Overview Details Customer Reviews Category Info Accessories Our take on the Grado SR225i by Dave Bar Get closer to the music Grado's SR225i headphones deliver the kind of dynamic impact and natural, uncolored sound that gets your toes tapping and keeps you listening to your tunes late into the night. They also give audiophiles and music lovers enhanced, low-level resolving power that helps uncover fresh details on familiar recordings. Offering incredible bang for the buck, these impressive performers neatly occupy the sweet spot at the corner of "affordable" and "fantastic." You can easily drive them using the headphone outputs on most home audio systems, and they even work great with your portable player or laptop using Grado's optional miniplug adapter. They also benefit nicely from the addition of a headphone amplifier. Born in Brooklyn and built to perform Each pair of SR225i headphones is still made right in Brooklyn, New York where the Grado family has been building award-winning audio gear for almost 60 years. Like all Grado headphones, the SR225i uses a vented "open-air" earcup design with large, non-resonant air chambers for powerful, extended low frequency response and a more open, spacious sound. Drivers on the left and right channels are carefully matched to within 0.05 dB of each other for precise stereo imaging. They also feature large ear cushions and improved rear metal screens with enhanced air flow, for a larger soundstage and wider frequency response. A beefy, eight-conductor connecting cable and ultra-high purity copper voice coils give these 'phones a refined, ultra-smooth top-end and dynamic, yet tightly controlled bass.

The large air chamber is designed to extend the bass response. Drivers: The diaphragm is made of a low mass polymer, developed with the compliance of the suspension in mind to achieve the desired low frequency response. The diaphragm's total mass is designed to provide a full 20 kHz bandwidth, while avoiding break-up at lower frequencies. High power neodymium magnets maximize efficiency and minimize weight. The left and right drivers are matched to within 0.05 dB for exact imaging. Voice Coil: The SR225i's voice-coils are wound from ultra-high purity, long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper. This high conductivity copper yields a clear transmission and minimizes coloration, resulting in smooth, clean and dynamic sound output.

Written By BigThrust, Charlottesville, VA on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 I walked into our local Crutchfield store and as usual I head straight for the outlet. Well, I could not believe it, a pair of Grado headphones in the outlet (super rare). Who would return a pair of Grado headphones and a pair of Grado SR225i no less. I have never owned a pair but knew of their legendary rep. The price was unbeatable ( you just don't find Grado headphones sold below retail too often). I went for it. I got the headphones home and noticed that the headphones were unused but also noticed that the headphones are configured with a 1/4 plug and not the more typical 3.5mm plug of today. I figured this is why the headphones were returned (oh well...my gain). I snapped on the audio adaptor (that I had on hand) and plugged the headphones into my iPad. OMG! The quality of the sound I was hearing was insane. I felt as though I was sitting in with the band. The lows are tight and true, the highs were clean and alive and the mid.....well the mid is where these headphones shine. Picture yourself standing next to the lead singer as they sing their song. The vocals come through like you would not believe. The crack of the snare is ever so present. Unbelieveable. If you want to hear it all and if you truly appreciate quality sound, It is worth spending the money for a pair of Grado SR225i headphones. Pros: Incredible sound quality that is hard to match for the price. Quality built in USA. Cons: Headphone style may not appear to some. Comfort is not bad but could be better. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Gotta Love the Grado Sound! Written By Beer Budget Audiophiles, Whittier, CA on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 I wish I knew about these cans sooner. I had some Bose Triports before these phones and still felt there was something missing sonically. The Grados put you right up on the stage and/or studio. Crisp highs, tight bass, and phenomenal mid range sounds eminate from these cans. Electric guitars sing with these phones. My musical taste is all over the place (rock, punk, pop, oldies, late 80s-90s hip hop), but my Grados can do all genres justice. Since they are low impedance, an iPod can drive them okay, but I would suggest a portable amp to really do these phones justice. I love my Grados and they will make you appreciate your music library all over again. 11 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. To start off.. I'm having a hard time concentrating enough to write this review because these headphones are so incredible. I'm not an audiophile, but I aspire to be one (being a recent grad there's not much room for spending) because audio quality means that much to me. With that being said, i'm going to give my best amateur review. First, if there is any company that I would rather call than place an order online, it's crutchfield. Incredible service. On to the headphones though.. Love the retro styling. I'm not lebron or kobe before a basketball game, so I don't care about how "fly" my headphones look. My initial reaction to listening to a live track of John Mayer's "gravity" in lossless format? I laughed. Yes, laughed. The reason being because I can't believe that these get better with time (break-in period is 300-500 hours supposedly). There is so much detail that i've never noticed in so many of these songs that it is getting a little ridiculous. You sound like you're jamming with the band up on stage! The lows, mids, and highs? Impeccable. Also, they're more than comfortable enough (i'm going on three hours at the moment). I really can't imagine these with a headphone amp (can't wait to get one eventually). Congrats to both grado and crutchfield. Keep doing what you do. Pros: Amazing quality. Tight lows, rich highs, and an incredible mid. Comfortable. USA.

5 out of 5 Sitting in with the band..... Written By BigThrust, Charlottesville, VA on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 I walked into our local Crutchfield store and as usual I head straight for the outlet.
