Don't hate me, I've heard them but I don't own a pair yet. So I'm as tantalized as you are that they are now available. I may be even more tortured since I know how great they sound

Yeah, no doubt. Maybe these phones are 4 years of college plus 2 years of job (grad school between?) ahead of me. So I might have a longer period of tantalization...

Bought the SR225 six hours ago. The good news... they are signed by Joseph Grado. I guess thats not the same as John Grado... I'm still pretty satisfied.

Please post a pic

Did anybody notice that SR80i drivers now went through the same de-stressing process as old SR125 and better models? the original SR80 drivers didn't go through the same processing.

from Grado website :

"Built on the same features as theSR60i, but SR80i utilizes a 4 conductor connecting cable and the diaphragms are put through a special 'de-stressing' process in order to enhance inner detail, the result of which gives a more open stage."

Hey guys I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the change in colour on the 325is! It is now brushed silver instead of Gold! They look way better. Should have taken a pic sorry. They look like the HPs alot now so better looking indeed.

I took my black 325s and plugged them in along side them and preferred mine. But to each their own i guess. Another thing I noticed was the cable was bigger and the bowls were more comfortable.

As far as sound goes I believe these new silver 325is are less harsh than the gold 325is (going from memory) but not as warm as the blacks old school.

Unfortunately it was hard to gauge them completely because of background noise and questionable HP out of CD player (all be it a high end CDP).

Curious as to whether the SR225i would still hold the title of "best buy" after all these changes..

They use comfies up to the SR125i's, though.
Weird, that.

[Kitarist]

interesting how much are old 225 worth now

 

[Bullseye]

Damn.... my already "vintage" grado sr225 are only 1.5 months old, and they have already released a new version...

Would be good to read more than one review on the differences. If it is worth it I might get back to the shop and ask them if I could change the old one for the new one...

I could also keep it and sell it in the feature as the vintage grado sr225s...

Hate this hobby...

 

[starnerd67]

I just bought the old sr80

How much better are the new phones compared to the old "vintage" ones ???

(aesthetically i like the old design better.....)

FWIR, more bass, less treble (in the SR60i's case).
Pangaea was the reviewer, IIRC.
