Out of the shadow

The SR125x and SR225x have had a sibling rivalry for decades. The SR125x uses its quick driver to keep pace with any music while remaining the more affordable option.

• Hand-built in Brooklyn
• 8-conductor cable
• S cushion
• Drivers matched to 0.1 dB
• De-stressed driver

Signature sound

The driver and housing work in tandem to react to sound vibrations and virtually eliminate transient distortions. The result is harmonic colours, full-bodied vocals, excellent dynamics and Grado's renowned mid-range — a sound that's pure Grado.

X Series driver

The 4th generation X Series driver is specifically tuned for the SR125x. It features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass and a reconfigured diaphragm. Together these changes improve efficiency, reduce distortion and preserve the harmonic integrity of your music.

New cables and headband

The 8-conductor cable is housed in a more durable exterior and uses super annealed copper wire for improved signal purity. The redesigned headband adds more cushioning for a more comfortable fit.

Hand-built in Brooklyn

Every SR125x is hand-built by Grado's team in Brooklyn, passing from workbench to workbench until it's ready to use. Grado has been building headphones since 1953, starting on a kitchen table.
