Grado SR225i

MSRP  $200.00    Released  March, 2009

Cons
  • some believe a lesser Grado can be transformed to approach the refined sound of the 225 by implementing modifications (replacing grill, adding dampening to the back of the driver etc...)
  • open design and thick cable are only good for quiet at home listening - cannot be easily thrown in a bag
  • potential comfort issues - takes a while to get used to
