haha, I can totally understand that...I wanted "more of a good thing" as soon as I heard the 80s
If you find the treble a bit harsh on the 225s, you definitely wouldn't like the 325s...pretty sure they're a tad brighter. I find a lot of it is dependent on the recording itself, but also that tubes tend to really tame the highs a bit. I prefer a more forward sounding headphone anyway, so for me the tubes get the 325s right where I like em.
And I totally agree about how light the lower Grados are. After washing the pads on my 80s and making a very small adjustment to the headband, I honestly cannot tell when these things are on my head. That's why I'm dumbfounded when someone mentions that the 60s or 80s are not comfortable. They feel as if I have nothing on my head at all...and on top of that they sound fabulous
Yep I was in this dilemna where I had three Grado headphones and had to give up one. So I was going to use 60's on the go and then 225is at home (then sell the RS1) but then I went and sold my 60s and kept the 225's on the go and the RS1's at home....and i'm so glad I did! Because once the RS1s are burned in they sound fantastic and voices are really warm and lush. Using the 225s on the go is heavy on the head....and thats when I begin to miss the lightness of the 60s.
