GRADOSR125x Prestige Series Open-Back – Wired Over-Ear Dynamic Headphones with 44mm Drivers – Hand-Assembled in Brooklyn – Lightweight Hi-Fi for Audiophiles

I have known about Grados for a long time but never tried them. I can say they live up to the hype. They are detail and soundstage monsters. Your music will sound different on these in a very good way. There is a lot of energy in the treble which works super well with certain type of music. Modern pop/rock music with lots of treble will find a bit overpowered and too detailed. Not the fault of Grado but how modern music is mixed and engineered.For other genre they are incredible. With the amount of detail and soundstage you don't need extra bass. The bass is there just fine. However if you really want it they do respond a lot to eq.I prefer HD6xx for listening to pop and some rock. They still have good soundstage but have less treble. However the soundstage on Grados are a level above anything else.The only thing I don't like is the cable. You can tow a car with it. They definitely picked it for the conductive properties and not for the comfort application. They saved the money in a lot of areas and put it all into the sound and build which is what matters most.The only real negative reviews here are subjective. One the ear phones are usually not comfortable for anybody but Grado designed a good headband. You can shape it to your needs and it still remains springy. Also a review of someone comparing it to wireless headphones made for tv listening. Ridiculous.

I've already written an extensive review of the SR80X and how much better it is than the E Series. The SR80X is no doubt a game changer for the price and will satisfy anyone who owns it. I believe what Grado has made with their X Series of drivers will become the default headphone purchase for the price. The SR80X is ridiculously good. But I was curious to see if the 125X would be any improvement. And within one minute of head to head listening, I could EASILY pick out the superiority of the 125X. The 125X is better than the 80X in every way. The highs are more round and detailed, with better resolution. The mids and lows have a noticeable layer of girth and growl. It's like someone took some butter and just slathered it on the SR80X. Songs that bordered on uncomfortably bright on the 80X sounded better and also less harsh on the 125X. There was an increase in detail but also an increase in softness. It really took no time at all to stick with the 125X.I can only imagine how good the new 225 and 325 are with these new X drivers. The entire spectrum sounds better than the E Series. Not nearly as bright and an enhanced low end. If the last Grado you heard was an old model, you owe yourself to try the new model. Pick the highest price you can afford and pull the trigger. You won't be disappointed. I think the SR125X handily beats the Sennheiser 6XX and Hifiman 4XX/400 series/Deva (while also being significantly easier to drive, though Grados notoriously scale with good amps). It has all the immediacy and impact of a Grado, but the low end has been given a boost and the sharpness of Grados past has been tamed. These really are incredible.

This is an AMAZING pair of headphones... in the right environment. And that's the main caveat. To say that the audio from these headphones leaks is an understatement. Anyone near you will hear EVERYTHING that you are listening to. And also all noise will leak through as well. So these are not for use out and about. These are for use at home, in a quiet room.That being said. When you're in the right listening environment, these headphones SING! They really shine with music that is grand and wide (think things like Jazz, Classical, Soundtrack, anything with a choir, etc). Now if you're a bass head, you might as well stop and look somewhere else. But if you like accurate and clean sounding bass, you can't go wrong with these. They have enough bass to enjoy pop, rock, though maybe a bit lacking for things like edm. Though that could be corrected with an external DAC/AMP like a Fiio Q3 or something similar. The soundstage is super wide! I really feel like I'm being surrounded by sound, even when compared to something like a AKG Q701 these feel so much more wide. Which with a super wide soundstage, there's something else these are great for: ASMR!I've never understood asmr videos, but after trying one video with these headphones, I finally understand. I can actually feel like I'm there listening to someone. The same goes for other 3D audio experiences. I've never been a huge fan of PS5's 3D tempest audio engine, but now I can actually hear things around me with these headphones. This wide soundstage can be a double edged sword however. Music with really bad mixing will sound bad. There's no way around it. If the music is poorly mixed and mastered, you WILL HEAR IT, and it will sound BAD. An unfortunate side effect of having a headphone that really reveal all details in your audio.Here's what I dislike. It's a very thick and unwieldy cable. Also it seems as though they attached the cable with the headphones laying flat. So when you twist the cups to sit on your ears, the cable twists and creates an annoying twist at the junction where the cable splits for left and right ear. Also I've found that if you have a beard, hairs can get caught in the braided sleeve of the cable, which can cause an uncomfortable pull when you move the cable the wrong way. Both of these things are very annoying , especially using the headphones when laying down. For both of these things I'm taking off a star for comfort.Overall I would recommend these headphones if you want a daily driver to use at home. If you need something when you're out and about, I would look somewhere else.Excellent for: Music, Video games, ASMRBad for: Traveling, outdoor use, loud environments, anywhere that's not at home, music that is mixed bad

I have many headphones. Dt 700 pro x, DT 770 pro, DT 990 pro, K7XX, HE 400se, SHP9600, tygr 300r, and several IEMs. I have never heard anything like these grados. The sound signature is so unique and detailed that I find myself gaming and music listening through them now and I keep doing it and I can't stop. I love them. I love you Grado.

These headphones sound amazing, super transparent with a nice balanced EQ spread- and they look great. I wear glasses and my other headphones cause a lot of discomfort- with the SR125X this is not an issue. The cord is an extremely heavy gauge and of supreme quality adding to the quality of these awesome phones. Get them, you won’t be disappointed.

Der Grado SR125x ist ein sehr gut neutral klingender offener Kopfhörer, der sich sehr angenehm auch für längere Hörsessions eignet, ohne auch nur ansatzweise lästig zu werden und ich bin recht empfindlich an den Ohren.Er ist spritzig schnell und konturenreich in der Akzentuierung. Aber gut, das ist ohnehin die Domäne offener Kopfhörer. Mit einem Klanggemenge wie in geschlossenen Systemen müssen sich diese nicht herum schlagen.Da ich mich nicht gern isoliere und meine Umgebung wahrnehmen möchte, ähnlich wie vor einer Musikanlage sitzend, sind offene Hörer zudem für mich die richtige Wahl.Sie wirken zerbrechlich, was sicher auch dem Gewicht geschuldet ist (nahezu alles aus Kunststoff). Drauf setzen bekommt ihnen sicher nicht und das Kabel ist ein wenig störrig, doch fällt das für mich nicht ins Gewicht. Ein wenig schade ist, dass die Kabel nicht abnehmbar sind, so ließe sich der Hörer sicher leichter/schneller verstauen, austauschen wird man diese ganz sicher nicht müssen, vorher sind die Hörer derangiert.Von mir eine dicke Kaufempfehlung, erst recht zu diesem Preis.Axo, was mich tatsächlich ein wenig irritiert ist die Einordnung zu den Over-Ear-Headphones. Diese decken zwar das ganze Ohr ab, je nachdem wie groß die "Löffel" sind, aber sie umschließen sie nicht, sie sitzen auf den Ohrmuscheln und demgemäß zählte ich sie doch eher zu den On-Ear-Headphones.

Da possessore di una Grado Sr60e posso dire di essere soddisfatto di questo acquisto! Questa Sr125x è fantastica e sono certo che dopo diverse ore di rodaggio lo sarà ancor più.

Great sound?, very comfortable and very well made. They are worth the extra few £s over the 80s.

開放型が気になったので購入聞いてみたところ、音楽がバリバリ流れてるフロアや音楽ホールにいるような感覚で耳元というよりスピーカーから音楽をきいている気分になったというのも、このヘッドホン音を全部通します。ヘッドホン外の音も全部。隣の部屋で流れるテレビ音も全部。それだけ聞くと、昨今のノイズキャンセリング常備が普通と考える人にはポンコツだと思うでしょうですが、音の位置が他とは段違いです。先程フロアやホールと言ったように、耳元だけではなく遠くからも音が聞こえてくる様な感じがします。他のヘッドホンでも音の距離が違うと感じる事はあったのですが、コレは更に距離を体感出来ます。コンサートで演者が小さく音を鳴らした時に、無音の中にポツンと、けどしっかり音が居る。あの感じがより味わえます。自分は機械の構造自体には詳しくないので推測なのですがこの距離感は周りの音を拾うからこそ生まれる距離感なのかなと思います。もちろん全ての音を拾ってしまうので、もし近くで騒ぐ人がいたらメッチャクチャ音を邪魔されて台無しですし。本気で音楽だけ集中したい時は、身の回りの音を消す必要があります。なので、町中で使うのはほぼ不可能ですしそもそもヘッドホンの音が激しく漏れるのでマナー的にダメです。完全に家で使う用になるヘッドホンですが、それでも聞いてほしい距離感。超小型の高級スピーカーを買うような気持ちで買ってほしい代物でした。後、音が通るのを逆手に取って、赤ちゃんの泣き声を聞く為に片耳外してる人など周りの音を聞きたい人にもオススメです※唯一ダメな点は、長時間付けられない事恐らく自分がチビな事で発生している弊害なのですが、ヘッドホンの硬いところまで耳が当たっています（スポンジを指先で突いた時の様にメリ込んでしまっている）耳がおおよそ7cmだとちょっと悲しい思いをします追記：ヘッドホンの耐久性ナメてましたヘッドホンの骨組みが形状記憶合金とかそういうのなので、鞣す様に曲げるとヘッドホンの固いところにめり込まない様、頭にフィットする事が可能でした
