My plans for my next 'phones will be either the Grado RS-2 or SR325i.
Though I seem a bit undecided on which one to purchese from the reviews and what not.

Can anyone in an in-depth detailed review compare both or show the significant points of both headphones?

For me, definitely RS-2. Tone quality is better, highs less fatiguing, tighter bass and more punch, smooth mid-range, better instrument seperation and lighter in weight. I'm allegic to the 325i, they make my ears bleed.

Why waste time, go straight to the RS-1's.

$300, or $500, I would get the RS-2, or if you can swing it, the RS-1!

The RS-2 is a fantastic set of cans, with a warmer, and richer bass than the 325i, plus you get the glorious wood as a bonus!

Get the RS-2s.

I personally didnt really like the 325i

I have been in the same boat. What about the SR-225i, or MS-2i?
I am thinking RS-1 or MS-2i (what is wrong with the SR-325i?)

lol Yep gotta' love that nice toned wood housing.

Thanks guys.

I will likely order the RS-1 despite the $200 difference. I should just shoot for the best. Though I'm not ordering anytime soon, in the middle of next month is when I will.

But the difference between the RS-2 and RS-1 would be the size of the housing as I know the RS-2 has a smaller air chamber. Are both drivers the same?
