    Default Grado Headphones.

    Grado makes some rather interesting headphones, and I heavily have a soft spot for them. They treat your ears to an open clean window along with a prominent midrange. This makes well recorded music sound alive and damned communicative.

    Steve's video is interesting. Must say I do agree with him.

    Don't worry chaps I'm not bloody shilling for the brand!

    I bought a pair of SR60's secondhand and at a good price and I like them a lot. An unforced sound, but it is all there and they do not make your ears sweat!
    Buy Bose...And get your parking validated!.

    Nice headphones the 60's. Even better value secondhand.

    One of my most memorable audio experiences is hearing Grado GS1000 'phones at a show maybe 30-40 years ago..
    My jaw literally dropped.
    Shockingly open and vivid, I'd not heard owt like that before.

    Since then I've owned 325i and enjoyed them a lot, especially with earpads designed for the 1000 series.
    Very open-backed, though, the missus complained and I sold them on.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    GS1000's didn't exist 30 years ago. Or are you exaggerating?
