I'm not sure what they were thinking with the SR225i. I found them unbearably bright, sound-wise. And really, really uncomfortable. Something about having the drivers so close to my ears with the bright Grado sound is way too much for me. (I admit I may be used to the darker sound of Sennheisers, since I beat a $40 pair of them into the ground and loved them.)
I've been dragging my feet selling them. Now I kind of want to. Thanks. :)
I was listening to a lot of progressive metal at the time, so "the Grado sound" worked really well. But I would agree that they don't have the best sound for a broad range of music.
