I have been able to head to head the 80, 125, and 325 at my local store. At first when I heard them straight through the headphone out of a Marantz CDP, I was not terribly impressed with any due to a harsh treble. Unamped the 80 was clearly inferior. I know Grado's are supposed to be easy to drive, but they had huge improvement when run through a meager Grado amp. Then they all sounded terrific, the trebles mellowed and bass grew tauter and fuller - and most important they all became musical.
The difference between the three became much less, though I thought the 125 was defitnitely worth the extra $. I agree the 325 was more lateral. It is also quite a bit heavier and thus less comfortable.
