for real life use

because they're so open

grados are made in brooklyn ny so they're bad

just like timberlands 😉

and you only need on ears for compact outdoor use and open back negates that

i think open air is a bad meme

i guess if youre going for a pleasant stroll in a quiet neighborhood and want to hear if youre about to be shanked

open air is vastly superior

*want to hear the multiculturalism

kek

personally I prefer over the ear but I have an on the air pair for outside use.

Holy shit

i don't trust my ears but in my unprofessional opinion there's not much of a difference with open air besides allowing everyone around you to hear your bad music

That guy is too kawaii

*ear

>Ducke headphones

open air gives a much better soundstage and less congested sound

since less reflection

though yeah using them outdoors is pretty pointless

theyre better for home use

apparently people replace grado drivers with PCX100 drivers

might be intersting to try and make a more bassy grado

http://gradolabs.com/company I wonder if they give tours

if you admit that you just like the aesthetic of grados, I agree

i like that oldschool look

feels like a hypemachine

yeah they look fucking mint

they're like the headphone equivalent of http://www.brooksengland.com/en_us/heritage; a heritage brand that lives and dies by aesthetics

but there's a lot of science they're ignoring

and newer materials

i'd love to go around skateboarding with an icecream in one hand, a walkman in the other, and wearing grados

gotta get new headphones

especially while wearing some ugly ass hawaiian shirt

the mdr7506 are 98 yuro, those are prolly the cheapest solid headphones out there

and khaki cargo shorts

7506 are only good for monitoring

anything else and youre wasting money

theyre uncomfortable as fuck too

get XPT-100's

actually neutral and actually comfortable

can't you just change out the earpads
