You will really enjoy them. Make sure to let them break in (or get used to them) for a little, they sound a little bass-shy out of the box.

edit: Oh yeah, and x4 on the "px100's are nothing compared to grados" comment..

Having owned a few different lower-priced cans (under $100) and a set of higher-priced IEM's ($500); I can tell you it was a total shock when I tried my first pair of Grado's (SR 125). They outperformed everything I had before. I sold them, and moved up to the 225. After living almost 2 years with my SR 225, I love their sound so much that I'm hard pressed to justify spending more on cans right now. I don't feel I'm even realizing their full potential with my present sources, and amplification. Which is why I'm hanging on to mine for quite sometime. I want to at least upgrade my source first (new USB DAC is on my birthday-present list

). I hope you enjoy yours, when you finally get them. As others have said; be patient with them, let them burn in at least 100 hours, and try the different mods others here use. Me, I like them best with straight bowls. If, after all this you decide you still don't like them, give me a shout and I'd probably buy them

Friggin' crap, UPS is saying they'll be here in a week. This sucks, I don't want to wait until Monday. Monday is the worst day of the week.

Getting a new pair of Grado's on a Monday makes it the BEST day of the week!

No problem, maybe you paid for faster shipping or something. I couldn't see spending another $20 for shipping so I stuck with UPS ground, which is usually 3-5 days but I guess there it's a week long thing.

Bah, they're in Minnesota now. Halfway here and could easily get here by the weekend if they wanted but I'm sure it'll just sit a state or two away until Monday like usual. If it gets to the warehouse on Friday I'm going to pick it up regardless of what they tell me. I'll break in.

Congrats on the Grado's!!! Man you are in for some headphone love shock as I was. They do things so well that you will be mad at yourself for not seeing the light earlier. I myself was afraid to try Grado's as I was a Senn fanboy. Now I wonder why I was not open to new things as I love them. Make sure you give us a full report when you get them.

Prediction: Holy

Prediction 2: The following sequence of words will be caught by the language filter.

Enjoy, man. The 225 is a sweet, sweet headphone.
