Since you are apparently a fan of the Grado mids and upper frequencies - I'm assuming, then you could easily be pleased by the K167. I've had Grados up, down, left and right, and even now, I can no longer listen to them. I bought the HF-2 that was the special run of Grados used a few months back. I put them up for sale the next day.

Correct. I do not work for AKG, Harman companies, nor any industry affiliated with audio or music what-so-ever. However, I will still stand behind my original statement that I made, which you quoted. Keep in mind, the K167 will not be all things to all people. The K167 headphone is a "fun" headphone. It may not be the right headphone for someone who is looking for a very accurate, flat-ruler frequency headphone. Again, emphasis is on the word "Fun." I not only think that the K167 is worth twice the price of the SR-225i when it comes to performance, but I'll even go further to state that I think it's better, or more "fun" sounding than the Grado RS-1, which sells at $699 (retail.) I've listened to the Allesandro MS-Pro for an extended week of listening, and I've recently heard the Grado RS-1, too. I'm just happy to use my K167s, as well as my HE-400s and my modified Fostex headphones. They all have a purpose in my "big picture."
This is music to my ears. I'm looking for a replacement for my SR225i's due to lack of bass.

According to Mr. wje above that DOES NOT work for AKG, they "double the performance of the SR225i's". It's on the second post, first page.
