Thinking about buying new Grado Headphones

SOIX. OBERONIAOMNIA   Have done on-line purchases for $$$$.  As long as it’s a reputable seller. And I still deal with two vendors in DC area who will ship product. I will look at HIMAN and others in my price range.  You’ve convinced me.  And of course, compatible with my HP Amp.  Thanks again

I use in ear Grados wired .....I think they're great..   Knew Joe Grado personally

Stringreen. Thanks. Prefer over ear for listening on my system. First HPs were KOSS Pro4A’s then Pro4AA’s.  Grados ever since, but I’m willing to try others.  And this will probably be last pair purchased.

If you are open to the 2nd hand market I would look at the original Meze Empyrean. Beautiful headphones and most people seem to agree they are way more comfortable than Grado. Original price was $3000 but they can be had for well under $2000 these days. Which is similar in price the the GS3000X you mentioned. Meze moved on the Empyrean II so the original is a great value now.

Tubeguy80. Thanks for the recommendation. I’m not opposed to 2nd hand and will look into it. But if I’m not satisfied and purchase from an individual, I’ll have to make sure I can return them. Something to consider
