Quite right, Cybermen have such good taste ....

This leads me back to my original thought, I got to audition a lot of headphones, keep in mind the Q701 is not voiced like the 701.
They where used to mix Michael Jacksons Thriller album. They make vocals pop and bass is fast ,really fast like sound labs bigger 845's.
I am not saying they are perfect, my favorite headphones have yet to be invented but they don't do a single thing wrong, they are made well in Austria not China.
They fit and feel good on your head, I can wear them all night long. and they are very articulate, big open sound stage, vocals to die for, the upper octaves are not harsh and bass is ample tight and very fast with enough resolve to hear different layers when an electric organ and bass guitar are being played at the same time. In there price range they don't have any misgivings and had better resolve than a lot more expensive cans and did not use up all the headphone amp to be there best.
And by simply clicking in a better cable they are well suited to long runs, up to 20ft.

Question, I have a little dot 1+ Which headphones would be a good match, I currently have grado sr325 with walnut cans. Never had anything else so don't know what I'm missing.

The Grado 325 are good, I've had a pair.
Plus points are they have a decently open and spacious sound, and are fast, detailed and transparent with excellent dynamics.
Minus points (for me) are lack of comfort, high levels of sound leakage and a rather forward and bright sound.
If you enjoy the sound I'd recommend staying with them and trying new earpads which are vastly more comfortable and also bridge the gap in terms of sound quality with the more upmarket Grados like the 1000 series.

EDIT:
Here's an excerpt from an Amazon user of the earpads on 325 'phones. I agree with it.
"These pads are seriously worth the crazy price, trust me! ...... I read somewhere that John Grado does not recommend these pads for anything but the SR1000 or PS1000, stating only those models are tuned for them. After trying them for myself however I can honestly say I believe it's because of how incredible these pads make the smaller models sound.
Admittedly I have yet to try these pads on my SR60is, but on the SR325i the improvement is staggering. The added distance from the ear means the headphones need to be driven at a slightly higher volume, but the increase in soundstage is monumental. Comfort as well is finally a word I can associate with my Grados! "

I bought some over ear pads from Amazon USA and got someone on lenco to send them to me because they wouldn't post to uk. Very comfy but made the bass boomy. Ended up with them half on my ears to sound good. The original foam pads were like wearing a hair shirt, couldn't keep them on for very long. Those ones on Amazon uk are a bit pricey, I bought some on a recommendation from eBay, cheap foam ones that are ok.
