Man, a new headband really adds some class to the Grado's. Nice pictures.

So, what are some replaceable pads for the SR60s? The foam ones are a little.. I wouldn't say uncomfortable but fatigueing.

you should try i grados and see how they feel after you have had them on for a couple of hours..that's probably what your ears feel like after you have had your head stuck between some railings!

Forum newbie, but long term Grado lover here. I've had a pair of SR80's (not the i's) for about 13 or 14 years and I still love them.
 
I'm thinking of upgrading but can't decide between the 225i's and 325i's. Any opinions ? I'm leaning towards the 225i's as they close enough to the 80's that when my wife asks if they're new I can just deny it and say I've had them for years......

It would be harder with the 325i's with the metal frames.

Haha, upgrading based on wife aggro? That's funny. You could always do the "I modded them!" excuse for the sr325. :p
 
I'm also experiencing upgraditis... but only after 2 months of having the sr60's! They just struck a chord in me as my first real set of good headphones, and I LOVE their sound... but I just have to keep telling myself to be happy with what I have for a while and let it sink in so that I enjoy an upgrade even more later down the road.

Can anybody outline what the major differences are in the sound between the 325 and 225 ? I don't have a shop anywhere nearby that stocks them so can't go and listen.

I own a vent-modded 225i, and heard a stock 225i and a 325is yesterday. The 325is has more of a smiley curve response than the 225i. You'll get a little more midbass and treble. This may or may not be a good thing to your ears.
 
Note that when you give the 225i the vent mod (this mod is good on the 60i, but really shines on the 225i), it'll produce as much midbass as the 325is, though it still won't have the sharp treble. It sounds shockingly similar to an RS2i. I preferred the 325is over the stock 225i, but the modded 225i over both. As for non-sound issues, the 325is is significantly heavier than the 225i, and that was the breaking point for me. The 225i is about as light as the RS1i/RS2i.

I thought I'd mention it in this thread.  If anyone is looking for a pair of Grado RS-2 headphones for a great price, head to Audiocircle.com and look under the For Sale section where headphones are listed.   A pair is priced at $325.00.  That's about the best used price I've ever seen on the RS-2.  
 
I'm not affiliated with that seller in any way ... just passing along a noted good deal.

I've decided on goin' big and buying a pair of 325i's, any recommendations for mods? Or is it best just to leave them as is?
I understand everyone has different tastes, I just want some thoughts haha

I suggest you listen to your phones for a while before attempting any mods. If you are happy with what you have, why mod them at all? If not, start with the different pad mods. All the pads and their SQ changes have been documented across this forum.
