Pros
- Love that SR325x, it’s the best execution of Grado so far!
- The SR325x is an absolute beauty. It’s a significant improvement over my old MS1i, both in terms of build quality and sound clarity. The Grado sound signature is timeless and never fails to impress. They feel like a piece of art on my desk.
Cons
- Headband isn't really a problem but the pads are, unfortunately pad-rolling changes the sound too much.
- I really like how they sound and they do look nice in my opinion, the comfort on the other hands is unfortunately lacking and the cable... Well, I don't think I've ever encountered a worse cable on a headphone in my whole life.
- This was my experience as well. Every comfortable pad I found changed the sound so much that I might as well be using a different headphone.
- The problem is: they are horribly uncomfortable. They push against my glasses in a way the S pads simply don't. I think the weight of the cable and metal casing only makes it worse too (I hate the cable).
