Need to agree with everyone on this one: go with the 325i if you can afford it. I had the SR-125's for awhile, and they are a great headphone. But the 325i's are just better all around. It does everything the 125's do, but better. The detail is amazing. The 125's just can't resolve on the...

You mention "No IEM", but how do you feel about earbuds? The Yuin PK1/PK2/PK3's get alot of good reviews. In fact, I have just ordered some pk2's for the office. You may also consider the Denon AH-D1000. I believe they are supra-aural, so are not too large, and have been highly regarded. A...

Do your PK-1's leak much sound to the outside world, the way open phones do? That is, would wearing PK-1's in a quiet office environment be OK, or would they bother people nearby?

Well, I have the 325i's, and they are far better than the 60's, although I consider the 60's to be great (best in price class kind of thing). I am a little concerned, though, by your comment about the RS-2's sounding "bright". If that's the case, you may really dislike the 325i's. To me, the...

I'm a Grado user at home (325i), and I am currently using some Sennheiser HD-201's in the office. They are VERY inexpensive. Around 20 to 25 bucks in the US. I find their performance very impressive for their price. In fact, I am really enjoying them. I found myself using them at home last night...

Does anyone know of a brick-and-mortar store in New York that sells the Yuin PK1 or PK2 earbuds? I will be there next week, and was hoping to pick some up. If not, I'll just order them online when I get back. :-)

Hi, everyone. Number 5704 here. Brand new pair. I had the 125's for quite awhile, then jumped to the GS1000's. I didn't like those at all (WAY too much bass and recessed mids, a presentation I didn't like at all). When I returned the 1000's, I decided to go to a local dealer and listen to the...
