SR225 is amazing. I can't think of any headphones that sell for less than 300 that I would choose over these.

Wouldn't mind some RS-2 or 1s though

How similar to the HF-1 are the SR225? I've borrowed a pair of HF-1 from a friend and I'm loving it. I can't justify spending $300-350 on a pair of HF-1, but $160 for a used pair of SR225 is much easier to stomach

I've owned the SR325i, but they were a bit too bright and heavy for my tastes. Or shoud I save up for a pair of RS-2 ($290-375 used)?

Congrats on the purchase. They were my first serious headphone purchase as well. I love them.

Dang! I envy you!, of all of the Prestige Series, SR225 has that finesse among bright Grados. I will get mine eventually

To my ears, not at all.

If you can find RS-2s for less than $300 buy them, they're great cans. Not that the 225s are bad, they aren't for the $$$, but neither are they the end-all of the Grado lineup. Congrats to the OP, I had a pair for a while and only sold them to try other cans.

I just got mine a few days ago and I'm loving them... congrats on the purchase

Congrats indeed on the purchase. I'm sure you'll love them as much as those who have spoken before.

Watch out though! Grado packs a virulent upgraditus bug into each pizza box He and Alessandro ship out!

Save for RS2. I was starting with SR225 myself, until several month later have heard RS1, THAT WAS IT.

Didnt buy RS1 but his brother who is really good as well.
And now I keep thinking of GS1 which the hell out of my range right now
