After many years of being put off grados by reviews saying they were uncomfortable and harsh,i just got some SR80i,s worth a go for £100,i thought.
They are the most comfy phones i have ever owned,with not a trace of harshness,even with Miles Davis,must be because i am over 60

They make my other phones sound broken(HD595,Proline750).
You all know whats coming next,,,
After a month i,m thinking whats next,325i,s or RS2,s I would like a bit more detail without loosing that beautiful sharp attack of the guitars.(frank zappas solo on "dont eat the yellow snow".

The sr80s will stay for the walkman,but something better will be nice for my main system,any advice will be helpful. Cheers.

PS1000?

I could pretty much say the same thing too. I've been a Senn supporter for yonks. Finally broke down and got in line for a HF-2 earlier tonight. The next week or two are gonna be pure TORTURE waiting for it to show up.

and dude, it didn't take long for the ultra expensive suggestions to show up at all huh!! What's ur budget Wallace? If you got $ to burn certainly look into the GS/PS-1000, RS-1/2s, or the HP-1/2s.

Go straight for the RS-1.. you will eventually, might as well save yourself some money with all the inbetween steps

Or maybe the HF-2 but I'd wait on reviews on that one first

x2 Go straight for the RS-1

I am a UK pensioner, so can only buy what i can slip by her in doors as housekeeping,therefore SR325i,s might be my only option,just want to know if they might be worth it.

They are worth it.. as long as the upgraditis doesn't strike you again later, but Grados hold their value well, especially in Europe from what I hear

By the way, 325is has slightly different sound to other Grado like your 80i, it maybe brighter.

Upto £350 retail- shot up in price. Mate paid £180 for 325i's ages ago.

 

[SleepyOne]

About £280 on e-shop.

 

[Blackmore]

So, its like gbp280=usd430 > buy used RS2.

You can order HF-2 directly from TTVJ, and Todd offer 30 days return if you don't like it, or it can be sold easily on FS forum after 30 days, so there isn't much risk of ordering it now.

£270 (as of today's exchange rate) for a pair of limited edition Grado and without paying the premium to local distributor, it is a nice deal.

otherwise, used pair of RS1 from FS forum.
