I don't think its possible to blind test these phones...I would be able to ID them by weight alone (disregarding that little tidbit however, the 'blind' test would only be conclusive with the control set of blind testing the entire range of Grados and being able to distinguish between each). As for why the difference between different accounts, thats the nature of being subjective. Its funny how Grado claims the SR325i as improved and cites the new molding as one reason, but claims no difference with MS2i's yet it also has been remolded. But in anycase I do find it annoying when people hear based on whats heard in the grapevine wheter good or bad or the same.
My subjective impression of the SR-325i were that they were a little better than the SR-325, but still obviously John Grado fare and rather heavy and uncomfortable. It was all too brief since I've already parted ways with it
.
In anycase its interesting since Grado claims an improvement on the SR-325i over the SR-325, and people were expecting the same for the MS2i, I wonder how they all rank up in the end.
