Thinking about buying new Grado Headphones


Hi. Looking for advice. I’ve been using Grado SR 225 headphones forever. Thinking about an upgrade I’ll be using Bryston BP-19 to feed Bryston BHA-1. Music source is Bryston BCD-3 or Rega P5 TT. Max spend is approx $2000.

Buy them from some place you can return easily for a full refund if needed. The newest Grado headphones actually sound real nice to my ears, and I'm someone who hasn't like a lot of the Grado designs over the past decade or more. But I will freely admit that Grados aren't as comfortable as many other headphones, and the sound is sort of polarizing. 

V-fi. Thanks for the advice.  Haven’t done anything yet.  Will probably go direct to Grado run store on-line to buy. Thinking about GS3000x or GS1000x. Their new HP model is a little out of my price range.  Othe two are a stretch!  And I’m also dealing tinnitus and wonder if it’s really worth the $$$$. But that’s another issue

Why not invest in addressing tinnitus with a qualified professional?  Moderately priced headphones will sound good, as a result.  This my experience with Grado SR125 and Widex 440 hearing aids.

Sgordon1. Thanks for the response.  Actually, there’s nothing that can be done for tinnitus at this time.  I’ve been tested.  I currently use Grado SR225 HPs and started thinking about an upgrade,  But wondered if my mild tinnitus would prohibit any increased benefit in enjoyment with an upgrade
