Whatever you want. Portability, size, etc.
The best Grados, IMO, aren't Grados, but the Symphones Magnums mod of the 325is/MS2i, which I reckon are better in some ways, than the HD-800s which are twice the price.
I gotta go with my friend from Philly on this too.
Well I just ordered a set of 225's from Headroom along with a 1/4 to 1/8th adapter. First impressions soon.

Is he still around though? I heard he was AWOL.
What about amped versus unamped Grados? It sounds like the lower ones work fine without an amp, but some have a significant difference with amps.
Naa, just had sucky timing when he forgot to renew his domain at the very moment he had a shipping issue. Running a one-man manufacturing business while also having a full-time job is hard work. I have been chatting and encouraging him via email as what he produced is excellent and I reckon he deserves to succeed.
Enjoy! Don't be afraid to switch the pads from the 60's you already have with the 225's. You will find a large part of the sonic differences are due to the earpads. My initial impression was that I perferred the sound with the flat comfy pads which I swapped from my 80's, but I later warmed up to the sound the bowls gave. When I get my replacement 225s (out for delivery today...yay!!!) I'm going to experiment with the "tape around the bowls" mod to see how much it enhances the bass.
I too look forward to your impressions.

Congrats. Good luck. I hope you enjoy them. I can't wait to read your impressions.
PS1000s!!! Graceful, non-fatiguing, detailed and exciting all at the same time. Can be your only phones.
