  How harsh is the 325e?

I got the Pioneeer HRM-7's, and they were really harsh for me, and I just cannot have that.

I hear the 325's are very bright, but that the 325e's were less bright, but I'm very sensitive to too much so....


thanks.

They should be fine for you. Just don't use them with a DAC/amp that's too bright, like the ODAC/O2 or Magni/Modi or anything from Creative... I think a cheap tube amp like the Little Dot I+ would be best for you.

  Got home tonight and to my surprise my PS1K were back from Grado! 

 
A-ha-ha-hey. Congrats.

A-ha-ha-hey. Congrats.

Thank you.
Funny thing is, they now have the micro-details/clarity they started lacking and sound great! I don't know what they did to them, but they sure sound burned-in, so I don't think they changed the drivers because when the PS1K are new, they need plenty of burn-in IMO/IME before sounding this good. And I also prefer the PS1K to the (e) series due to the fuller bodied sound due to their mid-bass.
I did prefer the (e) more for percussion instrument though, but at times they could sound sounded a little thin…just a little due to them having less mid-bass…otherwise I would say between the two its a matter of preference, so I'm very happy to have them back!

I recall you said you want a headphone Also for watching japanese cartoon or something? I really don't think I'd watch JP cartoon with any Grados. You know there's too much shouting going on in japanese anime right?

 
That's goingto be harsh on your ears.
 
(Or maybe I misread your post, sorry).

So I went a little crazy today and purchased an RS1 classic and an RS1i. I'll be curious to see how they sound compared to one another.

20, no?

 

[wormsdriver]

Pffft, I thought it was 21!

Pffft, I thought it was 21!

Actually it is a total of 19 Grado headphones in hand plus one more on the way, plus two Grado amps. Total 21 Grado components, soon to be 22.

BuuHuu I broke my Grados!

Yesterday the magnet fell out of my trusty sr60 that I have owned at least 7 years, 10? Yrs. Dont remember.
Although I have had other headphones, the Grados have never been permanently shelved, and have been used in all sorts of places from Norwegian winter on the train to office to bed, to gaming etc.

But I need some new Grados. I tried repairing it, but I could not get the magnet seated precicely so sound is now much lower in one speaker than the other.
What grado can be an upgrade in quality with the same sound , not much heavier, and not hellishly expensive?

Suggestions?

If you have about 25% more than the cost of a new pair of SR60e's, I would urge you to try the SR80e's.  In fact, they are only about 10% more than the SR60e in specials both on massdrop.com and buysonic.com, though you must act fast.  In US, new SR60e is $79, SR80e is $99, and the two specials are $81 and $85.
 
Good luck.
