
HiWire Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 How does this affect the Alessandro Music Series?
morphsci Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 How does this affect the Alessandro Music Series? MS-1i, MS-2is and MS-Proi
mypasswordis Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 MS-1i, MS-2is and MS-Proi :rofl:
postjack Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I predict the 800 will conquer all.
guzziguy Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I predict the 800 will conquer all. I predict that as usually happens, some people will prefer the HD800 and some people the PS-1000 and neither side will understand the other.
purk Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Do we know whether the PS-1000 will sport a new driver design?
Dusty Chalk Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I predict that a lot of people will make predictions, and that after all is said and done, those people will claim to have predicted correctly. Including me, I will cite this post when I am proven correct.
aardvark baguette Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I predict MOTs rebranding them with their own spaghetti/salmon mousse/taramasalata headphone wire. I predict people pointing and laughing. I predict closed threads. I predict 70% humidity, partly cloudy with a chance of rain.

Ah, the never ending debate between grado vs. sennheiser. However, if the HD800 does indeed have a more lively, dynamic sound, it might cause a shift towards one side. Do we know whether the PS-1000 will sport a new driver design? I am sure it is tweaked differently but a completely new driver design is probably unlikely. Zanth would be the one to ask, but he is probably tight lipped since its not released into the wild yet. The gs-1000 drivers look exactly the same as every other grado driver, but they do sound dramatically different, specifically in the bass region. Only exception of course are the hp1000 drivers but last time I talked to Joe he is the sole proprietor of those drivers.
falkon Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Audio quality aside, I think it's a good move for grado to redesign their low end. I see many a student around campus with SR60's but I know they get shit from other people about how ugly they are. This isn't exactly a fix but it's a good step forward. Hopefully it'll entice more people to finally take the dive.
grawk Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I'm pretty sure they still look like grado post changes.

I would personally find it weird, but then...I guess I'd comment on someone wearing headphones I thought were showy in nature w/ no focus on sound quality.
soloz2 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I've worn Grados around campus, comments always were positive. 'retro' came up a lot.
Voltron Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I get really weird looks and comments when I hang around campus in my Grados, but I'm 45 and don't go to or work at a school.

Voltron Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Are you speaking for yourself, or your avatar ? Can you even imagine him walking around in headphones at a high school? The Perv Squad would take him out immediately.
guzziguy Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Can you even imagine him walking around in headphones at a high school? The Perv Squad would take him out immediately. Why? He would just be trying to sell the headphones to the students.
Voltron Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 While they run screaming in the other direction.
manaox2 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 He is all about passing the torch and bringing young people into this hobby. That method might have been be more successful then the meet.
