I would disagree, unless my pair of SR225i is just vastly different than everyone else's - which might be possible... I actually prefer the SR125i over the SR225i. The SR225i is almost the opposite of the PS500, in my experience, because the SR225i's lows and mids sound less forward than the lower models, but the highs do not. This makes my ~6 month used pair of SR225i sound unnaturally forward in the highs with a biting sibilance, compared to my SR125i whose highs are just slightly smoother but most importantly are equally as forward as the lower frequencies - making the SR125i a more balanced sounding headphone to me.

I recently side-by-side tested ALL the headphones you just listed, so I think I can help. Of the headphones you listed, the MS1i has the warmest sound signature, no doubt. Followed by the SR125i, which was actually my favorite, but that's because I like my treble and the MS1i rolls off the treble a bit more than I'd like. But to my ears, no doubt the MS1i was the darkest and warmest of these phones - relatively, mind you!
Now the PS500 I did try a couple months back, and I thought it had over-exaggerated bass and a cramped soundstage (compared to RS1i). Its highs are nice, not as rolled off as I had expected to hear, and the overall tonality is nice. The bass is really pretty nice sounding if you like a thick sound. But I enjoyed the more nimble, airier, and crisp approach of the RS1i.
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

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.
