Th G pads on my RS325X are fantastic. I get no reduction in mids and highs, but a boost with the low end. The pads go around my ears and are very comfortable. I've got 25 hours or so on the RS325X and I am seriously impressed with them. I laid in bed last night until the wee hours, listening to all sorts of music. I'm running an iPhone 15 Pro Max through a Fiio KA3. I've ordered a Shanling UA5 that will be here monday.

I got the G pads this morning from Grado. The purist probably won't like what I'm about to say, but......

They are fantastic. They fit entirely over my ear and are very comfortable. AND the sound is even better in my opinion. The bass is more pronounced but not flabby.

I've got around 20 hours on them, and they are really "opening up" for lack of a better term.
Very well put.. 👍🏻

Well playing a few jazzy albums tonight with my new to me , hardly used Sr325e via the cheap Douk amp, loads of power spare. Mainly use this Douk with my Hd580 , hd600, all good. Am pretty impressed by these 325e . Even if I already have a fair few other grado.

Anyone using the Large Hard-Shell Case For Grado Headphones sold by Grados? Traveling soon and need a safe means of transporting my cans. With shipping to my house, money comes out to be $70 for a case. Don't know if its worth it, or if to go third party... decisions.

Right behind you my friend. Using Grados RS1i with a Fiio KA5 and my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Using Apple Music HiRes, and lossless mostly.

Received my GH1 today. Listening to them right now. The GH1 is a different animal. I can’t remember hearing another headphone similar to this one. Sound description is not a specialty with me & the conventional terms used by members on Head-fi are not ones coming to mind. The terms, deep, expanded, clear, detailed with solid bass is what I’m hearing/ experiencing. The album playing is Delta Kream by the Black Keys. At times I feel as if I’m sitting in the studio room with the band.

I use the 'Large' for Grados with G-pads (GS3000x, PS2000e), the 'Regular' for Grados with F-pads (Hemp, all Limited Editions, PS500e, RS-1x).

How they stack up against the GH4’s?

^hi firstly which grado are you wanting a case for . You can pick up for around £10 to fit all the SR range with S cush and L pads. Or the much larger grado for the GS , and PS range with G pads. But yes you can also buy a cheaper one which will work ok . Mine was only about £15. Bought from the uk eBay. Let us know what you end up with.

I've bought like 3 different aftermarket cases and they're all a tight fit with my rs1x. returned them. Might have to snag a grado case. Unless anyone got recommendations

Holy moly…. I will assume you are a big fan of them. Got any extra you’d sell? 😂

Need the large for my G cups. Cheers man!

Highly contemplating the large to fit my G cups. But man… $70 seems steep for just a case. We’ll see. Amazon prime is calling my name slightly lol
