I wish I hadn’t have discounted iems, since I now use them much more than my over ears, even when I’m at home. I also wish I had have had a better understanding of the type of sound signature I preferred, would have saved myself a lot of time and money. That being said, I did enjoy the journey itself to finding my end game 🙂
That Grado was sub bass anemic back in 2005 when all I listened to was rap.
I mixed rap beats on them for my car that had a 2 18" wall. Boy it was loud.
