If the ad700s are similar in any way to the ad2000s and they are not energetic to you then a grado with bowls is up your alley. Probably a 325i, not the darker 225. Soundstage of grados might be less than your ad700s if the ad700s have the same soundstage as my ad2000s. Other than that, I think the ad2000s are really energetic cans. Even more than grado sr60s i also have

ad700s are 180~ here and ad2000 $1000 lol, surely the ad2k would have better soundstage :0

Out of all my headphones that I've bought and sold, I miss my SR225's the most,

I always reach for my Grados the most of everything in my profile.
The 225 is one of those "must haves" for any collection imho.

I'll probably order them Sunday after the cut-off date for the credit card is passed. Then comes the waiting game

 

[jfindon]

The only other thing I'm worried about is how "fatiguing" they'll be to listen to for extended periods of time. I really wish I could test the damn things out, but I guess TTVJ also has a 30 day money back policy. Not sure if he'd cover me just not liking them though.

I also like to compare these to something that is known for lots of bass, like the Beyer DT990s.

Todd is a good guy. If you find that you don't like them just give him a call.

I haven't completed a straight return with him, but he was more than happy to take back my 225's and give me credit towards the HD600's I ended up purchasing.

That's good to know, if I would happen to not like them I'm sure I'd happily take credit toward another purchase at his site, I don't really need my money back. I'm out to find a decent set of headphones because I'm tired of my PX100s, so I'll just buy another pair if I don't like the SR225s.

Only things that worry me are the bass and how fatiguing they'll be.
