I bought an SR60 on impulse the other day and have found myself loving the Grado sound signature again. I was listening to some Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong recordings last night and it sent chills down my spine the entire time. I pretty much know that I will be upgrading to a higher-end Grado at some point, but I just dropped $300 on E500PTH's and don't want to spend another $250 on the SR325's just yet.
Some complaints about the SR60's... voices, especially female, sometimes sound hollow and thin. Bass could be stronger. I don't want to go any more expensive than the SR325 and I've heard from a couple people that there isn't much reason to go beyond the 325 except perhaps to the GS1000. I listening to some RS2's at my local store and thought they were way too bright.
How close, in your opinion, are the SR325's to the SR60? Obviously they will be better, but how much better? Should I return the 60's and upgrade now to save money in the long run, or will the 60's hold me over? Or is there another Grado or other headphone that I should look into?
