SR125i
What
does the e stand for in the new SR125e from Grado? Improved, that’s
what! Grado's ability to combine lightness with extreme rigidity and
internal damping has been put to good use on the SR125e. Based on the
same design as theSR80e, the SR125e also features an improved driver and
cable design utilizing UHPLC (Ultra-high purity, long crystal) copper
voice coil wire. With the new 8 conductor cable design you will notice
improved control and stability of the upper and lower range of the
frequency spectrum, with both better supporting Grado’s world renowned
midrange. The Diaphragms are put through a special 'de-stressing'
process in order to enhance inner detail. The way the SR125e’s new
driver, cable and plastic housing move air and react to sound vibrations
are now less affected by transient distortions. Bass, midrange and
treble are all more open and you will enjoy the fine tonal spread and
balance.

"We all agreed the Grado SR125 headphones are excellent, and
that they would be a fine choice for anyone looking first to
audio quality"

"Analytical listening was helped by the well-defined locations
of individual instruments and voices. If headphones can be as
musically satisfying as this, they must be pretty good."

"Still, in its own realm the Grado SR125 is a real
winner and an excellent value. I cannot imagine a better
sounding headphone at anywhere near its price."
- Julian Hirsch - Stereo Review Vol.60, No.5 |
"It was obvious to me that the members were very impressed by
the Grado SR125 headphones."
-Edward Long- Audio Magazine Vol.79, No.8 |
"Nearly every headphone-using colleague I spoke to in the USA
keeps either SR60, SR80, or SR125s handy
for reviewing."
- Ken Kessler - HiFi News & Record Review |
"simultaneously musical and revealing of every nuance recorded"
