Verdict

The Grado SR325is is an open-back, supra-aural headphone featuring 45mm dynamic drivers matched within 0.05dB, a frequency response of 18Hz–24kHz, 32-ohm impedance, and 98dB sensitivity. Characterized by its retro aluminum housings and a genuine leather headband, it delivers a transparent, fast sound with a crystalline treble and a forward, buttery midrange that excels in vocal and rock genres. Main pros include its wide soundstage, exceptional detail retrieval, and high efficiency that allows it to be easily driven by portable devices without dedicated amplification. However, its on-ear design and stiff foam pads can cause physical fatigue during long sessions, the heavy 8-conductor cable is non-detachable and prone to twisting, and its open architecture offers zero isolation from external noise.
