Hey Guys,
I am here to simply be maybe the odd guy out throwing in my 2 cents. For me the SR325i's are simply amazing. Maybe im not the best person on the subject as I have not had the budget to buy better but honestly I cant imagine anything better. People always say the 325's are harsh and hard to listen to, but I have had mine for many a year now (8 or so) and think the same as I have always thought... they are awesome, amazing, fantastic and wonderful. As for shrill I just don't get it. They do pronounce the bright hyperactive quality but shrill is hardly a word id use to describe their sound. Instead I would use lively and engaging (isn't that a good thing?). As for depth, when bass lines hit, I find them to be EXTREMELY deep. Deeper than any set i've ever tried before or since. What I like most of all is it seems they not only go super deep, but they also prove to hold it together crisp and clean and not at all flappy. I remember when got the grados I was using some high end Bose headphones I had gotten... obviously there was little to compare quality wise, but I do remember the bass being both lower (deeper), louder and more clean by miles than the Bose. I remember how distinctive the high's were even when the bass was deep and low simultaneously. The bose would seemingly shatter whatever hi's were happening while the bass was hitting.
I like to listen to all sorts of music and have never had an unpleasant experience with my Grados. So I guess what I am asking is what do you guys mean by "shrill". Am I missing something? Do my ears not work right? Did everyone here saying they are shrill give them ample time to burn in? I'd love to understand what it is I don't understand because for me, the SR325is are the pinnacle of awesome audio.
Personally I love my SR325i's... Why do people love to hate on em?
=?
