I think i'll start with the RS60's or 80's. If i like them, i will go up in the grado line.

I love love love my SR60i's. My first 'high end' headphones, and they're AMAZING.

Welcome, newcomers!

I put a pair of flat pads on my RS1 and the bass became huuuuuge. I couldn't listen to it. I think I'm used to it now, and the bass became totally addictive hehe.

Hey folks I have a few questions for those that would indulge me- I've been looking into 225's for a bit now, and someone recently started really suggesting them, so how would they play music like Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, U2, Radiohead, and rockier stuff in general + some electronic stuff like The Cure/NIN/RH. 
 
If not, anybody have a req for some cans in that budget?
 
Best,

You'll do just fine! The Grado not having enough bass vibe fades once you get to the SR225, for some songs it's really punchy!
 
Radiohead in general sounds great on any good headphone honestly.

Just bought my SR60is. 
 
Comparing them with the HD438, I'd say that the SR60i don't really wow me that much.
SR60s have got bass, but it doesn't show as well as the HD438. On the other hand, the
SR60s are slightly more uplifting than the HD438s, and much more sibilant

You must've heard this a lot. I did too. But..
 
Just try venting and damping the SR-60s!

I would give them a go first

 

[Hifianddrumming]

Will do

I tried them in the shop (soundhounds) running them through a 5k Mcintosh CD player hooked up to an Antique Sound Lab Tuba amp. Audio bliss for an almost new Grado listener. I'm probably gonna be getting the PS 100 before I know it

Any way to reduce clamp force?
 
Also, loving the open sound.

the headband is a piece of bent steel sheathed in fake (or real leather), just bend the earcups away from each other and the clamping force will be greatly reduced
