Dang lol. We'll see if I like the hd25 :P. If not, I guess next is grado 325 ( If i can get more money). You see the way I roll, is, I keep headphones for like a week and if they don't fulfill my audio nirvana needs, I sell em for something else :P. Idk about the HD25, the 325i is a lot more expensive (More than I have). What exactly makes the HD25 better for rock?

HD25 is a fun sounding headphone, bright, fast, also lot of details, very aggressive (not in the bad way), good punchy bass, but not the Grado touch.

I vote for the SR225is.  I found the SR325is too bright (this coming from someone who really enjoys the Grado sound).  I didn't give them enough time to break in, so you might want to take that into consideration.  When I tested them, I liked the 325>HD25>V-moda M80.

I still prefer my SR80i with bowl pads over all three though.

Jeez so many choices. I am just going to go with the HD25. I have read lots of reviews etc. I dont know why the guy above like the Sr80 better, but if I got those I could save $100 haha, I don't know....

I really should have waited to decide what I wanted before I posted the listing.

I don't think you'll be unhappy.  I did enjoy the hd-25's very much and found them to have a "fun" sound.  My main probelem was that the mids seemed a little bit recessed for me which for my musical tastes was a deal breaker     Again, it might be that I'm just too used to the Grado sound.

Do you think I should have gone for the SR80i instead?
