amazon Grado SR325e reviews
Design
As a manufacturer of handcrafted, Grado was quite … lazy design. The all-new line of headphones Grado appeared too drip, while the long line as 325 headset hardly changed a bit design in the past decade.
That means that SR325e and SR325is hardly have a little difference at all, even on the roots of the natural color. The new SR325e is still a part headband featuring Grado (strap) characterized by the classic leather, two plastic blocks hinges hold up / down with the L and R embossed quite convenient for the user to use in dark. Enhanced role for the bass and protection for your ears is still the characteristic 2 pad spongy pcs of Grado. The difference is most visible of SR325e than SR325is is the name of the headset on the small button in the center of the ear tubers extra “e” under the words “SR325”.
Plus the classic design on the earphone cord Grado is always very thick and sturdy, the possibility of the cord is almost impossible. However, with a long rope and natural part tubers alternative somewhat excessive, SR325e will not be an earpiece for her love of fashion, whether they prefer the Sennheiser elegance and looks V-MODA’s healthy. Like all the other Grado, SR325e should be used to enjoy at home, rather than carrying out road work accessories such as Beats, Skullcandy and SOUL.
User experience
While these products often use old Grado 6.5 jacks, generation of e-series was switched to using popular 3.5mm jack. This can be seen as a plus point of SR325e than SR325is, by 6.5 jacks will cause users to lose a lot more money for the transfer (first transfer will be 6.5-3.5 genuine Grado VND330,000 while the transfer of port types high volume will also have 100,000 price range). However, part wrapped around Jack still quite large and therefore can not fit snugly with some sort of shell tiles smartphone on the market.
In fact, due to the opening up SR325e headphones proved totally unsuitable for mobile use. The headset will to reach a very distinct sound and could not prevent the noise from outside. You can use in the office SR325e at low volumes, but eventually all Grado headphones only really suitable for a relaxing listening experience at home.
Because metal ear tubers, SR325e is the weight Grado runner (just behind PS1000e). To keep the ear to be comfortable, you need to pay attention to where to place the headphones on the head and also suffered hardly bent outwards headband. Also, SR325e is an on-ear headphones rather than over-ear: You need to let mattress lying on the ear rather than covering the rear. Once you become familiar with the special relativity headphones through the tips above, you can enjoy a comfortable SR325e within several hours.
Sound
Right from the first moment, has revealed clear SR325e outstanding features most noticeable compared to seniors: bass.
While the bass part of the old generation 325 was not bad quality, the bass note on SR325e even be raised to reach the level of the Reference Series line. In the Metal music, most seasoned and powerful bass of SR325e create magnificent background and aggressive than 325is seniors. Was added on bass but SR325e retains very fine degree of control; status “sticky” notes which are common in the low-end models such as SR60 and absolute iGrado not occur on SR325e.
But mention Grado headphones are mentioned negative mid (middle range) great. In this respect, SR325e can be regarded as the new representative of the family Grado. Like SR325is and almost all products other Grado, sound is the sound SR325e of warm mid naturally.
Not unexpected, the 325e retains traditional strengths for Metal and Rock: electric guitar sound. Sounds Hard Rock Glam Metal mixed with Guns n ‘Roses can be considered a perfect demonstration of SR325e land: RYTHM guitar sound always retain features typical thorny, longer hours lead trenchant and always neat. Like other bands sound, sound of SR325e Treb keeping the “quality” of the older generation but was “refined” to become more harmonious.
Overall, SR325e is still a little headphones sound natural but still thick morning. The new 325 also achieved a good balance between the 3-band sound, but in terms of the ability to move from strip to strip another sound this sound as smooth as it continues Grado Sennheiser HD650 been surpassed. Soundstage is also a factor that Grado continued to lag behind the competitors, though SR325e not a sound headphones in the form of slightly warm to the cramped like HD598 or SR60i. That’s not necessarily a weakness, because of the “intimate” sound of music will help to gently add warm. With the focus is jazz saxophone or electric guitar blues are more, of SR325e soundstage will be an advantage.
Like other products Grado, SR325e proved particularly attractive when combined with the type of bulb used amp. With separate genres Metal, Rock, Jazz and Blues, these headphones will reveal the full beauty when combined with Voshkhods lamps and General Electric. Natural sound quality light bulb SR325e Voshkhods when combined with acoustic guitar creates thorny, sharp for Guns n ‘Roses and Eric Clapton.

Conclude
It can be said that, when launched SR325e, Grado has done something seemingly impossible: the overthrow of the shadow of his predecessor SR325is. The SR325 old life had attracted numerous fans Rock in Vietnam and once considered the next best Grado RS1i worth buying. When added more bass and rebalance the 3 bands sound, Grado has created a version SR325 really improved, maintained its position with Rock and Jazz, at the same time become better for the fans Vocals and hip-hop.
Inherent weaknesses of Classical and New Age (by a narrow soundstage) is still there, but obviously not a headset that can fulfill all kinds of music. If your needs are divided equally among the other music, and especially if you love natural vocals and electric guitar sounds “soulful”, SR325e would be the best choice in the price range.
Strength point:
+ Sounds balanced, attractive.
+ No opponents of Rock and Jazz in the price range

– Design is not beautiful.
