What is the opinion of Reddit about the
GRADO SR225e Prestige Series Wired Open-Back Stereo Headphones?

Fuck beats indeed.

For 200 I don’t think you can get a less hype-more sound for your buck headphone than Grado. (Never advertised, made in america, good customers service, like they serviced my 6 year old headphones for free customer service)

Solid state yes. Tubes have a distinct sound and if you like that you should get it. It is usually recommended to get a solid state first but that’s not the way I did it. Any Grados would probably fit your needs. Buy a pair of these http://www.amazon.com/Grado-Prestige-Series-SR225e-Headphones/dp/B00L1NZTSS
The 225es I have never heard but I like the grado sr80i. They have the same distinct grado sound. You also won’t need an amp for these. Have you ever had any high end headphones before?

Grados are made specifically for those types of genres, check out the SR225e: http://www.amazon.com/Grado-Prestige-Series-SR225e-Headphones/dp/B00L1NZTSS/ref=pd_sim_23_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0W4PCA8SZV21P2H99BTN

Grado SR255e headphones as well as a Bravo Audio Tube Headphone amp.
