Comments about Grado GR8 In-Ear Stereo Headphones:
I am a huge fan of the Etymotic ER4p's but have alway been looking for a set of IEC phones with a bit more warmth. I've tried the Shure SE530s and Westone 3s but found them both to be boxy and muddy for my tastes. The GR8's are really a great set of earphones if you appreciate the clarity of the Etymotic sound but have always wanted them to have a bit more heft in the lower registers. Ex: for classical music they have the transparency and shimmer of the ER4's but add more weight to the lower registers of the cello, piano and bass. They trump the Shure and Westone in low end clarity (for my ears). I found that those earphones were heavier sounding (better for electronic music) but lacked air around acoustic instruments... they just had a visceral boom.• The only downsides are as follows:• They would be a phenomenal value at[$] not[$] They don't come with a carrying case • They are not as isolating as any of the above mentioned earphones. (Maybe I can find a pair of Comply tips that will fit the GR8's nozzle.)
