Grado SR325 Professional Headphones

Pros: great clarity, nice bass, amazing midrange punch, very "up front" with great detail
Cons: brash until they're fully burned in

The Grado SR325 (now sold as the 325i) may well be the Jan Brady of the Grado product line. Brooklyn-based Grado Labs makes some of the world's finest cans but not on the cheap. Their flagship GS1000 costs a cool grand while the classic RS1 will set ...

Pros: Mids & Highs are detailed; Bass is good but not the best
Cons: 6 ft. cord is unconvenient for being portable (made for home use), pricey

Grado SR325 headphones provide excellent clarity for both high and mid range frequencies and also have good bass.

Back in November of 1999, I visited a local hi-fi store and had auditioned various headphones (Grado's SR125, SR225 & SR325...

Pros: Dynamic, clear, detailed, warm, natural, easy to drive
Cons: *Long* break in period. Not quite as comfortable as Senn's

This is the headphone who demands perfection in sound without going too overboard in price. This headphone is not cheap and may not look like much, but offers amazing sound for the money.

Once broken in, this is one amazing sounding...

Pros: Great dynamic range and balance, very efficient with portable players, deep bass
Cons: Less comfortable than other Grados, presence and clarity are a bit weak

I own two other Grado headphones, the SR60s and the SR125s. Based on my experience with those two models, and the general acclaim that the SR325is have received as the flagship of the Grado Prestige series, I found a good deal on-line and purchased a ...

Pros: Excellent IN YOUR FACE sound, Great eye blink Impact NO laid back sound
Cons: Pads can be A LITTLE uncomfortable...sometimes...

The Grado Sr325 just arrived this morning!!!! WOW!!!! I don't understand how some people think the sound will be improved through the break in period!!!!! I just don't get it, how can they sound any better than this??!!!! EXCELLENT BASS!!! liquid...

Pros: Brilliant clear fast sound, with excellent bass through to treble cohesion. No significant sonic weakness.
Cons: Not as comfortable as I would like - and that is it honestly.

If you like your headphones to reproduce whats on the source - whether 'old Vinyl' or CD,these headphones will not disappoint. They have good bass which is fast clear and no overhang or boom. The mid is articulate and with full harmonics and tone, they allows each inflection of the singers voice or musical instrument to be heard. Treble clear without being harsh. If you want deeper bass then other headphones can provide it, but none that I've listened to can provide the extra depth without resonance creeping in. Whilst the music is reproduced with incredible clarity it is not fatiguing.
The build quality is excellent.
The lead is a useful 2 meter long, so you don't have to sit on top of the HiFi, not so good if used with a portable whilst walking. But then why use headphones as good as these with a portable source when much less expensive headphone would be capable of reproducing the sound produced by such a source.
Only negative is lack of comfort, they are not actually uncomfortable but the ear pads are a little hard.
