Ehhhh. I dont hate the Pokeados (or is it Gradomons?). The Pikachu one is cool, kinda looks like my GH3. I think I'll be able to resist collecting them all at $500 a pop.

I actually think it is an SR80x with a wooden exterior. The grill gives it away, as it's the plastic grill with round holes instead of the metal grill found on the SR225x and higher.

EDIT: Okay, the Pikachu one is $300 but has an aluminum cup, a metal grill, and a wooden title decoration. The Pokéball one is $500 but has a thicker wooden cup with a plastic grill. Weird. The Pokéball one also comes in a $300 aluminum version.

Maybe they like the ‘50s ‘Science Fiction antenna‘ appeal. Moves the vertical rotation axis 2 centimeters to the front of the ear. Don‘t have the F-cushion @ home, so - no idea how that feels.
Maybe it‘s a good idea and they change lettering (R/L) and connections…
Time to bring 1 or 2 remarks:
- detachable cables?!
- 2.5mm TRRS connectors?
- 4.4mm Pentaconn connectors?
One of the pics shows use in a club. Uhm… yeah, no!
‘…with attached auxiliary cable‘ is in jest, I hope.
They really shouldn’t write SR80x. Fourth generation Prestige Series headphones would serve much better.
The driver matching of 0.1 dB points to an SR60n and the impedance of 32 Ohms to a SR60e.
Personally I am … don‘t know… Pokémon???
But:
- Maple housings on an x driver?!
- The Poké Ball Ventilation might have an interesting effect to the sounding.

Edit: for some reason i didn’t see the pokeman headphones were posted already lol

And @ 4ourears all Reference, Limited Edition (which is just the Hemp) and Professional models are sold out. I really was expecting the GS1000e to dissapear, but not the totl PS2000e.
Still no Thelonious Monk Edition Grados.
So it‘s now Wireless, In Ear, Prestige, Statement and the Pokémon Collaboration models.

How do you know that your not wearing them backwards?

Heh. You can see the L/R labels, and even when you can’t, the metal rods should be behind the headband, not in front of it.

I've seen and read quite a few Grado-bashing reviews, but this one takes the cake. In it he listens to:

• RS1e: A contentious model because Grado put the 50mm driver in a smaller cup and gave it L pads, making for a rather different (perhaps dull) sound. When I demoed the various models at my local shop, the RS1e struck me as one of the worst.
• SR325e with G pads: Ok, take the brightest Prestige model and give it G pads to make it the most unbearable listen.
• GW100 wired: This isn't how you're supposed to use it. Going wired disables the auto-EQ that comes from using it wireless. It's generally agreed that the GW100 doesn't sound very good when you use it wired.

Probably the three worst examples he could've used to judge Grado, and I bet he did it on purpose.

Jesus Christ...it's not a review it's a sabotage But! He used the left-right side correctly!

Sorry, on comment got deleted...the scene just remainded me how he also falled from one trap to an other in his review

 

[adhoclex]

I was already settled on upgrading my SR80x to SR225x. I've asked around and there had been a consensus of a noticeable difference between the two models.

However, I was thinking of probably moving it further down to the SR325x.

But will I really miss anything if I go for the SR225x instead? Or the difference between the two are only subtle that you had to nit-pick to notice? I just wanted to move on with this buying decision.

 

[Stevko]

225 is really good. take a hemp/500 instead of 325

 

[Plautus001]

225 is really good. take a hemp/500 istead of 325

When I tested the entire e series a few years ago, I liked the 225e best, then the 60e second

Which x series is closest to the old 225e?
