So last week I had the opportunity to finally listen to some decent headphones at Stereo Design in San Diego, while out there on business. I listened to Grado SR125e, SR225e, RS2, and RS1 headphones. The SR225e and RS1 were amazing to me....i could turn off all EQ's on my phone (listening to 320hz mp3 and FLAC files) and was blown away when comparing them to my Klipsch R6 and Sennhesier HD248's...
So....given a $400-500 total budget......would i better off buying a Fiio X1 or X3 and then headphones....or keep using my phone (Galaxy S6 using Poweramp) and put the money into a modi/mangi stack and headphones?
As much as I REALLY enjoyed the RS1's...they're out of my budget...but the SR225's (which i felt were a step up from the SR125's) would are within said budget. I wanted to try the SR325, but was told they are very hard to keep in stock.
