These wooden backed cans are a joy to listen to

  • For

    Emotive mid-range, amazing detail, fluid bass, clear treble - everything really, excellent construction and quality

  • Against

    idiosyncratic styling might put some off

With their open backed wood earpieces and long rubber cord, these Grados are lookers, although comfort might be an issue for some.

They offer a rich, detailed sound that's punchier than the Grado SR325is. The mid-range is emotive, while the clear treble and fluid bass contribute to the honest picture they produce. A joy to listen to.
