I don't have the 225's but their predecessor, the 200. I gather from the comments that there is some similarity. I love my 200s. The midrange is some of the most neutral (accurate) in headfidom.
Overall, I prefer my AKG-K501s for neutrality and accuracy. Their mids are pretty much as accurate and they are better in the extremes (highs and lows) than the SR-200's. The problem with the 501s is that they need the best in amplifiers to bring out their best, otherwise they may tend to underwhelm you.
Originally posted by cello kwkarth, so you were saying that the sr-225s are that much better? Perhaps I should take a look at those. I really do love the grado sound, it just simply hurts my ears. edit - kuma, your puppy (is that yours?) is adorable |
