If they are new they may need to break in, sometimes up to 75 hours.
If you have rocked out at too much volume they may have been damaged...
You could ask at head-fi.org or call Grado in the Bronx...
Good luck!

gotcha, I have maybe 10 hours on them, didn't know it took so long to settle, thanks for the feedback. The SR60s I got over a decade ago sounded pretty good out of the box, so I was a little bit worried.

325's are the toughest, 4 years ago mine sounded good for a week but then
fell out! I am stubborn so I waited, having numerous other phones,
and they finally came around and sound great :)

Hah, I got a Rick Ross mix channel going, put a pillow on top as I have a small place and want to spend today listening to my main system. I can put at least 10 hours on them today in that situation.

I had them going without a pillow on top but since they are open air it sounded as a gangster party was going on the next room over. Good to know about the 75 hours. Thanks
