Decided to order the 225x last night as my first Grado, thanks for all the help everyone! The 325x seemed like a really great choice but after reading some more I thought the 225x might have just a slightly more preferred tonality for me with some additional weight and cost savings.
Coming from my Verite and Atticus, it'll probably take me a little bit to acclimate to the Grado sound once they get here, but I'm excited to see if I end up loving that sound or if its crispness will scare me away haha. Hopefully it'll be the former and I'll join the ZMF + Grado fan camp along with several other people here

SR225x is a headphone with so much value for money. You pay for SOUND not for leather and wood. If you end up liking them, you can safely explore the more expensive models later. Enjoy the music!

The SR225x's were my first Grado's. I liked them enough to move up the ladder to RS2x's. They aren't bright if that's a concern. On the 225x's the mids are forward and the bass is good. Enjoy.
The Grado PS500 I bought on eBay showed up today with some strange pads (listing showed them so not a problem in that respect, though) — they sound muffled frankly with these, and I wondered if anyone knew what these were
I had PS500 sent to where I’m at this week but I will be back at home next week where I will definitely try these with proper L-pads.

Put on my Grados on Sunday after a steady diet of ZMF. The first few minutes it was like "What the hell?" Then after 15 minutes or so, I was acclimated. So different, but isn't that all part of the fun? If everything sounded the same, we wouldn't need these forums or 1,000 headphones to choose from.
Sadly i cant get any grados used or any of the older grados beucase its hard for me to find any locally and on ebay its mostly just from the US. Shipping is way too expensive to get to me*** and im not even going to talk about VAT. ):

Here I am listening to the RS1X for the first time since september and I already know that this will be a two week long session with them.
Just like the last time when I had to force put them off and force listen to others...
