Experience True IntimacyThe new e-Series version of the Grado SR225 Prestige Series headphone continues the evolution from the original model SR225 through the award-winning SR225i to the latest enhanced version, the SR225e. It just keeps getting better and better. Allow yourself to experience true intimacy with your favorite artists with the SR225e. Grado's traditional open-back design features enhanced airflow through the rear metal grill and reproduction that is the definition of high fidelity, engaging you with crystal clear spatial placement. The SR225e boasts an innovative diaphragm and UHPLC (Ultra-high purity, long crystal) copper wire voice coil specially designed for increased bass response and a larger perceived sound stage. The diaphragms are put through a special 'de-stressing' process in order to enhance inner detail. "An Amazingly Solid Presentation""The SR225s sound unlike any other headphone. They have an amazingly solid presentation, packed with weight and presence," reports England's What Hi-Fi? magazine. "There is also a pleasant richness in the midrange that benefits all types of music," "Music flows through this headphone organically and believably, with irrepressible dynamics and bounce," reports issue 163 of Hi-fi Choice magazine. "It gives good expression to the dynamics and the 'shape' of the music, much as some valve amplifiers do when compared to their more literal solid-state transistor cousins." The SR225e DifferenceThis SR225e has sizable rear air flow through a metal screen while utilizing Grado's larger ear cushion and closely matched drivers. The result is a broad soundstage free from colorations. The way the SR225e's new driver, cable and plastic housing move air and react to sound vibrations is virtually unaffected by transient distortions. Bass, midrange and treble are all more wide open and you will enjoy the fine tonal spread and balance. The SR225e will produce a sound that is pure Grado, with warm harmonic colors, rich full bodied vocals, excellent dynamics, and an ultra-smooth top end. "What these 'phones do surpassingly well is present each track in its own volume of air so that the character of the voice or instrument is timbrally distinct in the mix," notes Lang Phipps in Listener magazine. "I can almost picture the engineer pushing the fader up to isolate the part I'm focused on."
"Music flows through this headphone organically and believably, with irrepressible dynamics and bounce." "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 aggression… These Grados are hard to beat!" - Hi-Fi Choice magazine "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, Hi-Fi News & Record Review magazine "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."

I can almost picture the engineer pushing the fader up to isolate the part I'm focused on. I understand that one part of the Grado magic is building a rigid structure around the dynamic driver to damp resonances." - Lang Phipps, Listener magazine |
