Grado GS1000e

I’ve seen a lot of headphones, but this one catches my eyes. Even if the headphone does not sound good, I would still buy it as a decor for the house. Looks pretty damn awesome I must say! Fortunately, its not the case – says the review all over the net.

I recently acquired SR125 – which is a “plastic can”, it does sound good but hey who said good is good enough :p It does look good too, but there are better headphones out there. I always tell my mates that this headphones business is a black hole, I am just holding by the cliff to avoid dropping into the deepest ocean. Man – the ocean is way too deep. Let’s not talk about the cans, there are also the headphones amps that cost tens of thousands!

The pretty headphone above looks just amazing. After many years, it’ll look even better. The wood would have aged more and give it an old school look. According to the specs:

Transducer Type: Dynamic
Operating Principle: Open Air
Frequency Response: 8 – 35,000 hz
SPL 1mW: 99.8 dB
Normal Impedance: 32 ohms
Driver Matched dB: .05 dB

Compared to my SR125 where its..

Transducer Type: Dynamic
Operating Principle: Open Air
Frequency Response: 20 – 20,000 hz
SPL 1mW: 99.8 dB
Normal Impedance: 32 ohms
Driver Matched dB: .1 dB

Damn there’s a lot of frequency I am missing. Compared to my Shure which is 18Hz – 19,0000Hz… heh heh. damn these headphones will sound better (but who said that I am look at numbers).
