Theyre are designed as fashion accessories, not quality headphones.

Im not a skullcandy marketer, all i posted was a detailed description of my headphones, not some poor description like the others. And who wants some gay other pair of headphones nobody has ever heard about? we dont the the clearest sound we have ever heard for the very liking of us. We want stylish, branded good quality headphones like skullcandy.

Koss PortaPro are retro. i love em there style hasnt changed for 25 years but sound quality is epic!!! for the price they are the best

You've never listened to quality headphones. Inb4 he comes up with a list of headphones he's "used" by making a google search for audiophile headphones.

So I FINALLY found a real audio store down south in the US. To my dismay, they carried only grados, no AT's, no Denons, or beyers, or akgs. However, after listening to tracks both through their amps and direct from my phone, I was extremely impressed with their performance.

We were down in Atlanta for a college visit so we stopped by. Audio Alternative's the name for anyone curious and in the area.

Well....my mom actually urged me to just (rough translation) "BUY A PAIR OF FUCKING HEADPHONES ALREADY AND STOP RESEARCHING" So under such pressure, I dropped all the money I'd been saving up on the 325is's. The 225i's were probably the better value by far, but I've always been a sucker for better materials (sound was slightly better too).

Yeah....

Other than the comfort, they are great so far. Everything sounds more natural than on my Triple.fi's. Totally different feel to the music.

Pads are horrible right now though. I'm not completely sure if I'm even wearing them at the right place. Like should I place them with the rim of the pads right on the edge of my ears or a bit beyond that? Changing positions changes the sound quite a bit.

I plan on getting the G Pads eventually though. But they are 45 bucks. After pretty much clearing my savings. Anyone else have grados?

I've never heard of grados. All i have currently are these in-ears called "Koss" they are surprisingly nice for $32 bucks lol.

I think I'ma cry. Grado is a really solid company for headphones (and cartridges...)

I'm not a huge fan of grados (I hate them), but a LOT of people love the sound.

Guitar sounds really interesting out of them; really gritty.

I'm not a huge fan of the 325's treble but there are plently of people who like it.

Nice one man

RE: Comfort. There are comfy pads available from grado for something like $15. Not sure if the 325 come with them default, you'll have to check.

You can flex the headband a bit (you dont need much) to improve comfort a lot. I generally put grados on the "lower half" of my ears, if that makes sense, like when you put them on (or when I do) in my "natural position" I find it really hurts the upper and of my ears so i push it down a tiny bit more.

I have Koss UR-18 now, they're rather cheap~35$ and they sound nice

Some people recommend Alessandros instead. (Alessandros are based on Grados) probably because they're cheaper and have minor modifications, supposedly to make them even better.
I have never tried Grados but I've read good things about them.
