Just ordered JT7, arrival Sat. How much different than my Grado SR80 that I'm replacing?
I'll be using them over analogue portable headphone amp: Topping NX1S – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073SSPCSY
from a few years back, for now.
Powered by either:
my laptop over 3.5 mm
iPhone Air with USB-C to 3.5 mm OEM dongle
Samsung Galaxy A13 5G over 3.5 mm
My Grado were the 3rd pair in the last 2 decades and had already underwent repair that was unfortunately done by a shop that used very strong adhesive that I cannot seem to weaken with a hair dryer to make a wiring/solder repair. Opted to try this well regarded model and brand as they're $55 cheaper than new Grados and I was eager to try out electrostatic cans.
I listen to primarily rock/pop, (Beatles and Pink Floyd,) EDM/Techno, (The Prodigy, Aphex Twin, Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim,) Jazz, Blues and World music such as Quantic, (Curao album,) Eva Cassidy, B.B. King, Jamie Cullum, Nina Simone, also Rap/Hip-Hop and Trip-Hop, (Ye, Kendrick, Kid Cudi, DJ Quik, MF DOOM, Massive Attack, Tricky and Portishead.) I don't need a lot of bass and I like detail, a lot, and great soundstage.
