The Official Grado 325i Owners Club.
Jan 19, 2012 at 1:32 PM Post #2,462 of 3,640
Hello,
 
I am the happy owner of Sr325is #1121.
 
Mac Mini > Apogee Duet > sr325is.
 
I am looking for a portable solution between my Ipod and the Sr325... maybe HP-P1, Iqube, Ibasso D12 or Nuforce udac-2... or others?

 I imagine people who prefer Senns and the like would calling them "ear-bleeding" or "ear-shredding."



I just picked up a pair today, and I love them.
 
I have a set of Sennheiser HD650s....and while they're probably a better all around, "safe" headphone.....the 325is to my ear really sparkle with the right material!

I would prefer either the D12 or iQube (with or without DAC) as great combinations to the SR325. Remember if you like the comfort of the HD414 pads but miss the sound of the original pads you can cut a hole in the middle at the size of a big coin. :)

-[size=large]Please discuss these awesome headphones and register your serial number. .[/size]

[size=medium]The 325i are individually numbered underneath the bowl pads.
The number will be scratched in to the black plastic.

Sometimes it's hard to read.

------------------------------------------------------------

[size=small]First some information:[/size]


-[size=small]The original Golden 325i was Released in Early 2005 for grado's 50th Aniversary.
Based on the sr325, but with "an improved driver design"[/size]


The following is taken from Zanth's interview with John Grado thread .....

"[size=x-small]The i in the 325i stands for improved and the reason for John revisiting this model was two-fold.
The first was because it is the 50th anniversary of Grado Labs and he wanted to do something special this year.
The second and far more interesting for us, is that he felt that it was considered the weak link in the line-up.
He set out to improve it by upgrading the driver with a newly designed model
He also improved the mass distribution as well as decreasing resonance."[/size]



In early 2009, Grado Discontinued The gold 325i and instead released a headphone called 325is.
They also reset the serial #'s to 0.

I think someone got a pair of HD650's for 10 dollars (posted earlier on the forums)

I was pretty set on getting a pair of HD650s before finding out about these, now I'm in a bind, lol. I pretty much only listen to metal with some Post Rock thrown in for good measure, do these really play to the stengths of those genres, or is it basically preference? If it helps at all, they'll be going through an XDA-1 and Schiit Asgard.

I had mine for a few months now. #6463 with the chrome (shiny) finish. Not a big fan of the chrome finish, I really like the brushed metal look of the older 325is.
I did the tape mod for the bowls....planning to try the flat pads as well.
 
Enjoying some Gojira with 'em as I type this \m/.........

What's the difference between the 325is with the chrome and brushed finish?  Anything?
