...And they have been lovely so far

. Some pics, not that you guys haven't seem them many times before:

These are my first Grado's, first open cans, and first pair over $150. Needless to say, they represent a new level of audio for me. After 20 minutes they have matched my expectations almost dead-on in every aspect, especially sound signature.

Starting to see why some of you are such fanatics for Grado

. Take care all.

Glad you are enjoying them! Poor me, I listened to the sr325i's at a meet last weekend, and I am about to pull the trigger on some $400 RS2's

 

[Aura]

Haha, yeah I hear ya (no pun intended

).

I'm already itching to hear either of the reference pairs...

 

[kpeezy]

Glad you like them though

They're very awesome and I can't wait to get another pair.

You'll feel better when you can get that speaker amp bro

Congratulations on your purchase! +1 for the SR225 fan club.

They sure do sound great, don't they?

 

[NiceCans]

How do you know they are really SR225 without the 'button' that says it?

Just kidding.

Congrats & enjoy!


So those did not come from the factory without the button, like the new style RS1 & RS2 do, but were removed by the previous owner?

 

[Tgun5]

Congrats. Theses are the phones that got me hooked.

 

[skudmunky]

I love my SR225. Won't get rid of em until I get around to funding an RS-1

Yeah, the buttons were removed by Kyle (kpeezy) when he owned them.

I'm really enjoying them; already ordered some HD414 pads direct from SennUSA, so that will be my next little upgrade

.

Thanks everyone, best regards.

A Beyer DT770 cushion is a nice thing to get. It really improves the fit (in my opinion) and I think that it makes it look nicer too. It's only like $8 (+shipping) or something.

 

[Aura]

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into those as well.

Bowls, Flats, HD414, DT770... there are a lot of options for pads here

.

Oh, what fun! I just received my SR-225s from Brian_the_King tonight. What a pleasant surprise to come home from a typical Monday to the Grados. This is my ONLY introduction to ghe Grado sound.

Well, I've had the privilege of listening unamped from my D2, using the portable amp on both high and low gain and usning my Denon receiver. Different sounds, but clearly these need to be driven with an amp in order to reach their potential.

Sorry, I need to go. Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" just came on and I've now been abducted to a new level of listening.

The DT770 cushion is for the headband, not a bad like the bowls/414/flats/comfies. It makes a big difference.
