Have you been looking for the ultimate headphones to listen to that Black Sabbath CD? Well your search ends here.

Lightweight and rugged, these open-air stereo headphones are perfect for all your regular hi-fi applications.

With a non-resonant air chamber and Grado's standard vented diaphragms passed through a de-stressing process, what you get is open, natural sound that puts you bang in the middle of the music.

Suited for picky audiophiles and those just joining the fray, these acoustic marvels are the best that money can buy in their category.

The Grado SR225 headphones have the ability to project instrument locations exceptionally well, resulting in an extended soundstage.

You definitely will feel no fatigue even with hours of listening with these headphones. However, first-timers to enter the Grado fold, may find that their headphones require a little getting used to.

This is because the earpads are quite uncomfortable and the headphones themselves were certainly not built for portability.

Once you're in though, there's no arguing that you'll be hard pressed to find another set of headphones with such excellent placement and separation of instruments.

Unlike canalphones, the Grado SR225 headphones are not designed to isolate well, so they aren't suitable for use in noisy environments.

This also makes them unsuitable for portability. What you get instead is excellent sound thanks to the improved airflow courtesy of the rear metal screen.

The natural sounding audio that you will hear on the Grado SR 225 owes a great deal to the UHPLC (Ultra-high purity, long crystal) copper voice coil wiring, now a standard in all Grado headphones.

In addition, the same UHPLC is also used in the cable design providing excellent signal. The cable is 6ft long and ends in a ¼ plug.

You can however get an adapter to make it suitable for use with portable devices.

If you wish to optimize the sound output, you could think about investing in some amplification – however, this is not essential to actually enjoy the Grado SR 225 headphones.

Bottom line is that Grado SR 225 reproduces great sound, is perfect for in your face bass and excellent for music that truly engages the listener.

True, it isn't the embodiment of comfort or built to be worn when you are exercising, but who really wants that? But if it's aural perfection you seek, my friend, the Grado SR 225 is the answer.
