Thinking about buying new Grado Headphones

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

My first "decent" headphones were Grado R2e (modded with Beautiful Audio cups and headband), after listening through the entire series of Grado headphones at the time (around 6 years ago). I went for Grado because of a whole lot of news stories about them. Then got some Dan Clark Ether2 (around 2K), and OMG the difference! The Grados are ear-piercingly shrill even on a tube headphone amp (Woo WA2SE with upgraded tubes) in comparison. I would strongly recommend to listen to something outside the Grado universe before buying anything. I also have some tinnitus, and obviously I noticed loads of differences.

Oberoniaomnia. Good advice. Thank you. I will
