## Overview

The Grado SR125e Prestige Series Open Backed Headphone is the latest iteration of Grado's acclaimed 'e' series, featuring advanced sound technology, a non-resonant air chamber, and high-quality copper components for an unparalleled audio experience.

## Description

Product Description          Grado's ability to combine lightness with extreme rigidity and internal damping has been put to good use on the SR125i earphones. Based on the same design as the SR80i headphones, the SR125i headphones also features a further improved driver and cable design utilising UHPLC (Ultra-high purity, long crystal) copper voice coil wire. With the new 8 conductor cable design you will notice improved control and stability of the upper and lower range of the frequency spectrum, with both better supporting Grado's world renowned midrange clarity. Again the driver's diaphragms are put through a special 'de-stressing' process in order to enhance inner detail. Bass, midrange and treble are all more open and you will enjoy the fine tonal spread and balance.             Box Contains          1 pair of SR125e headphones

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a pair of 10 year old sr80s and wish to to find comparisons to the new SR325E, having difficulty getting to a supplier.**
A: Thanks for the enquiry, we sell both through our Newcastle and Carlisle stores and you are welcome to have a demo if you are in the area. The 325's are a huge leap in my opinion more depth more detail and a much improved sense of scale. Kind Regards, Matthew

**Q: How do these compare with Senheisser HD 650s?**
A: Completely different. I don't own the Sennheiser but by their reputation they are a neutral, accurate headphone highly rated for their audiophile qualities and prized for their performance with Classical and Jazz. The Grado line is regarded as having a more raw, 'exciting' sound recommended with Rock/Pop. I guess those reputations are slightly caricatured, but you're asking about two sets of headphones with a completely different design and sound approach. If you're stepping up from cheaper headphones and don't already know that you like the Grado sound, I think that most people with a lot of headphone experience would say that the Sennheiser are a better choice for you; they are very highly regarded all-rounders.

**Q: Cable length**
A: 12" (30cm) from each earpiece to cable junction, 55" (140cm) from cable junction to jack plug.

**Q: I have a set of sr325e headphones, they sound very tinny and pop a lot. i've had drivers replaced but still sound the same. is it a fault?**
A: Possibly, but there's a whole load of other things that might be wrong. You mention drivers so presumably being played on a PC, MAC, Tablet, Phone?
Have you tried the headphones on a different device? Have you tried different headphones (or even earphones) on the same device?
If the popping persists on a different device then probably the earphones at fault. Also what software is being used to play the audio?

    A Brilliant Pair of Headphones
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2015*

I am a very big fan of Grado headphones and this the 5th pair I have purchased. I have used other brands but always seem to return to Grado as in my view they offer an excellent balance of comfort, performance and price.This is my second pair of the 125 series. The previous pair was the older 125i model. I have used cheaper and more expensive Grado models vs the 125 model but I consider this model to be an excellent price/performance balance for computer/ipod listening.I do not notice a big performance difference with this new e series vs the older model other than they seem a little mellower/smoother with the sound. The new e model does come with the 3,5mm PC jack vs the 125i, which had the HiFi 6.35m jack.  However, both models give a really smooth, clear sound.  I listen to a lot of rock music on my ipod and you get a very clean bass sound with the 125 model. I consider there is a step change in quality moving from the SR80s to the 125 model and paying this extra for the 125s is a good investment.Like all headphones that are open they leak sound like a sieve so they need to be managed in public places. However, some sensible management of this situation does not distract from the pleasure of owning these headphones.In conclusion, a brilliant pair of headphones and fully recommended.

    Excellent quality and detail. Bright side of neutral. Not for all music types or equipment.
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2021*

I’ve left it a few months before writing a review.Initially I was horrified by how bright they were, but having let them “burn in” for a while (month+) they now sound amazing. I haven’t got any real experience with audiophile headphones, but it’s hard to imagine anything could sound better at this price.They are definitely on the brighter side of neutral and the level of detail you hear is Amazing. Instruments and drums sound real. There is bass there, but only when it should be. I don’t think you’d like these if you listen to music that requires a lot of bass.Initially I listened via an Audiolab M-DAC Nano and you had to have the volume quite high to get a satisfying level of bass, but now I listen to the same DAC via an old NAD 3020 amp and the bass sounds perfect and just as detailed as the highs.1 star for noise cancellation is a little unfair because these aren’t noise cancelling headphones, they’re opened backed by design, so you can hear stuff around you and anyone around you can hear what you listen to.I wouldn’t call them comfortable, but I wouldn’t call them uncomfortable either. It feels just like I’m wearing headphones. They’re on ear not over ear headphones which is a disadvantage.All in all they are exceptional headphones, but whether you’d like them is going to depend on the type of music you listen to and what equipment you listen to them on.

    fantastic sound,shame about the cable length.
  

*by B***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2016*

As usual the sound quality is fantastic, which you come to expect from grado, and I see that the cable is now a lot thicker which should stop it from twisting (that was a big problem with the sr125i series, well actually with all the i series from what i could see) however I do have one gripe, and that is the length of the cable, it must only be about 5 foot long,  the i series was about 6 foot long and I thought that was short, if they make it any shorter I will have to sit on my hi fi system when I play it, i think this might be a ploy to buy there extension cable that was about £30 a shot a couple of years back, but then again maybe I am getting cynical in my old age.
