I sure miss Grado. I had an SR325is that i destroyed when i tried to mod them, i highly regret it.
I tried Sennheisers (i owned HD 598 and now HD 380 Pro), and for me they always sounded dry and lifeless regardless of amp and recording. For my ears they lack the nuance of music, the visceral impact of the dynamics and naturalness in the midrange. There must be something behind John Grado's drivers that makes music so full of life and nuances, like if the mic is in front of you no matter the source.
Because of my experience and personal taste, henceforth i only want to give a try to another Grado and perhaps Stax. Grado because of their realism and musicality, and Stax because... there's must be something about them, i only heard good things about them and i can't not give them a try someday, hopefully.
Well, that is. Maybe i'd go with an RS2e or PS1000e for my ultimate headphone.
