And these are brand new! I paid 61$, and now I'm considering selling them on eBay for their retail, or maybe 125$. Should I, so I can get what I paid for and a wad of extra cash? Or should I keep them and be the headphone king of Northwest Oregon?

Also, does the sound of the SR-125's get significantly better after burn in? Right now, my Sennheiser HD 477's have deeper more impactful bass, and I need to know if SR125's can cruch those on a receiver.

I don't know, could you really handle being the "headphone king of Northwest Oregon" ?

 

[seeberg]

And that's a great Mark Twain quote you have. If I sell them after burn in, I'll go for 125$.

 

[seeberg]

Yes, I believe I could. I'm the only person I know who actually puts 50$ into them, yet in this case, I get 150$ out of them.

Hey dude, that is a rokken smiley face. Thought you might like to know.

You may as well have the ONLY set of 'phones in Northwest Oregon! Just how many people are by you anyway? You live in Sisters?

 

[jms007bnd007]

Wait a second...Sisters isn't in Northwest Oregon. I'm from Bend, a town in Central Oregon, and very near to Sisters, and let me just say that Central Oregon is surprisingly not in the Northwest of the state.

Damn, that's nice man. I'd keep them hands down. It'd be a good excuse to get an amp, like the CHA47 to start off with.

 

[seeberg]

I can't afford an amp and I need something slightly more portable, I might sell my new SR-125's and get SR-60's, that is if they sound similar. By the way, I live in Salem, Oregon, Bond. I want a powered subwoofer, so what I may do is sell the 125's and my current passive sub and go for some SR-60's and a Powered sub unit. then I could be rokken~like Dokken.... just kidding, Like AC/DC!! Then I'd be ROCKING, but if it were TOOL, it would be redundant, yet satisfying...

 

[jms007bnd007]

great, you updated your profile with your location, and make me look like a fool.

His location wasn't there when I said all that stuff about sisters....I swear!!!!

 

[redshifter]

man, i'd hold on to those sr125. i have a pair and with the meta42 these things are just bliss.

 

[seeberg]

I dunno... I'll let 'em break in for a coupla days. In the meantime, I'll clean my Sennheiser HD477's they replace for auction. And to Bond, James Bloody Bond, yes, I did update my profile just now, and it was about damn time. By the "whey", what is a Meta 42?

 

[stan23]

keep the grados and don't worry about the money. We're talking minor amounts here.

 

[NEO]

I'll probably inform the seller that he sent me a wrong headphone by mistake and see what he says...just my thought.

 

[dd3mon]

Minor to some is a fortune to others. I dropped a few hundred on my 600's + MG Head, but my roomate has trouble buying meals every week.

A Meta42 is a headphone amplifier designed by 'senior members' of head-fi with great electrical engineering experience. There are several head-fi members who will build them on commission or you can build them yourself as a kit.

its all relative. If he can afford $61 for what he was thinking was the SR-80, then why not just keep the 'free' upgrade that is the SR-125?
