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.

...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!
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".

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.
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.
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.

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.
