Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It seems like I'm always a bit disappointed when shelling out relatively big bucks for headphones.The Bose QC2 offer great overall sound, but they cost $300 and don't operate without a battery.The Koss Pro4a's are also nice and far less costly, but they are extremely heavy and sound too flat (especially on the bass side of the spectrum) for my tastes.Upon reading about the Grados and given all the accolades these headphones have received, I decided to add them to my ever-growing collection.
The Grado 125s really surprised me in more ways than one.They look a bit goofy and the foam headphones didn't seem to fit well, at least right out of the box.The headband can be bent to provide a tighter or looser fit.The other surprise was the full 1/4" stereo plug - not a 1/8" with a 1/4" adapter.Thus, you'll need a reducer to play these on your MP3 player.
Now the good news.Voice and instrument clarity surpass even the Bose in my opinion.I have finally been able to decipher the words to some classics, which is to say you'll hear very minor nuances that provide superb realism and impact.Check out, for instance, Dire Straits 'Brothers In Arms' CD.
Plus, the extreme lightness is truly astonishing.I listened for hours with no need to give my ears or head a rest.I can't speak for headphones beyond the $300 range, but I'd recommend these $150 phones to anyone, hands down.

Product Description:
Grado's ability to combine lightness with extreme rigidity and internal damping has been put to good use on the SR125.Based on the same design as the SR80, the SR125 features an improved diaphragm and voice coil design and UHPLC (Ultra-high purity, long crystal) copper voice coil wire. The Diaphragms are put through a special 'de-stressing' process in order to enhance inner detail. An improved headband spring provides even greater comfort allowing the listener to relax and enjoy the fine tonal spread and balance. Bass, midrange and treble are all more open.
