It's been 6 months I use it, and I listen to each m'extasie yet the musical quality of this headphone! With its intimate, charming, and return all the details, a spatialization of the different sound elements super accurate, look great (plain, light and robust, and comfortable too), a 32 ohm impedance that allows it to pass over everything that has a headphone jack, this headset has it all really ...
He has received several awards, and he deserves.
What I like least ... uh ... the sound is crystal clear, so he must to be careful if you use it to mix (it is recommended not to mix that headphone for that matter, children) because they may be disappointed after .. . The other thing that is no longer a failure now is that it has a jack 6'35 (and not a 3'5), so that I had to buy the adapter Grado 6'35 to 3'5, which still costs € 25 ... But now I can use it without problem on my portable CD, MD, my Mac, and my digital piano, and he assures donf without having to push the volume. Attention is an open headphone, it is not isolated from outside noise, and it is not suitable for the sound in the studio. it's a headset in a quiet environment, but what fun!
Before, I had a Sennheiser HD500, which I was never happy, and when he passed away, I could change it.
Budget max: 200 €
I had a choice between equivalent "civil" in the Sony MDR 7509 (I can not remember the reference), Beyer DT 770 (closed), Beyer DT 880 (open), and I did not want to Sennheiser, too expensive and too fragile y'avait shure ear headphones too.
I focus on sound quality and versatility: the farewell Beyer, who seem really good, but the high impedance can not be used on portable devices, they need a special headphone amp to enjoy all the sound qualities. The shure looks good, but apparently it can hurt the ears in force, and also pays the small size and brand. A bit like the Sony, where you pay the brand as well, despite its high quality and impedance of 28 ohm. I then discovered the GRADO SR125, and there was the best headphone: numerous awards, a unique sound, 32ohm impedance, which is a registered américine a disaster in the United States, but is deliberately (and unfortunately for us) not exported. But look hard enough, I found a site where to order it for € 180 including postage.
Quality / price ratio: in the States you have for much less (less than € 150), but to choose between paying the Sony logo or pay the import, I preferred to import, and I do not regret all. This is a headphone full of life, that made me love again music and headphones. The sound is super dynamic, spaced, clear, precise, music is present and alive.
With experience, yes, I would do this choice, or I will take the SR 225, which seems to have a more neutral (best suited for the mix?). But I quibble here ...
In concluion, this headphone is an excellent alternative to traditional brands, because it is robust, a very high quality, a must for portable audio players, and finally not so expensive ... And you will not regret it, a truly exceptional listening pleasure.
