This would depend if you liked the sonic characters of the SR80 more than your MDR-7506.
The SR80 is inexpensive, so maybe it's worth it to buy and try them for yourself?
The Sony headphones all sound more or less the same. Kinda boomy bass and veiled treble. Grados are the polar opposite of that. For me that is a 200% upgrade but i don't know if that's the case for you. You just habe to try a Grado i guess.
FWIW my gf who is a non-audiophile run of the mill consumer loves her SR60e a lot. It even makes her sit down every day and explore the songs she already knows in a new way.
I'm intereste3d in this too. I've had my 325e now for a few days, spent a lot of hours with them. They're not as I recall my SR80i, by that i mean they don't seem to have as much bass, they're almost anaemic! Also the mid / upper mids aren't as breathtaking as I'd imagined; I'm left thinking that they should be better, ie a bit underwhelmed, rather than knocked out by them. From memory, I was always thrilled listening to the SR80 back in the day when they still worked, maybe it's a memory trick....
Hi everyone, not been on for awhile. And I'm looking again over all the posts in this thread. Got a long way to go yet ha ha . But I have a question.......
I have the Sr 60. And 225 ,,and the gold 325.
What's your views on now picking up a pair of Rs2e I think I can get a new set at good deal . But would it be worth it .....?
Thanks in advance for any advice ....

I did not heard 325, but I have MS1 which should be SR80, and I absolutely agree on bass it is so good and with nice kick (at least with different pads than original). With orignial pads sometimes it can be boomy.

I would say yes...but you will not be hearing a night and day difference. If you can detect a difference between your SR60 and your SR325 then you will also be able to tell that the RS2e is better than your other Grados.
You should go with the Hemp. I have heard pretty much all the Grado headphones, and in my opinion the Hemp are one of the best Grado headphones for Metal music. (I'm driving them with the Liquid Platinum) The RS2e are also very good, but they are slightly too bright for my tastes.
Thanks for extra info. But I'm only really looking at getting the Rs2e. As price seems very good. But I already have the phones above. ..225, 335 , etc So would it be worth it !? Or sticking to my lot.
