I have the SR225x's and like them a lot. Mids are forward and it has good bass. I use G pads with them. I've read where the 325x's are a bit on the bright side. But they get a lot of love. If you're happy with the 325x's I would say hold off on the 225x's. Your money might be better spent on a different pair of headphones.Here are the top selling headphones from my local audio shop. (this one isn't even in my country they are from czechia and they just send all of the stuff me to for very cheap)
Im thinking about getting SR225x as I heard many good things about it but I already have the SR325x should i get the 225x?
So I have been running my GH2s louder today than I typically am used to these days, and that really opens them up. I just lost 2 hours.

Very nice!

I’ve been tempted by the GH4 multiple times, but from descriptions I’d consider those two too similar for me owning both…
You are right @plakat. These are really similar. From what I hear, the GH2 is slightly “faster” (attack, transients, decay) and the GH4 seems a touch more warmer with fuller bass. Is seems to me that the midrange is a touch more forward in the GH4, too. It’s probably due to different wood types, as @jonathan c said. These are really nuances. I think I can find use cases for both, but if you own only one of them, you’re not missing out.

Received today the rs2x, at the first hearing not a great upgrade but making an a-b comparison there are more clarity and strength on mids and high, the voices are vibrant and so lively. Back on the 225x the sound is thinner, how can I say? Less materic?
And please make you a favour, use stock pads, at least on the rs2x.
Maybe on the 225x I prefer the bowls but I have to admit that to me the flat pads on the 325x and 225x make the bass a little too boomy so ymmv. Anyway the 225x is phenomenal for its price

Agreed, there is something special about the L-pad that comes with the RS2x. I tried the flats and the G-Pad, but the stock pads sound the best to my ears.Received today the rs2x, at the first hearing not a great upgrade but making an a-b comparison there are more clarity and strength on mids and high, the voices are vibrant and so lively.

I have GH2 and GH4. Tonally, they are similar. With harder cocobolo wood, GH2 is a bit 'sharper' on transients and a bit 'faster' on the decay of notes / chords than is the case for softer Norwegian pine GH4. I love both!Very nice!

I have both the RS2x's and SR225x's and enjoy both of them. I feel that the RS2x's are the better headphone and I use the G pads on both. There is no right or wrong. It's your ears.
