SR225i

Open Back Headphones

Overview

SRP £295.00 GBP

Another open-back on-ear design; the features are the same as the SR125i headphones, new driver, cable and housing design. However, the SR225i earphones also benefits from an increased rear air flow, utilises Grado's larger ear cushion and has closer matched drivers, within an astonishing 0.05dB.

The improved metal rear screen increases air flow by 50%, freeing the headphone from colorations, whilst the use of closer matched drivers and the larger cushions results in an enlarged soundstage. The overall sonic improvement is unequivocal and the sound is, as always simply 'Grado'.

What Hi-Fi?

"When it comes to classical music, the Grados reproduce instruments with both believable timbre and solidity. The treble boosts fine detail and no hint of agression. ...these Grados are hard to beat!"

"The SR225s sound unlike any other headphone. They have an amazingly solid presentation, packed with weight and presence. There is also a pleasant richness in the midrange that benefits all types of music."

HI-FI News & Record Review

"Sounding very good at both low and high levels, these headphones are of reference quality both for the classical virtues of neutral frequency response and low coloration, as well as for their clarity and the high degree of listener involvement envoked."

- Martin Colloms
