Reviews:
Diapason magazine/ France
"This headphone has something magic: a rare musicality that preserves the natural elegance of the music. The medium is refreshing, natural and sensual. The richness of the harmonics in the medium pulls you in. The instruments have a credible texture. The special balance is good. The timbres are rich and at times exceptional. The defenition is flawles; the music keeps its nuances and richness of expression."

"...speakers of similar sonic ability as the 325i would set you back at least three grand"
Stuff magazine
"In a world where predictable, playing-it-safe design is the norm, it’s hugely refreshing that a company such as Grado has the cojones to market a pair of cans that look like something Christopher Eccleston might have hanging up in his tardis. We think the 325is look great, in a retro stylee. They sound awesome, too!"
ARENA / Style For Men – Magazine
"What you need is a serious set of cans to do justice to your music and what better way to enjoy pristine hi-fidelity than by using staunch traditionalist Grado’s note-perfect SR325i earmuffs"
"…the engineer I assisted preferred the Grado’s diamond-like “clarity and cut” to the sound of the Sennheiser HD-650s."
John Marks / stereophile, vol.28 no 6
"I just purchased the SR325i and am amazed at the fidelity. According to everything I read, I would not be able to discern between the SR60 and SR325i without a headphone amp. I strongly disagree; I can hear an extreme difference. Don’t get me wrong, I love the 60s, but the 325i is awesome. Now, I need to purchase your amp!"
