Open-Back Design

Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.


However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.


These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.

Amazing pairs

These are serious pair of headphones. Amazing vocals and highs, tight bass. Actually the best vocals i have ever heard. Good for 1-2 hrs of listening. (Not the most comfortable pairs). Airy and nice wide sound stage.

More resolution than the SR80e

The stock L pads seem to tone down the ‘standard’ Grado bright sound to a slightly punchier low end and smoother mids/highs. I upgraded from the SR80e, so I am used to the quite urgent sound the stock S pads produce; thankfully, I ordered spare S pads so I can actually test and feel the upgrade of the drivers.

The braided finish on the cables somewhat assures me that they will not fray or break at the joints. My SR80e have served me well, and the cable broke only after daily abuse for 4 years. Let's hope this change extends the life of the cable.

Overall, this product is definitely an upgrade over the SR80 in terms of soundstage and resolution, and listening through it using my beloved S pads guarantees that I walk away feeling the shimmering highs of contentment, and that my day is off to a happy start :)

Hey there, nothing makes us happier than knowing you loved your purchase, hope you had a comfortable shopping experience and thank you for the great review and ratings!

Not very Comfortable...

Cushion not very comfortable. Sound is superb.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you didn't find the Grado SR225x cushions very comfortable. The sound is certainly superb, but we hope that you'll find a more comfortable pair of earphones in the future.
