Image © GradoThe Grado SR325 is an open-back, wired headphone designed for critical listening, delivering a detailed and spacious soundstage with strong instrument separation. Its lightweight, solid build and high sensitivity make it easy to drive from most sources, though its open design offers minimal isolation and significant sound leakage. This model is best suited for quiet home environments rather than on-the-go use.

Video reviews we found, each condensed to its verdict. They do feed the HearWiki score, at a measured weight below what a published written review carries.
Reviewers agree the Grado SR325 delivers engaging, detailed sound with strong mids and easy drivability, though they differ on its tonal balance—one found it bright and bass-light while the other praised a warm, punchy low end.
19:57The reviewer initially disliked the Grado SR325 for being bright and uncomfortable, but after extended listening, he grew to appreciate its expressive, detailed, and engaging sound, especially for rock and acoustic music. He notes the bass is light, the treble is detailed but can be harsh on sensitive ears, and the open-back design offers no isolation. He recommends pairing it with a warm-sounding amp like the Cavalli Tube Hybrid or the Geshelli Archel Pro for best results.
11:18The reviewer finds the Grado SR325x to have exceptional sound quality with a warm, bassy, and mid-focused tuning that defies the brand's typical bright reputation, but the build quality, comfort, and terrible cable are major drawbacks. They conclude that while the sound is special, the $300 price is hard to justify given the flaws, and recommend it mainly for modding enthusiasts or those willing to overlook comfort issues.
