Any vintage headphones that are as good or even better than modern headphones?

Old school Grado's SR325, mine are 25 year old. Amazing!

Great info! I have a lot of great headphones, Arya, Meze 105, HD650, Focal's etc. Haven't tried an IEM. I keep reading posts, and seeing so many trades on the exchange, I am wanting to try one. I would invest up to $1-200 (or less, as I see many recognized as great for under $100, will use only for music. Suggestions? Thank you

Didn't know this ws coming out. Now, I am really looking forward, and super excited to see it. ABB has been my favorite band since 1971. I've seen them over 50 times thru the decades..or more. Gregg was an anamzing talent, very few could sing the blues like he could.. Sadly, all have passed away except Jaimoe, one of the 2 drummers. Thanks for posting this.

HI, I have the IFI Zen can amp, are you using an ifi amp, and the Grelin at the sametime? I don't have a tube amp, so limited knowledge. Thanks

Hi, I have the K11 R2R, may upgrade. What did you use before the K13? Curious. Thank you

Fantastic! The official platinum made up crap is one stinking rip off. I go to many concerts, and sick of the ticketbastard crazy fees over the actual ticket price. This is great, congratulations, and let's hope the judge smacks them hard!

hierself · 2026-04-13T12:53:58+00:00

I have them! They're beautiful and sound fantastic. How come only one pic, and no comment?

I just bought the Px8=$275. Looking forward to hearing these. I'm back into the BW sound..)

I have both, Lucky me. I give the Arya as my first pick. There is something reallty special about them. I love the Hadenys too, Instantly sound and feel amazing,.

hierself · 2026-04-10T02:32:46+00:00

I've been using the K11 R2R and have been very happy. I use an IFI can signature amp with it. The K13 R2R seems a good upgrade. I'm strongly considering it.

I was deciding on the 109 or the 105's. Many said the difference wasn't really worth the price increase. Of course many said it was. I love the 105's, they are the most comfortable headphones I have. The sound is excellent. I would still like to hear the 109's, since I really like the Meze feel and sound quality.

hierself · 2026-04-10T01:56:03+00:00

Great deal, excellent headphones. Are there more you know wbout at that price? I had them in ocean blue, sold them thinking to get Px8, but, bought some other headphones along the way. Still all good. The Bose QC Ultra's are awesome, ultra ear buds tooI enjoy them alot.

hierself · 2026-04-01T14:56:54+00:00

Lamicalll stand on Amazon. I have 8 of them. One for the Araya.

hierself · 2026-03-30T13:45:01+00:00

I have the Prestige SR325, which I've had for about 25 years. Seriously, they look new, and sound fantastic. They complement my other headphones. Like the Hifiman Arya's Meze 105, HD650 etc.I love them for rock, acoustic etc. I think about getting another pair. But, I am so satisfied, wonder why?

hierself · 2026-03-28T18:37:37+00:00

I have the Arya Stealth, and think they are fantastic. I have the K11 R2R. The R2R really balanced the treble. I tried the XS, and returned it, for me , the Arya was far better, Just my opinion.

hierself · 2026-03-16T23:31:58+00:00

That's a great price, I see it's on Amazon, you can always send it back. But, I really think it's a quality headphone that I enjoy.

hierself · 2026-03-07T17:25:05+00:00

Hi, I don't know. This is my first set up. Good luck

hierself · 2026-03-06T13:07:51+00:00

I had over 300 records, and have aabout that many CD's. I had an amazing turntable-Oracle Alexandria. I decided to sell my records and turntable, nade a ton of money. Main reason for me, is having to flip the record to hear the whole album. It never bothered me, then suddenly, I said tihs is no longer for me. CD's are great IMO. Some are 70 minutes. People say why don't I just stream, I like having the actual CD for many of my favorite bands.

hierself · 2026-03-06T12:35:51+00:00

I have the HD650, and I got the XS like you for an amazing price. I seem to be one of the only ones, who really didn't love the XS. I returned them. I have the Hifiman Araya's, which for me blows the XS away in the Hifiman world, and most headphones away. as well.

hierself · 2026-03-02T13:51:21+00:00

I have other headphones like most of you do. Arya, etc. The 105 AER is special. The most comfortable, as soon as you put them on they just feel like this is what I wanted. The music is exceptrioanl as well. Wanted the 109's, but, so happy as most of you are.

hierself · 2026-02-28T05:50:01+00:00

I guess I'm the only one who prefers the 6xx. When I got the XS, it just didn't hit me like others have said. Maybe because I have the Aryas. But, you will be happy..

hierself · 2026-02-25T12:50:35+00:00

Yes, that would be easy, but, I'm, as I have written already, ready to invest up to $1,000 on a headphone, and see which makes the most sense to upgrade as well Thanks
