I think plugging the ports won't solve your problem. Upgrading your amplification might. Head to the next meet justin will be at, and try it with a KGBHSE
The trick is they're almost never put up for sale. I'd buy a set for $30 just ot hear them tho, so I could finally have heard a grado lower in the lineup than the 225.
They don't have the 32gb at costco. I don't know how much the 16gbs are, I only looked at the 8. i kinda lean in the "if it can't hold it all, it may as well be cheap" direction.
you can de-region it with mac the ripper on the mac, and there are programs out to extract audio. But I've not done it, so I can only point you in that direction.
