What customers say about "Key Specs"

Grado SR125i Prestige Series Headphones

They are open, which means I don't miss the dinner bell or the phone ringing.
They sound great, are very light, and, to shock some people, are rather comfortable.
After a break in period, they sound just fantastic to me.
Some of my jazz music never sounded that good on my modest equipment until now.
This inexpensive addition has really upgraded my listening pleasure.

Grado SR225i Prestige Series Headphones

These are the best sounding phones it's been my pleasure to listen to. Every spectrum of sound is wonderfully portrayed.
These headphones have a really wonderful way of making all my music sound very exciting and alive.
Sound quality is phenomenal. I like it. Recommend.
They come with the L-cush cushions, and they sound fantastic out of the box.
The sound is very natural, and gets better when you power them with a mobile amp.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Grado SR125i Prestige Series Headphones

They're small enough to put in a bag and bring with you while traveling, but you'll need a case.
I have a large head, simply said. The phones fit comfortably on my head with no discomfort from wearing them for an extended period.
You can keep these on your head for hours and forget they are even there, so comfortable and light.
They are not very tight on my biggish ears, and sit very lightly on my large head.
I listened for hours with need to give my ears or head a rest.

Grado SR225i Prestige Series Headphones

They are very comfortable (I have small ears) and they fit very snugly.
I've worn them for upwards of 10 hours at a time and have found them to be very comfortable.
Light weight, comfortable for most (if your head is big, bend the headband outwards a little so the cups don't murder your ears).
The clarity, crispness, sound quality, etc of these headphones is phenomenal. Also very comfortable to wear for hours on end while working.
I never bring these anywhere because of their fragility and size.

What customers say about "Features"

Grado SR125i Prestige Series Headphones

I have about 7 hours of listening time on them and they have improved noticeably so far.
The soundstage is extremely engaging and gives you a real sense of being surrounded by the music.
One really nice thing about the open design of these is that when you sing along, you can hear yourself harmonizing with the band.
The cable is thick but not replaceable, and 1/4 inch jack that needs to be adapted before you can plug it into anything.
The cable is too thick and to heavy, explains also the good soundquality.

Grado SR225i Prestige Series Headphones

Sound great even at higher volumes(caution you can damage your hearing from setting volume too high).
They already sound good out of the box without any support such as amplification (it only gets better though).
The weight is low and the cups can rotate, so you can easily lay them in a suitcase with your clothes.
It's easy and uncomplicated to ajust the fit. The cable is nice and sturdy.
Cord is a little short, could be a foot or two longer.
