So, SR60e vs SR80e...

...which offers more bass and a slightly darker sound signature?


I am definitely not looking for a dark sound signature overall, just a slightly darker version of the grado house sound.

PS500e is way out of my price range for now, so sticking with entry level.

If you can, go somewhere to listen to them in person. That way you can be 100% sure you made the right choice...

In the i series, it was 60. I'm guessing 60e will be darker based on the extent to which e series conserved the sound of the i series line up in the two SRs I've heard so far.

Now, I want to hear it!

+1 +1
 
I found the same too -- 60i had more satisfying punchier bass than 80i. I use 60i as travel HP for hotel room listening.

Yea, the sr60i is my on the go headphone also.....for inside listening.......awesome little can for sure

 

[CanadianMaestro]

I shall pass on 60e or 80e.
 
$110 here buys a LOT of vinyl/digital music, my friends!

Your Avator---MAD Ear+ amp. How does it sound with Grados?
 Would like a MAD Ear+ in den, to replace my Burson Soloist. Hooked to a CD38 tubed CDP. 
How does MAD Ear+ compare to WA6 in SQ? I like transparency and a bit of warmth.

The mad ear  & grado combo is very nice indeed....I have recently got rid of my rs1....i still have a 225 and they also have great synergy with the mad.....I can not speak for the wa6....as i have not tried it

 

[CanadianMaestro]

thanks, whirlwind.
 
yeah, I find my RS1i a bit grainy and bright on top. It's the weakest of my Grados, surprisingly. mids are great on it, though.
my fav is still ps500. better than my GS1000i, imo.

IMO the RS1i's are real source dependent as to what sounds good with them. I like big band music so the RS1's graininess is less of a concern because I enjoy their more organic presentation. The RS1's really capture the timbre of the saxophones and horns better than the other Grado's that I've heard.

 

[whirlwind]

The RS1 was my favorite grado that I heard, by a pretty large margin....many say the 225 is pretty close, but not too my ears.  The PRaT on the RS1 was incredible for rock & blues
 
I never heard the GS or PS

Some Sunday mornin' drooling from here in Nirvana.
Newbies take note. Presentation is everything...like a fine culinary dish.

You should also hear how awesome the RS1i sounds with the WA7 + TUBE psu - takes them to a whole new level! PS500 as well.
