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).
