Well if you're for a "FastAndClean" sound, try one with your ears instead of looking at a graph with your eyes.i am just wondering, why so many people like Grado, it's one of the worst measuring brand of headphones? they are champions in distortions and ringing
You're welcome. But remember when I compare RS2e to the SR line I was referring to the e series because I don't have much experience with prior generations. I think there're people far more experienced with Grado in this thread so don't take my words too seriously.Hi Danny,
Thanks for taking the time to get back to me.
Your description of the rs2e is exactly what i'm looking for in an upgrade from the sr125. As far describing the sound of headphones i'm not very confident in my knowledge of different headphones and how they sound, but 'punchy bass' and 'intimate mids' are what I love about my sr125's.
If i see some of the improvements that you describe like smoother treble and fuller mids, that would be great as my sr125's sometimes can be little harsh in the treble and abit shouty, if that's the correct term sometimes. I've read that this is one area the 'e' versions have improved and coming from an old non 'i' or 'e' headphone i should see an improvement in the treble area.
I've also never thought of my sr125's as being bass light, if there is a good bass line say from the Pixies or the Smiths, they will reproduce the bass great. I do know that they are bass light compared to alot of other headphones but this has never bothered me as i don't like too much bass, and certainly not muddy bass.
Thanks again
I need to practice this because I always take the damn bait!Don't take the bait guys
Low volume listening? Lean bass, treble emphasis and intimate soundstage probably make more engaging listening at lower volume than more neutral headphones?i am just wondering, why so many people like Grado, it's one of the worst measuring brand of headphones?

maybe i should just try them and then decide
This is what I would suggest as well. Unlike some brands, Grado does have a running theme sound wise.Yeah, the best way would be just try one of the lower models like the sr60e or sr80e. If you don't like them you probably won't like the others.

even though grados are very efficient headphone,it does help to bring the best out of them with amplifier though especially with higher end models.just modest one is enough.so if you found little bit disappointment about the sound, try to plug it to amplifier and give it a time
