Grado Labs SR325x open on-ear headphones with aluminum housing, 44mm X driver, 8-conductor cable and detailed home listening sound. Read more.
The Grado Labs SR325x is an open on-ear headphone in the Prestige Series, designed for music lovers who want a precise, spacious and highly engaging listening experience at home. Its metal housing gives it a distinct position within the range, supporting accurate imaging and a clearer sense of space between instruments. The open-air design is best suited to quiet rooms, desktop listening and home studio-style use, where awareness of the surroundings and a natural soundstage are more important than isolation.
The SR325x combines brushed aluminum housings with Grado’s 44mm 4th Generation X Series drivers, tuned specifically for this model. The driver design includes a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with reduced effective mass and a reconfigured diaphragm, all intended to improve efficiency, reduce distortion and preserve musical harmonics. Practical details include an 8-conductor super annealed copper cable, a leather headband with SR325x-exclusive white stitching, swiveling earcups and replaceable F cushions for long-term usability.
In a carefully matched system, the Grado Labs SR325x works well with headphone amplifiers, DACs, streamers and standard audio devices with a suitable output or adapter. Its lively, open character can suit rock, acoustic recordings, jazz, vocals and well-recorded live performances, while the on-ear open design makes it less ideal for commuting or noisy offices. Keep the pads clean, replace them when worn and pair the headphone with a quality source to hear what the SR325x can add to your listening setup.
