I use them anyway on my 325i.

Comfortable.

It's nice that different cups are available for the Grado headphones. I tried the G cups and preferred the stock ones. The G cups seemed huge on my ears and offered no additional comfort in my case.

I may be in the minority but I actually prefer the open light feeling of Grados vs some other headphones. I find the Grados to be very comfortable.

  That's cool.
  
  I just don't like pads pressing on my ears.

  I love the unique, feather-lite feeling of my Grado RS-1s with standard hollow earcups.
  The SR-325's might be the better bargain because they provide about 90% of the performance of the RS-1 for roughly 1/2 the $$$, but they are significantly heavier/less comfortable too.
  If anyone wants "heavy", the aluminum-bodied PS-1000 with G-Cups might very well be the boat anchor they are looking for...

    I must have been blessed with beginner's luck because I chose the RS1e w/o doing a lot of research. It was in the price range I was I searching for and I wanted wood. I didn't know these are lighter than some of the other Grados, like the aluminum ones you mentioned.

      The aluminum bodied SR-325s that I used to own felt like they weighed twice as much as my RS-1s do. The extra weight of the SR-325s was not a real big problem but the luxurious comfort of the RS-1s have spoiled me.
      And the RS-2s are even lighter than the RS-1s are, by a tiny margin.
