New 325is owner checking in (#10,684). I purchased the 80is and loved the Grado sound so much that I decided to return my M50s (which were no longer getting any desktop use) and upgrade from the 80is to the 325is. Still breaking them in, but loving the detail in my music (pairing them with the Audioengine D1 DAC/amp). I made the mistake, however, of auditioning the PS1000 today - wow. For $1700, though, I don't see myself making that jump any time soon. I did pick up a pair of the (G) pads and while I need to listen a bit more to determine whether there are any SQ improvements, the added comfortability is awesome.
All in all, I'm a happy camper. Still haven't listened to the RS1i yet, but I feel like that might be my next upgrade. I've read through some of the other threads discussing the differences between the RS1is and the 325is, but do any of you 325is owners have an opinion on whether it would truly be an upgrade or more of a preference in sound?
I was trying to get one of these. My friend has them, and they sound absolutly fantastic.
the rs1i is definitely an upgrade, same aggressive sound, but its not bright, its warm with a sweet smooth tone to it. better soundstage, bass, and about the same detail, maybe more transparency, or about the same.
Cool, thanks. I was able to audition basically every set of Grados the other day except the RS1i, which unfortunately is the one I would be aiming at if I wanted to upgrade. I did notice the RS2i had a warmer, smoother tone to it in comparison to my 325is, so I assume it has a bit to do with the wood cups. I wonder if I would be better off with just picking up some wood cups for my 325is. In lieu of that, do you think the upgrade to the RS1i is worth the extra dough?
