Thanks for the info, my current sr60s are hole punched as it was one of the first mods i did, they sound good but im itching for a touch more bass. Would sr80s 125 or 225s have more bass?
I have not heard vented 80, 125 or 225 drivers...so I don't know. I can tell you that the modified X has about the same amount of bass as my vented 60i.

I Punched 4 hole because I'm crazy, i use to have 225s punched but i broke them trying to solder a new cable. those were great but something tells me each tier is almost the same except for 325 and up as far as drivers go

Well, if you want more bass, you can keep making more holes. If that does not get you the bass you are looking for then you could get another driver. But even those drivers might not have the bass quantity you are looking for (you might need to vent those too).
That guy clearly just does not like Grados. He repeatedly mispronounces the names of the models. I know, four whole characters are tough to remember. The pads are uncomfortable. Yup, they sure are. Thats why there's a whole cottage industry around better earpads for Grados. Their measurements are wonky. I accept that, and I dont care. I listen to a lot of virtuoso rock bass players on my Grados : Berry Oakley, Phil Lesh, Mike Gordon, Oteil Burbridge. I wouldn't keep doing this if they "had no bass". The lowest note on a bass guitar is around 40HZ and the highest note on a normal guitar is around 1khz. Thats where good music happens.

It's just so trendy to crap all over Grado. How many times have we seen someone come into this thread to tell us that they had avoided Grado because of all the negative reviews, only to be absolutely floored when they heard how good they actually turn out to be? I've lost count.
He would've been better served by having an actual Grado fan with him during the podcast for opinions and guidance. (This way, he'd get a few more pads to measure, too!) It was obvious he had no clue how to handle a Grado, as he didn't even bother to stretch the headband from its stock tension.
However, I do agree that there's something "off" about the RS1e. I feel the RS1e and the GS2000e are the two wonkiest models in Grado's lineup. (The Hemp at USD $420 is better than both.) People who have compared the PS1000 (no i, as the PS1000 was released during the i-generation) vs the PS1000e preferred the former. ruthieandjohn, who has the largest collection, preferred the GS1000i over the GS1000e. It seems that Grado's standard 50mm driver (that's not on the GS3000e/PS2000e) is quite a hit-or-miss thing. (But ruthieandjohn loved the GS2000e after he re-terminated it to XLR! Hmm!)
Also, he pretty well acknowledges that the RS2e (or is it R2Se . . . who can keep track of little details like that when its literally your job) is a pretty good match to that one measurement standard; it just happens to be different than the standard he likes. And people in these threads seem to universally rave about the Re2S, er, I mean 2ReS, er, the one with the black headband . . . y'know the e2SR.

I tried Geekria L pads on my Hemp headphones and wasn't really a fan. Can't quite put my finger on why (though I didn't spend a ton of time with them). I think they sound much better with the default flat pads.
