I said the same about my pair… until I recently got anticables 6.2 interconnects…

Wow, those look fantastic. I don’t think my system is even worthy!!
Just picked up a pair of GW100 v2 and they sound pretty damn good. The amount of bass in wireless mode is kind of ridiculous for a Grado almost a bit too much. Though they’re not as open sounding compared to the prestige series because of whatever dampening they’re using. I found them to be more open sounding when wired. I rewatched Zeo’s review of these and didn’t find the wired mode to be murder cans at all. They’re quite pleasant but then again i’m not sensitive to treble. Still waiting on the 325X to show up.

I plan to run them from a better DAC hopefully sometime next year but going from the Bifrost 2 to the Pass Labs HPA-1 I feel a substantial improvement. I thought I’d never need more than the WBC since I’ve been using them since last year but moving up clearly helps.

They are not as open as regular Grados as they have a PCB and battery behind the driver.

Looking like Phil and Lil all grown up and mix together.

I think so

Well, I didn’t actually buy them! I finally received my new headphones for work. These are going to fit the bill nicely and will spare my personal Lagoons.
Audio on these is much better than I thought it would be. Can’t wait to battle test them in the field!

More tubes to try, this time Raytheon. So far still unimpressed with the MT602 and tubes in general, this is my last try at it.

Just got my Burson C3R amp/dac in the mail. Straight up killer! A little bit less bass and slam than my ifi but WAY more detail, texture, width and clean headroom!

So…bought a bunch of stuff in 2019 in US and had it sent to that residency…and it’s been sitting there until last month when I said fuck it…customs be damned I want my shit…half of which I’ve moved on from and will be selling the other half I’ll be keeping - see ZMF cap, cables, MLP, TUBES!!! IER-Z1Rs and the rest will be making some very audio based holiday gifts.

I had to follow up and provide a brief report. These things are excellent. Comfort is very good, not great. I did have a little pain in the right ear after about 2 hours, but I was able to reposition them for a better fit, so overall they can be worn all day without problem. They are built like a tank, so no worries about hurting them in the field for sure. As it turns out they could not have arrived at at a better time. I was exposed for prolonged periods of time to noise levels in excess of 104 db and they performed incredibly well.
So you have this incredible noise cancelling ability… and now add the feature of 2-way comms. And bluetooth! These are a winner.
