you guys, i dunno what to do. im officially stepping into "better sound" territory and i dont want to regret my purchase. i have read all over about Grado's amazing sound and i had my heart set on some 225's, but then i read about the 325i's better bass and detail. i have the money for them so i got my heart set on those. personally, the only thing i have owned, and loved (what did i know) are Bose Tri Ports (i know, im in for an awakening, and im beyond...beyoooond ready), i really enjoyed those things. but i knew it could get better because of all their flaws. i enjoyed the PERCEIVED fullness and bass of them although the bloated/messy bass distorted some of the other ranges. and i dont really know where the rest of the ranges were. sometimes the highs cracked (along with the headphones hah).
i was thinking maybe i was a basshead and i do enjoy it, but i think i would prefer it tighter yet still deep. anyway, like i said i had my heart set on some Grado's even though i know they are in another league, i want to try that league because for some reason i feel it will be for me. now, i was very happy having my heart set on the 325i's....UNTIL i found this site, ive been sitting here literally for hours, i read the whole 225 and 325i owner threads in one day, my butt hurts and im less excited and now more hesitant. i know i would enjoy the detail and tight bass. some words i hoped were in here but werent were "rich" "full" and "deep". would any of you describe them as that way just forgot to say =)? i personally cannot get a listen of the 325i's or the 225's in my area or near. i plan on ordering from headroom for the 30 day return possibility.
part of me feels like i may be barking up the wrong tree with Grado... given i like punchy clean deep bass before my love of amazing detail? i just feel lost now and some help would....well, help. also i dont really plan on going any higher than this quality/price range headphone. also in reading, many of you are audiophiles and i thought i was, but im just not quite there, i love love music and sound and listen pretty much all day, literally. and pay close attention to boot. i have no life other than music. that said, i want a good headphone, dynamic, punchy, rich, deep lows, detailed and crisp highs.
i listen to post rock (godspeed you! black emperor, a silver mt. zion) rock (tool, pink floyd, dylan) Pop (tori amos, bjork, madonna) 80's (depeche mode, the cure) anticon (why?, cLOUDDEAD) a lot of indie with mucho guitars, classical, opera. some hip hop.
im sorry that was so long
Thank you in advance!
