DMS, please don't take this the wrong way, your conclusion is that "I love this headphone, I bought this headphone I'm gonna be keeping this headphone", yet on the Headphone show's 'The Giant Headphone Tier List' video you rank this headphone as 'how did it happen', now I genuinely hold no allegiance to no particular headphone, I have many on rotation and my favourite can change sometimes depending on my mood, amp/dac combo of the day etc, so I'm not here to wave the Grado flag, but I do think it undeserving of it's ranking purely based on this video you made, it just doesn't add up.
grado cables do be hilarious still, they're thick as a vacuum cord.
and completely ridiculous since when you see the tiny thin wire they use to connect to the drivers.. it's so funny. lol
@@cchkuan my grado 125e's have a god damn hose plugged into em and hearing the actual cable is so small has tilted me
@@cchkuan True. My SR80i broke because of that.
they are thick to hold insulators to prevent noisy signals when using higher gain
I have been using some of their headphones for over 10+ years... Never had a problem with their cable! Their pads...no such luck!
The sodium light background though, it was nice, and pleasing to the eyes.
Yellow gel but yeah. Now he just needs a half stop more exposure for his 'key' light so his face stands out just a touch more.
The video work though it's certainly more than good enough though for what he's doing
Been hyped for this review ever since I've seen it on the Google spreadsheet headphone ranking!
I really love the aspect ratio and how it completely fills up my phone's screen in landscape. Overall, the production on this video is next-level.
Thank you for your measurement graph explanation! I finally understand how to read these now. Great job!
Now that's how to do measurement reviews, really nice format.
The different extension levels whilst the headphone was lying on the table were distracting as heck though haha.
The bit starting at 13:00 was amazing. I wish more reviewers would use a large screen and point to things on it. Super easy to follow.
One of the best headphone reviews I've ever seen on CZcams. Kudos!
Love the way you used your hands to discuss FR. Great review, you've just sold them to me.
His hands, you mean to say 👋🏼
Loved this, especially the table graph presentation bit. Hope to see that in upcoming videos too :)
I am so glad that you like these headphones. Grado are such a polarizing brand. I love the 325e, and especially the RS2e
Best review iv seen from you . What sealed the deal was the H.O.G hands over graph lol perfect way to visualise the voice and really cemented it as a must buy for me with the s pads I think but I'll buy them all just incase my intuition is wrong thanks dude appreciate the work you do very technical but not snobby perfect in my opinion
Fantastic review! Really liked the format and style a lot more than most reviews I've seen from others
Damn, cranking the production value upto 11 I see . Great work as always!!
Ikr, so much more production value than Grado puts into their products build.
I think this is the best review of a Grado I've ever watched and maybe of your channel. Keep up the great work!
Love the revew and the new style! More of this please!
I got a pair on the say so of this video. Dude, you were bang on. As for comfort I do not have any issues at all. I only use headphones indoors for a limited time ( 2hrs max but mostly less) but the time spent wearing them was fine, though I did buy some pads as I had heard others complain about the stock pads. But haven't felt the need to use them....yet! Great review, many thanks!
Wow! What a substantial step up in production (apart from the small things that still need to be sorted out) and work for this review. It was absolutely worth the effort, DMS. I really liked it. Keep it up!
I definitely enjoyed the improvement in quality, great video!
Great review. Really nice analysis of frequency spectrum with different pads. I have old 325is headphones with G style pads and this helps explain why they sound some dramatically different than the stock pads they replaced.
Great review DMS, I really like the change.
This was an excellent video bro. I appreciate how in-depth you went with everything even though it took up more time. I also loved your frequency response comparison section and thought it was very thorough in showing pad differences and especially comparing other reviewers' target curves. Very good direction imo.
Nice video, nice setup, really liked the measurement curve explanation. Super curious to try these grado X (or the hemp). Thanks!
Love the new format. It somewhat feels more complete.
Really Really like your new Format. I feel like I attended a master class on how to evaluate the SR-325X. Well Done!
Pulled the trigger on these early. Great headphones to take for a walk, as they sound fine off an iPhone dongle. Sound profile is very rough, in a nice way. If I want to sit down and have a detailed listening experience, I would reach for a 6xx over this, but this headphone makes random tracks sound exciting in a way the 6xx doesn't. Perfect contrast for a headphone like that, as it offer very a different listening experience with similar technical performance.
I love the anchor chain Grado uses in a non removable cable!
I love the top-down graph view! Super cool.
I have these and I love the sound, especially against the 125x, which can be shrill to the point of pain-inducing. I had to get a couple of paint pens to reapply the silver paint that rubs off the embossed text after a month or so.
Great review, engaging, clear, structured, subjectivist AND objective analysis of FR. Great feel for the gear AND for the intended target listeners. A natural performance. Total success. Loved it.
Best review I've heard in a long time. Thank you. Questions...have you tried the Grado L-cushion pads?And do these headphones differ significantly from the Grado 325e?
The new review style is fantastic.
Glad to hear that the new Grado X series is pretty positive, though that cable twist would drive me nuts. Fortunately none of mine have a twist that bad, and I take care not to get them twisted up.
Ive been using my 125X religiously for the last 3 weeks and the cable does loosen up and unkinks significantly (as did the vacuum E series, which by now is so nice). Zeos briefly mentioned this years ago in a Grado review about how the pads need to be broken in, and thats the thing with Grados: ear pads, headband, cord all get a lot better with use.
I thought I was the only one that had this issue. Love the sound but hate the cables and the cheap pads that disintegrate and leave bits in your ears.
So i watched this video, saw this comment and bought myself a pair of these and I can confirm, they had a cable twist when i got them and after a few weeks it is almost completley gone. I love these and i would highly reccomend them.
Sorry I'm seeing this so long after it coming out but I just want to say that this new style of review was very interesting and informative, I very much enjoyed it.
Thank you...
huge fan of SR325x, but the comfort of the stock pads is atrocious, luckily there's ton of aftermarket and custom options, I went for nyczaj audio EP01 earpads with memory foam inserts and they feel fantastic and don't distort the sound at all. I've also modded them with aluminum gimbals and thick leather headband, also from nyczaj audio. they're my favourite daily driver since then.
only original pads from Grado that are tolerable is G-cushions otherwise it is pain to use but John Grado dont care about customers opinions so yea...
Got my 325 X a week ago
Was money well spent
All audio gear is subject
To t trade offs and the engineers
Have to decide were to cut corners
To meet a price point
And grado did a great job
In. On where to cut corners
And bring us the best sound for the price
Big fan of the new style of presentation. The B roll works well, the talking head looks great, the pacing is interesting
the callout to other reviewers is fun, gives me a reason to come back and check later
Great review I really like this style of video. I purchased the Hemps and I love them so much. My GF liked them so much that she wanted a pair of grado's as well and she is not into headphones or HiFi for that matter. She did not like the price of the Hemps and liked the black rather than the metal so she got herself the sr-225x. I have hard time on some of the tracks to tell the two apart however on some songs the hemp is just so much better. But looking at price to performance she got herself quite the bargain. Specially because she got a discount as well from the dealer as compensation for a small mistake they made. On a side note I prefer the old cable the braided one is even more annoying hopefully it softens up a bit over time.
Im so glad you gave the S Cushion its due. A lot of people throw the big cup G Cushions on Grados and I used to, until i realized the S Cushions were tighter, more detailed, a little narrower but a little warmer. The G pads offer a tremendous spacious experience tho, but at the expense of unpleasant sharpness compared to the S. And aftermarket Yaxi Pads are a BIG no, theyre horrible with Grados. The stock S Cushion, once you get used to the sound on your ear, is the best. Josh Valour also pointed that out I think too
I have 80, 125 and 325 e ... and I use G and S all the time... worth having both versions...
This is the best review I've seen on your channel. Cheers.
Thank you for this video. I did notice though that the top left of the measurements screen shows Grado SR-352 X rather than 325X.
Great review. I bought some. Really surprised by how great these are. Plenty of bass. Using the Geekria G-Cush pads
Love this review. Everything about it.
Really good review. I appreciate the measurements.
I bought the SR325e for 295 € last week and I am very impressed with the sound !
Fantastic review, so much detail. I hate the stock F pads, even though I loved the way they sounded straight out of the box. I was on the verge of sending them back and stick with my Sundaras. But I decided to give them one more go and try the G pads. With the bigger sound stage and (I felt) better detail, I found the Grados really came alive for me. I did end up finding them a little too sibilant at times, so I got the Geekria equivalents and they have turned out to be my ideal solution. I love the sound with these pads. They're not quite as deep, just touching my ears in a couple of places, but I find them very comfortable, the sound stage feels just as big and they reduce the sibilance, whilst the bass is just where I like it. I tried the F pads again after getting these and really didn't like the sound anywhere near as much. I guess one advantage/disadvantage with Grados is that you can alter them to something you like, even if it means ending up with a different sounding product than was intended.
The cable is still a pain in the arse, though.
they get even better with nyczaj audio EP01 pads, they have the same effect on the sound as you described with Geekria G-pads, but thanks to memory foam the comfort is through the roof. tried nearly a dozen different pads and these win so far.
Pads really do change the tuning the Beautiful Audio’s Large hybrid pads which would be their take on a G pad. In addition to comfort presents a very wide sound stage. The small hybrid pad delivers a more focused sound presentation but far more comfortable and a larger sound stage then then stock F pads. I find both pads tuning highly preferable to the stock sound.
Finally thumbnail game is on point🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 . Great video
Most interesting for me are brand new RS1x & RS2x, wood and hemp mixed and looking good, if I knew sooner that they exist probably would have waited but now I own RS1e 😅
Comes across as very similar to the Hemp. With them, the S pad sorted the response and the Dragonfly Cobalt made them sing.
Great review, the new style of it is great!
Visually, your video was luscious. Informationally, it was abundant and helpful. Your style is among the best on CZcams.
Thanks Bill! I really appreciate it.
The PITA cable on my SR80es has lasted 9 years and counting. That's a pretty good run in my home studio. Currently waiting for Aazon to bring replacements for my worn out pads - should be here today. They still sound better than anything else I have. Around $100 is my usual price point for headphones, and I have AT, AKG, SONY, Samson, Senheiser., Chinese no-name,... For price, sound, and and durability, Grados have been the best. If I were to upgrade to the $300 range, I would definitely go with Grado.
would be interested in a "10 best headphones to buy 2021" or something like that, low to high end? idk, nice vid tho ofc
Just got the RS1x on demo. They are the most energetic & entertaining headphones I’ve heard and I’ve owned quite a few of the top dogs
The cable kinks work themselves out over a few weeks btw. The cable becomes really nice over time
This thing is not possible, if you say this means that you have never had anything to do with Nylon Sleeves
You did a fantastic job with this video. From your description, it sounds like it will be similar to my Grado RS2e.
I also have the 325e. Looking forward to getting the 325X so I can compare!
I love mine
Brilliant review! Very enjoyable and rich.
I have the same twisted cable issue with my. PS500e, the struggle is real. Also, don't waste your time with anything less than G-pads, for both comfort and sound (fakes Gs won't help either).
As I watch this video, I am wearing my 1997 Grado SR225 headphones. Back then the SR225 was $199. I just ordered the SR325x from Grado. I am very curious as to how the 25 year old SR225 compares to the new SR325x. I sure hope the cord has been figured out. Great review.
Really enjoyable and informative, thanks.
thank you DMS for the S pad recommendation. much comfier than the stock Fs and, for a metalhead, the sound profile is PERFECTION
I have the original from Engineer John at CES(deceased and not mentioned on their website.) Clarity was great to evaluate equipment, but after an hour caused ringing and ear fatigue. Later a review found a resonance at 7 K. This being the 4th generation, if you sweep with an oscillator manually, are their any
obvious resonance peaks on a scope which shorten ones listening time. I find I am happy with my HE 400S and HE Sundara, but wonder about also getting a recent driver headphone. All the current reviewers are hung up with the curves which do not pinpoint driver problems. And all seem to do eq after they have looked at the curves, not from scratch listening. Changed the Sundara pads to the Z recommended Dekoni Audio Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin pads which are not physically hot as the original ones.
Amazing review, I'm really interested in getting these or the HEMP. What are he main differences between both? Which ones are smoother on the ears? Thanks!
Good review, I had the old SR-325 (very old first version, i think second version are e, and these are the third version?). I liked them but never tried a different headband, and always found them too heavy. Just wondered how you found the weight on your head (must have found them OK as you brought them). I like Grado's but just have a plastic cup model at the moment due to the weight of the metal ones, but if I come into some money may try some of the wooden ones.
nice review!! thats the reality of grado headphones!!
Great review, and great to see some actual measurement data too. Would love to see a bigger range of pads! That's part of the grado fun, you can choose from a wide range of pads. I use some Geekria "LL" pads on my Hemp, and tape modded standard L pads on my 325e. I've got S, Geekria L, LL, and G pads as alternatives, can easily hear the changes but would love to see some measured comparisons.
I have the Grado Hemp. Best headphones I've ever owned. However, I appreciate your review of the 325x. I'm very curious how they would sound compared to the Hemp but I'm always going to keep them no matter what. For pads, I use both the G-pads and the L-pads, which were the default pads for the 325's for years. It sits nicely between the larger G-pads and the thin F-pads/S-pads.
And yes, these Grados are not for objectionists. You really have to love its sound signature and it's a fantastic one. No complaints really.
The Hemp headphones are magnificently musical and involve you in a way other headphones can't manage at any price! Glad you like them, Randall.
These ones are the best for the mids. I remember them being a bit bright? I love Grado though. Such musical cans with engaging fun energy.
they are fun until you hear real deal headphones xD, Grado is good for old songs recorded in old manner otherwise they are lacking in everything
That cable issue is a dealbreaker IMO. I prefer unbraided cables after the split, and braided before; using braided all the way up almost never works out. I'd be fine with it on a lower end model but it's just inexcusable for something in this price bracket.
I appreciate your articulation do describe curtain aspects of the sound of the SR 325x.. I need as flat as possible.. For mixing. I hear how you edit your videos, pretty decen leveling and ducking of frequencies.. What headphones did you use to edit this video?. I am currently listening through sr-80, a very older model that has more definition than most heaphones I own that cost way more..
"Does warmth well, mid range well" As in good separation in these frequencies? These are the most important ranges in to me.
Very good review. The only other thing I'd like to know is know how these compare to the Hemp, SR325e, and SR225x and below. It looks like the entire X lineup has the same new driver also used in the Hemp. Do you think that the SR60x's through SR225x are really close to the SR325x? It appears Grado only makes very minor tweaks as you move up the lineup but the cost goes up a lot.
Hard to say on the rest of the line-up. I’m trying them soon. I prefer this over the hemp personally.
On my sr80e I spent over an hour running my fingers over the cable and hitting it with a hot hairdryer in order to remove the kinks.
I ended up losing my Grado SR-325e and I've been weighing my options. Always nice to see Grado stuff.
Grado's also incredibly simple to fix. I've re-soldered/replaced the cable on my SR-80i and SR-125i before. They don't have a complicated build, all the parts are simple, and there's actually a lot of space to get in there. They're like the AK-47 of headphones.
Mine came with the cable crossed just above the Y splitter, which is very helpful and I don't have to play around with it. I wonder if this is how they now assemble the cable or was this a random coincidence which worked out well. I did have a problem with the SR125 cable twisting.
Is the soundstage really that much wider compared to previous generations of Grado SR-325? For example, I have the SR-325e and, with stock pads, I would not say it's a very wide headphone... So is it mainly the pads you're using that are making the SR-325x seem wide or does the SR-325x just have a naturally wider sound than the SR-325e?
I'd be really interested to hear a take on the new rs1x as it combines the woods of the hemp & the GS-3000e. I just picked up a pair of them & they're interesting even pad-rolled the soundstage isn't nearly as large as their higher end but it's an interesting mix of the things grado has been doing the past few years.
Great video , interesting headphones 🍻
Love mine with the G pads.
I like Grado RS2e more than the 325X, but I am glad you found a Grado you really like
Interesting, the frequency response graph changed quite noticeably from the e series. Sad I know I don't need to check coz I remember the e graphs. :D
Just about a year ago I decided to get into headphone listening. I am an audiophile having MBL101 speakers for my 2 channel system so I am no stranger to high end sound. I originally bought the Audeze LCD 2 and was underwhelmed. I heard a friends Grado SR80 so I gave the SR325x and try. I really like these headphones much more than the LCD2. Having heard good things about the Sennheiser 560S I bought one of these and alas the 325x still comes out on top. Now I am tired of wasting money on headphones. Can anyone recommend a headphone that is better than the 325X without going over $1k? Also what portable dac/amp combo works best with the 325x as I use the Dragonfly cobalt now?
Great video, thank you very much!
Would you recommend these for use without an amp, or would that be wasteful?
I honestly haven’t looked at this sets rated impedance and sensitivity but I gather that virtually any amp can sufficiently power them, including your mobile devices if volume is your primary criterion. You will most definitely benefit from even a cheap dongle DAC such as Apple’s own 3.5 to lightning adapter (or comparable android usb-c dongle DAC), and might find the volume too attenuated depending on your desired listening levels. That’s when using a more powerful amp than these may start showing more benefits and be more appropriate for one’s use case in most situations (having more headroom in an amp is always a good thing). But you can most certainly power most grados sufficiently from any modern smartphone if again volume level is your primary concern in selecting gear.
Thank you very much for your review
I'm tempted to buy Grado Headphones
I listen almost exclusively to Psychedelic Blues-rock Vintage music focused on overdiven electric Guitar tone (Cream/Jimi Hendrix Expericence/Deep Purple/Rory Gallagher ecc) and I'm searching for an headphone with controlled Bass response, Great MIDS (flat opr +1db) And high frequencies not emphasized.
I know Grado are great pair of headphones for the genre of music I'm Into BUT Highs are a problem for me..I like detail and clarity but not too much.
What If I purchase a LITTLE DOT valvolar ampli?Maybe I can contain the high frequencies?
I would also consider buying Sennhaiser HD600..250 ohm instead of 32 Ohm of the grado but not too Trebly like Grado
Thank for your attention
I prefered the old background, i really liked the mesh of blue light and warm light.
I love these, but as an owner, I can encourage experimenting with the pads. The S pads sound much better to my ears than the F pads.
Thank you for your heaphone list.
I always love your reviews and the new look is cool. No interest in Grados given their insistence on building an uncomfortable can and that silly non-detachable cable. Still I want one Grado for my collection so is this the one in your opinion or do I go with the Hemp?
I’ve got the hemps and love them. My only other experience with Grados was with my OG sr60 from about 15 years ago now, which coincidentally enough was my first foray into ‘audiophile’ gear. That said, I’m still thinking of purchasing these based off of DMS’ review alone tho honestly! You end up getting one of these or not quite yet or did ya go a different route?
@@davidcoons89 I have been holding off and thinking and I just got a coupon to get these for free so now my decision is made. I was heavily leaning towards the hemps but for free vs. $469 I think I will start with these and see how it goes. Thanks for telling me about the hemp. It confirmed my reseach
@@jamesthoma4927 nice dude that’s absolutely awesome..I actually ended up getting the SR325x kinda based on all the online hype etc. I’m very glad I did as I enjoy both the hemp and the 325’s! Happy listening with your awesome new headphones 🎶🎶
I’ve had the Grado sr225e and they’re my favorite headphone by far. I recently got the 325x and I’m honestly disappointed. They have more bass, but it ruins the clarity on acoustic songs compared to the 225e. The thin pads, narrow leather headband, and super heavy metal ear-cups make it very uncomfortable. I thought I’d love the new cable but surprisingly still prefer the original. I’ve tried them with the larger G-pads too and it definitely makes soundstage better, but I still find the 225e more enjoyable. I’m going to continue using them, but will probably return them to Grado within a few days.
There's something special about the 225e's. I had a difficult time upgrading them. All headphones I tried (in $2000 range) could not be considered as direct upgrades. The ones I find acceptable are the followings: the rs2e, it retains the transparency, gives a richer mid, but loses the lushness at the treble. The Grado Hemp is a great complement headphone to the 225e. Think about moving 225e's vibe to the bass and mid range. These cans bring an energetic, liquid musical experience. The Kennerton Gjallarhorn GH50 JM Edition is like an end-game mature version of the 225e's. Feels quite different, much larger sound stage, much better details, top-grade center image, beautiful upper mids, not as effortless, but you will enjoy them if you love the 225e's.
@@JC-nj3cs thank you for the suggestions. I’m considering the rs2e now. I think I’d like the wood cups much better than the heavy metal ones. At 7:17 DMS said that the 325x with the G-pads is better than the Hemp, so I’m hesitant of that headphone now. I dislike the 325x because it loses the mid range shine and sounds too dark compared to the 225e. So I think the Hemp will also have the same issue to me.
I’ve never heard of the Kennerton GH 50. I’ll look into those. What do you recommend under about $800 that can beat or complement the 225e?
@@wrliggin2 I listened to the 325x too along side with rs2e and hemp. To me the 325x has too much mid-bass boosts and too little upper-mids. rs2e was more transparent and detailed then hemp for sure. And hemp was a bit more detailed than 325x. For modern pop music I felt hemp easily won that competition. Music just flow better. Everything sounds more emotional, energetic, and liquid. Let me put it this way, hemp is putting the grado treble energy into the mid and bass. The treble is still acceptable, at least to 325x. But if you are after that treble energy, then rs2e is the go.
Under $800 this is really a tough job. I have a pair of rs1e's, which is $700, but a totally different beast to the 225e's. It doesn't complement the 225e's, but rather a new sound signature that some may love and some may hate. If I were you, I'd also try the Hifiman Sundara or Ananda. The GH50 JM edition is really great if you wish to pay, it's more 225e-like than my ADX5000.
@@wrliggin2 Just want to let you know, I couldn't resist and bought a pair of Grado Hemp. I've done some pad swapping and I have to say they are a true upgrade to sr225e's. With stock pads, its sound right out of my laptop almost rivals my well driven HD650 (>$3000 gears). While it's body is still a little lighter and is a little less resolving, the Hemp is faster and more energetic. With Geekria L pads, the Hemp feels as airy as the 225e's, with a little more detail at the top end and upper mids. Bottom end and midrange are a bit fuller. The 225e's is still feather-like and smooth, but the Hemp is like a grown up version. With these pads, I like them better than the rs2e's. The rs2e's are young, bright, and dynamic, but less emotional.
@@JC-nj3cs hey thanks for letting me know! I just saw your previous comment too. “Feather-like” is the perfect description of the 225e. Both in weight and sound signature. That’s why I love them so much and have been let down by other headphones.
I also broke down and bought a pair of Hemps. They’ll be here in a few days and I’ll let you know what I think. I’m guessing that I’ll like them more and return the 325x. I’ll probably order a pair of the geekria L pads you recommended too. I don’t like the flat F cushions at all.
Have you ever heard of boiling Grado pads to make them more comfortable and soft? It sound crazy but it seems to be common. I love the L pads on my 225e now, but it’a taken years for them to soften up.
I’m considering getting the Sundara but might try a cheaper hifiman like the 5xx. I’ve heard planar briefly in a store once, but have never owned a planar headphone. Do you think Sundara is best under $400?
Last thing lol. I want to try a tube amp and I’m considering the Little Dot Mk2. Have you tried that or do you recommend another tube amp under around $150? I don’t want to invest much into amps because I already have an ifi hip dac that’s great. I just want to hear the “tube sound.”
Thanks again for your insight. It’s always great finding knowledgeable people to teach me more about this hobby.
dude I like the headband mod, not permanent and comfy gonna do that!
I've always loved my original RS-1's on my Mapletree tube amp. However all my Grado's are broke (SR-80, 225, and RS-1). Every cable failed inside the Y split. :(
I have Grado SR325is.
Is there a difference in sound between these?
Hiii thanks for the video, really beautiful. Would you suggest these or the hemp? Thanks!
Really like the new vid style
still waiting for a kit to fix up my dads old 225, basically everything but the drivers need to be replaced in ordder for it to be comfortable
I am probably going to replace my original version 225 with the 325x. In addition to or instead of, what do you think of upgrading the 225 cups, drivers and cable with a diy mod? What forum might be helpful?
How badly would the sound be affected if plugged into an iPhone XR using the lightning adapter?
you really answered my all questions beautifully and going to save a lot of money by not buying high end DAC like cobalt dragonfly which costs almost as this headphones
Okay, so. How does reducing gain to the tube amp via a pre-amp work? I own a tube amp (ta-26) and am looking at Grado headphones. I do not have a pre-amp, but I can lower the sound via Windows I guess (I use an internal sound card, not usb one)?
