Also, I've seen a few Grados now with the label removed from the outer grille. How does one go about doing this? Does it make any perceptable difference to the sound or is it purely aesthetic?
I purchase them modded, I think a blow dryer and some warm air will loosen the glue that holds the badges on. I have the badges in the Grado box, I like the looks of them better without the tag. As for sound, probably not much difference between on or not on, unless your hearing is very, very good, something mine isn't.
Thanks for the replies guys. I've decided to order the SR80x's for now. And when or if i do upgrade i'll go the SR225X's. Seems like most people like those. Looking forward to getting the 80's for now.
I agree in principle to much of this for the "e" series, and after listening to the 60e-80e-125e-225e-325e, I bought some 60e's and wanted to buy 225e's (I thought they were a great "rock" headphone if not bass shy).
However, the 325X is a big improvement that has more bass and tames the treble in comparison with the "e" version.
Tonight I have swapped between my 1770,225e and RS2e.
The rs2e compared with 225e, 15% better lows and 10% better soundstage/details.Think the highs is much the same.
And yes, If you like Grado you will love DT1770
Check out:
I am currently playing it again in iTunes (90 seconds per song) and trying to decide if I should buy it. Pretty relaxed horns and nice piano. Very chill!
FWIW: I just "saved" a lot of money for a new HP by swapping the OG pads on the GW100 to the G-pads. It really increased the comfort as well as the sound stage. Everything becomes a bit more airy and to my ears details are not lost.

Thanks my friend. I agree, that the various Grado tiers have significant differences. That being said, how did you calculate the 15% and 10% details? Slide rule? Computer Algorithms? Or the meta verse?
LOL. Only kidding. I actually agree with your assessments!
