Sounds like your ears acclimatized to it.

The RS2i's are better for me with Maiden, but my favourites for Maiden are my modded Denon AH-D5000's.

Ok, I think I might buy a pair in the next couple days

. I figure if I don't like them I can always resell them and downgrade to an SR225i.

I just got a 325is

Dickinson's vocals and the treble on the 325 might be a bit overpowering for some - I like the live Maiden tracks I ripped on the 325, and live Priest is absolutely outstanding (Halford probably has one of the best ranges in metal, then or now) - but its how good they sound with guitars that really does it for me. A mate put me on to DragonForce - now thats a band that isnt afraid to let the guitarists let rip on each and every track. The mighty axe solo lost favour with a lot of modern metal bands, but I'll take 'retro' over stuff like Metallica and Pantera any day of the week.

Judas Priest is a lot better with the 325is, especially, their last two albums, "Nostradamus" and "Angel of Retribution". Actually, all their recordings are more 325is friendly than the Maiden ones.

I'am gettings my Brand new SR325is in about a months time, really happy about it, mate any ideas of how I can make the most out of them on public transport.

 

[mark2410]

on public transport???? seriously???

either you plan to barely hear your music or your a bit of an inconsiderate **** for insisting everyone else near you should be hearing it too

you do realise they are totally open?

 

[kunalraiker]

i know they are but i need them on the train, i know the sennheiser px-100 are open to and everyone uses them on the train.

 

[sampson_smith]

But the PX100's aren't nearly as hi-fi a headphone as the SR-325is's. The latter should require your full concentration for all that it reveals to actually be appreciated. Extraneous noise will positively destroy the listening experience and introduce a lot of competing distractions. They are also waaaaay more open that the PX100's, which actually provide a small amount of isolation. Not to mention the Grado's are larger, have cumbersome cables, and scream "I'm high-profile and shiny and must be expensive! Come steal me!" I would save these for listening at home and get a pair of PortaPros or PX100's for the commute.

 

[mark2410]

need?

no you are choosing an open headphone, saying other people are knobs too is a rather poor defence

 

[jonathanjong]

what you need, kunalraiker, is a pair of closed cans and a measure of consideration.

 

[kunalraiker]

mate so porta pros , I don't know are they my best bet, i do know people through the forums that have used the sr 80's and 60's on their commute, or are they not as open as the 325is.

I know,its just that I would love to listen to the Grado's , and the commute is my only free time to do so.

 

[jonathanjong]

portapros aren't closed, but they won't leak as much.

why do you keep talking about other people? if they listen to very open cans in public, then they're inconsiderate too. i know people who smoke in public and spit in public and i once met this guy who pissed on the street. doesn't make it OK.

look, i can't tell you what to do. if you want to put your own interests before others', then fine, but recognize that that's what you're doing by commuting with Grados.

as a suggestion have a look into the FX500, its got a grado esq sound sig that may give you the sound you want but a tad more practical and considerate to others
