Headphoneus Supremus
I'm in a rush right now, but has anybody inquired the OP as to what his source/the rest of his audio chain is?

I realized that it just sounded a little thin, really across the board (not just bass but even mids and high). |

But considering the OPs taste that might very well be a good choice. It really does tip the balance of Grados other way around, from treble happy to bass happy. Change is so extreme that it isnt even funny. Hell, my Ultrasone has less midbass than SR225 after flatpad change. o_O |
