If I wasn't picking up a '77 4001 rickenbacker bass on Monday I'd have more to blow on headphones. Just sayin.
i do enjoy grados, but Rics over grados every time. i have a '73 4001.

It truly is apples and oranges, you are comparing a real headphone (HE-500) to a toy headphone (SR80). No comparison possible, like comparing a BMW to a KIA.
The two main similarities are the speed and timbre. Both excel at these.
All Grados are very 'fast' with a very natural sounding decay. Also they treat the reproduction of acoustic instrument sounds with respect.
I find the HE-500 to be just as fast if not faster, but instead of being coloured like a Grado, it's neutral and it's sub bass response is superior, linear, but never overpowering (also it has bucket loads more resolution and soundstage).
Also SR80 doesn't sound good on all genres. HE-500 does. Always. Every genre. Ever.
TBH it's apples and oranges. They're leagues apart but both do what they're meant to very well.

That's not true. It is possible to compare.
Whether anyone should compare the two is a debate for the philosophers.
Also I wouldn't compare an SR80 to any Kia. More like a VW Golf GTi (the nice version of a basic model).

Don't be a troll. For seven times the price I wouldn't get seven time the enjoyment. If you guys are comparing a set of headphones that are nothing like each other it makes the comparison invalid. I'm sure the he-500s are pretty awesome, but that isn't what I was looking for or would want to wear.
Awesome Ric!

Actually, I was being serious comparing what is similar between the Hifiman and the Grado. I was not suggesting a qualitative comparison, but a look at similarities. And since I own the HE-5LE and the 225i, and find more similarity in the mids than I would have ever thought, I figured it was at close to being a fair question.
My HE-5LE's trump the Grado's in every way I can think of. But it is not by as far a margin as I would have guessed without listening to both.

Cool! I've been meaning to go over to a friend's house to try his Little Dot, but haven't gotten a chance to yet. He has a pair of 325is.
