Are you still keeping the 325e in the end?

Selling both ATM on the for sale thread. Both have their merits but I am sticking with the PS500e as my sole Grado. The treble is a little tamer and doesn't affect my ears as much.

Very intresting but PS500e expensive in Germany 700 Euro( 790 Dollar), but this might be the way to go, I have only the GR10 by now, and I love them. Which music are you listening for the most part?

Right now I am comparing grado 60e vs 325i and I am surprised that 60e are more sibilant than 325i.

Still cannot decide on 325e vs RS2e... I was able to test the 325e locally and liked them a lot, but cannot try the RS2e out.
 
The other point to my consideration is I have an old SR80 that I will be putting in cherry wood cups and planning on getting a turbelent labs headband.  Since that one will be all wood/brown leather, I'm thinking the 325e aluminum will be a nice contrast.
 
Decisions decisions...

Based on head-fi feedback (and my own experience with the RS-2e) I'd say you can't go wrong with that decision

I'd also suggest considering the Alessandro MS2e. The MS2e is a 325e with proper dampening. I would say the MS2e gives 90% the dynamics of the 325e, but surpass the 325e when the music gets complex. I find the 325e driver diaphragms are will loose its composure with fast pace, complex music. The  MS2e keep its composure with the same music.

I agree 100%, having ''a nice contrast'' is my no:1 criteria too, when I'm shopping for new audio equipement.
 
Trust me when I tell you, go with the SR325e, I just bought a pair of n.o.s RS1, and it was a pain in the arse, trying to find a matching belt, and tomorrow, I'm leaving for Holland, to try find a pair of matching wooden shoes. Wish me luck!. 
 
I'm kidding of course, I'm not going to Holland...I found some wooden shoes right here in Montréal.
 
Seriously though, I can't talk, I'm currently waiting for a dark color Grado RA1 amp, to match my RS1, and I'll be the first one to admit that although the RA1 sounds good, it's a little expensive, for what it is.
 
Good thing I'm not a woman, because I'd have to find a matching purse too.

Where can you order these, want to get a pair for my Wife, they will make lovely Mothers Day Present!

I failed to hear any difference between sr60 i and e versions. where should there have been a difference in SQ?

 

[CanadianMaestro]

Don't sweat it. sr60 is the hardest (for me) to hear a substantial difference.
I tend to stick with 80i.

i did not know that... i think i might have a chance to test with 125 i and e series... what differences wxactly should be between them?

 

[CanadianMaestro]

You may have a good time with the 225e. 225i is really good.

My unofficial "red drivers" 60e had more bass and less treble than the official 60i.

Looks comfy, and they match the new GS1000e, too bad women aren't into high end headphones.
