WTT for RooR

[HighGrade]

Does anyone have an extra RooR laying around? If so Please read on!

I am looking for someone that would like to trade a piece of Audiophile Headphones for a RooR.

I am offering a Like new pair of Grado SR325i headphones with box. Serial Number 8052.

http://www.gradolabs.com/product_pages/sr325.htm

These headphones are amazing and if you have listened to sub-par headphones that come with portables, or best buy type phones you will be absolutely blown away with sound quality and reproduction. These headphones are valued at $299.99


I have a rep on Head-Fi.org, the worlds best source on Audiophile equipment and I can take some pictures to show the shape of the items as well.

I took some hits out of my buddy's RooR the other day and I was amazed. Although I don't normally spend that type of money on Glass, I do on audio equipment so I think this is a fair trade!


I appreciate all interest and offers

Whats up?

It's always good to see Head-Fi members on other forums. Knowing that you have some Grados I'm sure you can vouch for me that these headphones are truly quality.

Thanks for the reply .

Damn I checked out the site cause this is my first time hearing about Grado Im definitely into heady products in all aspects of my life including music. Now is there a difference between these and noise canceling headphones or any other headphones?

First, check out this link circumaural vs supra-aural Headphones

Absolutely there is major differences.

The materials used in these headphones compared to $50 Sennheiser (IMHO the best phones for $50 are Sennheiser PX100) is like comparing a KIA to a 2009 BMW M7.

They are exactly the opposite of Closed ear Headphones and therefore allow the sound to Fully resonate.

"All Grado headphones have a vented diaphragm design that incorporates a large air chamber. This design concept lowers the frequency resonance (distortion) of the diaphragm and extends bass response. The diaphragm is made of a low mass polymer, carefully formed to broaden resonant modes to reduce their amplitude. The diaphragm mass is determined with the compliance of the suspension in mind so that the desired low frequency resonance is achieved. The diaphragm's total mass is calculated to provide a full 20 KHZ bandwidth, while avoiding break-up at lower frequencies."


"The Reference Series RS1 and RS2 along with the Prestige Series SR325's, SR225's and SR125's feature voice-coils that are wound from ultra-high purity, long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper. The copper is slowly drawn through the die in extremely small increments and is annealed following each drawing operation. Ultra-high conductivity copper yields the clearest transmission and lowest coloration possible. The sound of UHPLC copper is smoother, cleaner and more dynamic. All use very high power neodymium magnets to provide maximum efficiency and better sound. Each headphone driver is made to Grado's high standards, then pair-matched for exact imaging. The RS1's, RS2's and SR325's also utilize UHPLC copper in the connecting cable.
All metal work for the SR325 is machined from a special non-resonant, very hard alloy. Grado utilizes a special processing method to increase the material's porosity. This complex treatment insures that the earphone chamber has no "ringing" which might obscure detail or add coloration.



Technical refinements for Grado drivers include improved diaphragm and voice coil design for increased bass response and a larger perceived sound stage. A unique process to "de-stress" the diaphragm results in enhanced inner detail. An increased ability to control driver resonance virtually eliminates distortion. For all models, an improved headband spring will afford greater comfort for the majority of listeners.


AND THE SOUND?
Grado headphones can reproduce as natural a soundstage from stereo recordings and provide as much listening pleasure as a good pair of speakers do. Grado headphones are free of room effects and placement problems, and they minimize any interference from external noise. They also offer portability and the ability to listen without worrying about the neighbors. With Grado headphones, you will hear recordings with greater clarity and with deeper bass than others! Grado headphones are the antithesis of mass production, as each Grado headphone is hand-assembled and closely scrutinized to meet full performance specifications in the U.S.A."


Hope this Helps!
