Man I’m lost. I wasn’t trying to get anywhere. Just seeing how f pads compared to l pads on my RS2e. Now I need some tubes because it’s a Grado? Hell, it’s 2024 and my iPhone dongle kills it with my Grados. Just saying.

Decided to try flats on my RS2e’s. Definitely a stronger bass response. I personally find the bass just as defined as with bowls. Also, I’m not hearing any change to the mids and the highs are definitely not less, just a little more round from the increased bass. Verdict is still out.

Grado RS2e in excellent condition. Open to discuss trades on other Grado headphones, Hemps, 325x, etc.

I just want to say I didn’t expect a big difference, but these RS2e cans are exceptionally better than the SR325e. Midrange is still in full force but such a smoother and present treble and the bass doesn’t seem less, but more real and really holding it down for lack of better words. Those X...

Will also include a Turbulent Labs leather headband in mist.

Grado SR325is in Chrome. Had red back e drivers and the cable is terminated to 3.5mm. Comes with 1/4” adapter. Functions perfectly. Some lettering wearing off with age. Open to trades as well.

The RS2e arrived. Time to compare a bit.

I’ve had the 60x, 80x, 125x and currently use a pair of chrome 325is with e drivers as my daily driver. On Thursday I’ll take possession of a brown headband RS2e and man I am excited to see what the wood is all about.

Okay, I use an SR325is with e drivers as my daily drivers. I’ve heard the whole Prestige X line. Why is there so much talk about the 325 melting your eardrums with its brightness? Yeah, it’s bright and clear, like all the others. I don’t see the cups adding harsh brightness, just way better bass...

A question for the professionals around there. I use my iPhone and a dongle as my source. I’m currently using my sr325is with e drivers. I definitely find a difference from my previous sr125x cans. Does upgrading make any sense without upgrading source and/or amp also?

New headband!

Fair enough. Thank you for the advice.

It’s more the lack of serial number that is the most concerning.

So, I’m still a little on the fence on the chrome SR325is cans I bought. Like I’ve said they clearly have the red e drivers and the e cable with 3.5mm termination, but they stopped making chrome around July of 2011 with the e series coming out years later. Never thought to check, but I now did...

So, I’m finding the e drivers in my 325is to absolutely not be harsh in the treble. Maybe age and hearing loss. I’ve never owned 325’s before and I’ve read so much about harsh treble. I’d say the treble is smooth and balanced, maybe also the increased bass response is helping? I find this cans...

They are the red drivers released while the e series was being faded in without the e on the button.

I just bought a strange pair of SR325is. They are a pair of Chromes that have obviously been repaired at some point as they are fitted with the thicker and shorter cable with a 3.5mm plug and they have e drivers.

Officially a member, kind of… I have a strange pair. I just bought a pair of Chromes that have obviously been repaired at some point as they are fitted with the thicker and shorter cable with a 3.5mm plug and they have e drivers.

Yeah. I’m sorry. That’s what I meant. I thought these models only came with the 1/4” plug is my question.

I am wondering if these are legit. Seems to have a 3.5mm plug and 1/8” adapter. Thought these ones came with an 1/8” plug. Any thoughts

My amazing SR125X with leather headband. Aluminum blocks and Yaxi pads. Cant stay from jazz with these babies.

So… I ended up buying a pair of SR125X. Put on a leather headband (way more comfy) and slapped on L cushions. Absolutely blowing my SR80’s out of the water. Way more balanced and bass is punchier and more present. More space and the midrange is glorious. Guitars and vocals just sound right. Man...

First off, hello everyone. I’ve been reading for a while and just joined today. I have a specific question and thought it a good time to officially join the community. I currently am using a pair of Grado SR80X and I love them! I can afford to buy a pair of SR125X and keep the 80’s as a...
