Grado SR-125 Professional Headphones

Pros: Fast, accurate, revealing, do not require a headphone amplifier
Cons: Expensive, uncomfortable over long periods of time, slightly bright, can be fatiguing.

Introduction I have long been a fan of headphones. I greatly enjoy listening to music. Sometimes, I need to listen to music. Many times, other people are sleeping or studying when I want to listen to music, so headphones are a must. ...

Pros: GREAT value, incredible sound, good portability for such high-quality phones...
Cons: Construction is a little shabby, some people may have comfort problems with these...

First off, I want to say that I'm not somebody who just bought these things and am scrambling to write a review about them; I've had these beauties for a while, and I'm finally buckling down to write about them. In fact, I have a pair of RS-1s on order,...

Pros: Good sound , good value
Cons: need an adapter to use them portably:>(

The Grado 125 is the first in the Grado line that approaches true audiophile sound. It has better detail than the SR-60 or SR-80. The highs are much more realistic - not the sparkly highs of the lower cost units. Midrange is a bit recessed but dynamic...

Pros: Great sound for the price.
Cons: Not for long sessions. Cord only 6'.

Bought those recently as a final upgrade to my audio setup. They replace a pair of horrible Sony wireless (MDR RF 960R). I'll never buy wireless cans again : some things are meant to stay attached. First, as the title suggests they are not for ...

Pros: Mind-blowing amount of detail revealed
Cons: Exagerated high frequencies

These were my first quality phones. The amount of detail revealed is flabbergasting. Normal studio monitors and proffesional headphones are like really clean crystals to look through, while the Grado phones are like quantum-effect microscopes, revealing ...

Pros: Warm, consistently detailed presentation.
Cons: High end harsh at times, bass can muddy at higher volumes.

Anyone who has listened to Grado's line of 'phones knows that they are a great way to completely sever yourself from the outside world for a short time. The 125's are no exception. They are extremely detailed for the price and can deliver a punch at...

Pros: Clarity; A great upper register
Cons: Best when used in a quiet room.

Other reviews here seem pretty accurate, but don't provide a context as to what kind of recording or performance was considered to be 'warm' or 'bass heavy' or have 'too much treble.'

I am a classical music lover and have listened to enough...

Pros: Definition, overall balance, a lot of headphone for the price, comfort really not that bad.
Cons: No 1/8" adaptor, earpieces tend to rotate around their axis, so cable needs straightening.

The opinions i read on the net where very helpful for me in choosing a pair of headphones, so this is payback time.
I have had a top notch sound system for a number of years, so i know what i want. I needed headphones for my computer, so i can...

Pros: Excellent sound
Cons: Nothing! :)

There are no adjectives that can accurately describe the sound that this headphone produces. The sound is rich, balanced, and soft-- you feel like you can listen to it for hours without your ears getting tired.

The detail is outstanding....

Pros: Excellent sound for the price!
Cons: Bass can be overbearing and interfere with midrange. Uncomfortable on ears after an hour.

It's a given that Grado cans, while not "street stylish" or hip in the looks department, offer the very best in price/performance and cost-effectiveness, especially in the $60 - $200 range.

Basically, the standard one should use when...

Pros: Quality contruction, stout cables.
Cons: Over-accentuated highs, short cable, very uncomfortable (read: a sandpaper vise for your skill)

At the time of this review, I'd been using my Grado SR-125 cans for just over a year, and just switched to a pair of Sennheiser HD-600s. The difference is like night and day; both in comfort and sound. The Grado SR-125s exaggerate high-frequency ...

Pros: Crystal clear, colorful sound reproduction. Work well with portable devices.
Cons: Not good for noisy places. Slightly flat base.

I recently purchased the Grado-SR 125's and I have been grinning from ear to ear ever since. These are the "middle-of-the-road" headphones from Grado Labs, but the SR 125's are light years ahead of the high-end headphones you might find at a...

Pros: tight bass, clear highs/not colorful, transportable, compatible to use with portable CD player, and much more...,
Cons: ear discomfort for awhile but could be remedy by bending the wires a little bit until you don't feel the pressure and the burning sensation on your ears

Hi Everyone!
Before you buy anything, I would recommend to try it first before you commit on buying them. Alright, lets get to the point! It took me at least a week to decide which headphone I really like to buy. Every single day I kept on going...

Pros: Theres not enough space! ;-)
Cons: None

Okay, I'm going to keep this short, sweet and very much to the point. SWEET JUMPIN MARY AND JOSEPH, THESE HEADPHONES ARE UNBELIEVABLE !!! Drop everything and get a pair.. You wont regret it!!!!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! You'll hear things...

Pros: Lightweight,portable
Cons: sound leakage

I was looking to upgrade my current headphones. I have been using a pair of Sony v6's for many years and since they were so old, I thought that there would be an improvement with something new. Well I may be in the minority here but I was not impressed...
