Yeah, I don't think any Grado rocks as hard as the SR325x... Stones, AC/DC, Who, Black Sabbath

I agree. It's awesome with these bands indeed.

Man... I started out tonight "testing" the RS2x and GS1000 so I could comment earlier... than put on the SR325x with Exile on Main Street... could. not. stop. listening.

Going to get the 325x in the closet...

Strangely, I'm enjoying classical stuff (what little that I have) with the Sr80x. Piano notes seem to have a little extra oomph, and the space they provide d music is great.

Not an avid listener of the genre, but an unintended benefit.

Just did the same. Jesus Christ. This is not a joke.

Really amazing the difference. The 325x hit hard. With this album is really magic.

When I got my first Grado, the 80e, I was super impressive with classical music also. Btw, loving the Apple Music Classical app, listening to the genre more and more.

Just put here John Adams "Shaker Loops - The Wound-Dresser" with the 325x and also amazing. So much presence and weight. Those big drums goes deep and big.

I'm enjoying some Ramin Djawadi n Basil Poledouris right now. Great bombastic stuff...

This combination, with its balance, dynamics, PR&T

brings out the magic in

Yup... now Amazon Music HD has decided to keep playing great tunes...damn it can't stop, won't stop... Wish me luck

I went with the RS2x, because by many reports the Hemp is similar to the SR325x, so for me the RS2x slots in well with my GS1000, SR325x, and SR60e.

I find that the RS2x is so easy to put on and play... it plays well with both of my solid state amps and really great with jazz, blues, ...and rock... until I plug in the SR325x.

I was thinking about getting the 325X but read where they were bright so I went with the 225X. I don't know if I'm a bit uncomfortable with having a Hemp headphone. The novelty of that might get a bit old. If I were to buy today, I think it would be the RS2X. That's within my budget.
I find the 225X's to be a fun listen. I have other headphones for critical listening. I put my Grado's on and turn it up. Someone had posted a picture of their gear. They were streaming into a Magni and Modi Schiit stack and listening with SR80's. I was thinking how that must be a ton of fun.

I also find the RS2x to be comfortable... It is just barely an over ear for me and my rugby ears

Yeah, I'm definitely going to need to get ZMF or another aftermarket leather pad for my new 325x, turning them into either an over-ear (ZMF) or plush on-ear (other brand). I can only take about 60-75 minutes with either the Geekria G bowl or F stock pads before it feels like a blowtorch is nailing the cartilage in my right ear, even after gently stretching the headband.

No worries, though. Love the sound of the 325x!

You will get used to the F pads. After some time they don’t bother anymore.
