Best Grado Over the Head Headphones

the 225s have revealed a completely unknown layer of instrumentation in some of my favorite beck tracks -- i don't just mean there's a new cello back there: i mean there's a flute, a panpipe, a

at any rate, the fact that i did not go to the trouble of tracking additional cushions down is evidence that the headphones, out of the box, are more than bearable, but they never do go beyond that

the cable is nice and sturdy.

yes, you may have to put the volume up 2-5 notches for cds or mp3 cds but that is negligible and depends on the recorded media.

i use these headphones walking around town, and on the bus, and they are great.

ears don't get hot and sweaty.

the bass is unusually good, and the efficiency is high (meaning they work great with portable cd players and mp3 players).

at first we thought product was defective but upon further examination the ipod we were using has an crappy connector and these headphones work great

the foam earpieces are replaceable which is handy if you're jumping around and sweating while your jammin'.

there is a flip-side though - any mp3 file encoded below 128kbps sounds like trash.

with the sr80's the weight is reasonably low, there's no vinyl skin covering the foam ear pads that gets hot and uncomfortable (not to mention sweaty) with extended wear, and the headband doesn't try

this gives it an overall more "sturdy" look than the sr-60.

yes you can also use the 325i's with a pocket mp3 player - but they are a bit wasted on them, i have a pair of much cheaper grado sr-80's which love mp3 players and sound just great even on more

i also listened to the song "walking in memphis" by marc cohn.

they also sport a leather headband.

listening to blondie's "heart of glass" remix (an mp3 download converted into a .wav file and burned to a cd), sounded great!
