Amictus, what color are the drivers through the grill?

Are they red or black?

Red. 1/4'' jack on the cable.

They probably sound like rs1e than rs1i with the red driver.

The dimensions, colours and position of the drivers are RS1e. The plug is characteristic of the RS1i. There were a quite a few, I think.

  As an owner of the RS1i/e Frankenstein transitional headphones, I thought that I would look for an RS1e thread here on Head-fi. Nothing, except for a lot of adverts from people who are selling their RS1e.That speaks for itself... My RS1i/e are now banished to a friend's house, for when I need headphones there. Last time that I used them, I thought that they were improving after A LOT of burn-in. I hope to be spending some time with them over the next week. Here's hoping...

 
What the RS1e need is A LOT of burning time.

I hope you're right. I'm going away with the PS500s and a Chord TT. I'm looking forward to making some comparisons. I'll also have the headphone out on a Naim Supernait 2 and a simple Mac Mini computer rig with a Meridian Explorer...the RS1(e?) is waiting for me.

EDIT: I also took you seriously... alas. A brief glimmer of hope...

I am finding that the RS1e's big brother, the GS1000e, also needs a LOT of burnin time.  I am over 160 hours and the sound 1) is less good than that of the GS1000i, and 2) is still improving with use.  Don't know whether it will eventually overshoot the GS1000i.

You might want to re read my post John.
 
I know that French is my native tongue, but that wasn't a grammar mistake on my part.

Gave you reputation, but misread your post…didn't realize you were talking about the (e). 

 
 
EDIT:
Just re-read your post…now I understand!

Good man, Joseph.

 
I apologize to all, I mean, to the, RS1e fan out there, about saying that your beloved headphones need a lot of ''burning'' time.

 
I'm bad, I know, I need help.

Can anyone here tell me what i can expect if i were to upgrade from my SR325 to Grado RS1?

Refinement!
I own both the 325is/RS1i and love both!

  Apparently the Mojo sounds great with Grado. Hardly surprising.

Well, I received my Mojo today and I have to say I have never heard as good a sound from my MacBook. I used two different music programs and both sounded excellent. I can't wait til my Coax cable for my X5ii comes on wed. So far I have had no problems.

Which SR325 do you have?
 
Also, the current RS1"e" is a question mark (at best) in terms of SQ.
All indications are that you'd do better with (the discontinued)
RS1(i) - the version just previous to the "e".

I have the normal "SR325" in aluminum, i think it´s the one that came after the "gold" model. So the current RS1e is not that good?

A normal 325 would be black anodized aluminum, so you have a 325i/is.
The RS1e didn't go over well. As @zazex said, if your going to get an RS1 go for the RS1i (or earlier) or the RS2e which is a highly recommended HP.

Ok, i dont want to buy used Grados, so maybe the RS2e is a better choice.
