These headphones are basically Grado’s best selling 325s with an upgraded driver design and a touch of bling. Complete with gold trim – well, it is Grado’s golden anniversary – the styling might be an acquired taste but the sound produced is unrepentant brilliance.
Wired for sound
There’s no stray noise in the earphone chamber thanks to the use of UHPLC wire in the voice coil and connecting cord, and aluminium alloy in the metal driver housings. This means these headphones will treat you to a vivid sound that bristles with detail and dynamics – provided your source isn't an iPod brimming with with super-lossy MP3s.
Most of the oppositiuon barely hints at the kind of bass power these SR325i cans can deliver with ease. So whether you like hard-charging hip-hop or sweeping classical symphonys these Grados are up to it.
Minimal padding
The only downside – and we’re really clutching at straws here – is that they’re not super-comfy. This is because the padding has been kept to a minimum. But once you realise that a pari of speakers with similar sonic ability will set you back at least three grand, the SR325i's price tag doesn't look so excessive. For those who want to go the extra mile, there's always the range-topping RS1s.

these headphones are so sweet and just open up any music you have to a whole new level. The bass is very defined and not as harsh as with some cheaper cans but its in mid range where these excel. You can hear every little bit of the reording. Obviously better from a higher bit rate source or lossless direct from cd thru a high end set up but even through ipod are surprisingly effective. Expensive but oh so very worth it and if you search online you can pick them up for much cheaper than that oh so scary £310 rrp. Mine were just £220. worth noting that cable is short and that u need an adaptor to take the plug down to ipod 3.2mm size. overall tho these headphones will just open any music you have up to a new level.
