^ Why did you give up on the 325i?
 
I have a 80i and really like it. Got a new 325i and it's just too bright, after a 48 hours break in it got much better (and I don't think it's a "placebo effect") but it's still fatiguing in some cases. Unfortunatly I couldn't try the PS500 is it warmer than the sr325?

325i was too bright, just unlistenable for me but then was my first pair of 80i 
PS 500 is my fav Grado  by far, can listen to it for hours

...and a big box of tubes to burn through

...or three.

Well I made it to a store today to try out the rs1, ps500, hifiman 400 and Shure something or others. The worst was the hifiman's for my ears. Great bass but the guitars and vocals were too laid back. Loved true RS-1's the most but the bass isn't really there. If I could get the bass of the hifiman on top of everything else the RS-1's give me.

Different strokes for different folks I guess - the RS-1 is somewhat bassy imho.

Not really sure what to tell you beyond that; it isn't a "burn in" or "amp matching" thing, Grado just aren't mega bass headphones.

'RS-1 is somewhat bassy but they aren't mega bass headphones.'
 
Yup.

I think I started to enjoy the sr325i, the more I listen to it the more I like and I'm not sure if it's because of the break in or it's just me getting used to the sound signature. Anyway when I put on the sr80 I find hard to see the difference that justifies the price tag, perhaps, it's my source and fiio amp.

I believe that the SR325is and the PS500 represent the two extremes in the Grado line,the PS500 are the warmest headphones that Grado makes.

I can listen to my SR80i for about 5-6 hours. More than that my ear starts to feel pain. I think I should try on 325i because I feel SR80i less bright already (the treble),  (or im going to be deaf?)

Very happy with my Alessandro MS-Pro's bass response (I've heard the RS1i's are just as impactful)
There's great punch and visceral power behind it
...Then again I'm not a fan of bloated powerful bass like the D2000 bass response..

Hi stacker,
 
Can you please let me know, which HP (MS1, SR60/80/125/225/325) has the warm sound as near as PS500?
 
Thank you.

I haven't heard the MS1 but my guess would be the 225 by a big margin,keep in mind that the PS500 have a roled off treble wich makes them very unGrado like,wich makes them a great match for a bright sounding system,hope this helps

I think I like the PS500 a lot because of the roled off trebe that emphasis on the bass. 
I guess I am allergic to treble and love bass. I love the thickness of PS500 is.

Not heard PS500. MS1 is the darkest of the lot, although Alessandro/Grado lineups aren't dark at all. M1 will compete up to 125, with 60 being brighter than 80, and 80 bassier - 125 merges the 60 with 80 for a more balanced sound - the margins are minuscule. M1 has rolled off highs and lows but it's very articulate and sweet (looking at Grados).
