Just got these in the mail today. Scored them on eBay for $150 new and I’m blown away. So much detail! I don’t need to play super loud to get the full effect. Once these break in they’ll be magic.

Been listening to...

Umphreys McGee
moe.
The Band
LCD Soundsystem
Allmans
Phish
Metallica
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin

...ever since I got home from work and everything has been amazing so far. About to give some Gram Parsons and Zappa a spin in a few. Loving it!

Dude. From top to bottom. Music I listen to daily.

Started with SR80's many years ago, then recently tried to find nirvana with a bunch of other headphones, I am back with Grado with a new pair of SR325e's. Using G Cushions solved the one issue I had with Grados. I plan to move up the Grado line in the future and get back to listening to music now instead of "testing".

Grado's just fit the music I listen to.....

Interesting... I could never stand my 325 with G cushs. Did you find any changes to the sound? Is the mids and trebles shouty for you?

At first I thought the bass became more recessed. But I didn't feel it changed the sound that radically. I really like the sound, and the comfort for me is 500x better.

I couldn't either (325is.) Too me, the mid & upper frequencies sounded like a tin can and there was no bass quality anymore. I went right back to the L cushions.

L-Cush with the tape mod is my favorite.

Just got done listening to AC/DC live with my 325e. All I can say is wow! Talk about an Amazon listening experience. I was using my X3ii / e12a stack.

Any other live rock CDs anyone can recommend?

Kinda late but Alice in Chains Unplugged will blow your mind. Incredible recording.

Yes, I have none of the equipment I mentioned in the post anymore. But I will try the album suggestion with my latest setup.

Thanks!

My Little Dot 1+ and my 325e are getting along nicely.

Richard Betts - Highway Call sounds Devine through these cans. Just right!

My 325e's will be here tomorrow. I'm very excited to have purchased a pair from a fellow Headfier. My sights were on the 225 mainly for cost. but the 325e's came up for less than a new pair of the 225e's. I'll hold off on pad mods for now.

 

[Gordhifi]

Everything I expected. 2 hours last night no fatigue, no clamping. Very revealing. I'm still deeply evaluating them and I'll let you know how they are for me.

A little late for the party but….

The 325e series is the best headphones I’ve ever owned. Straight from the box they were fantastic and although they have more bass than the 325is, still didn’t fully satisfy me. The tape mod solved all of that but it was a bit of trial and error in the process. With the tape all the way around the mids and bass did seem too full, but not going all the way around brought in the air it needed to bring back the mids and highs just perfect.


Kickdrums hit where I can feel it, Basslines are thick and lush without going overboard. I always look forward listing to music because of these guys. A little headphone amp + LP 24/192 files …oh my, unamped with mp3 sounds excellent too.

Grado made of hell of a gem with these 325e’s
