Re: Tech Talk | Phones, Computers & Empty Wallets

By Kibner Go To PostHave you ever tried an open-back pair of headphones? I keep mentioning them, but I love my Grados. Have had two pairs last me for going on ten years now.

Any over-ear open backs earphones that you think are good?

I have only used a couple different pairs of Grados, but they do me well. Keep in mind they don't have thumping bass. Their strength is being tight, articulate, and clean at just about every frequency. The soundstage is like listening to a live band at a small bar. They also don't need an amp to sound good. Of course, they (and like every headphone) sounds even better with an amp.

The SR-80 has a much stronger bass than the SR-60. Higher models are just smaller improvements overall.

Ah, I see they use the plug. I need Bluetooth headphones (I have an iphone 7 plus).

I got no idea, then. I haven't looked at bluetooth headphones almost ever, sorry. :(

I do know that you want to be on the lookout for headphones that support one of the more recent bluetooth specs as it greatly increases audio quality.

I'll just get the SR-80s and use the audio jack converter. Thanks.

Just keep in mind that you may not be entirely happy with a Grado if you are a bass head. It's the one thing I have to point out.

E; it plays the bass clearly and it is easy to hear, it just doesn't "thump", ya know?
