These are the SR80i, haven't yet compared them to it's newer brothers.

Yeah, isn't it weird that there's no on/off switch on the Modi?

Grados sound very good without an amp and they certainly can get very loud unamped because of their sensitivity. With an amp, the sound is improved - more full with better bass, at least to my ears.

Back in the days of the original SR60, SR80, and SR125 (before they introduced the i, e, and x iteration), the prevailing wisdom on head-fi.org was that only the SR60 was decent unamped, and that an amp was needed to unlock the sound quality from the SR80 and SR125 (as well as the even higher-end models).

Enjoy your amped Grados!

I was listening to some music in the dark (it is a weird way to unwind but hey) and thought the red glow from the Mangi Heresy had a stranger things vibe to it. Took a picture using Google Night Sight and it came out all right. Hope everyone is having a good closing ceremony to their weekend!
