Grado's ability to combine lightness with extreme
rigidity and internal damping has been put to good
use on the SR125. Based on the same design as the
SR80, the SR125 features an improved diaphragm and
voice coil design and UHPLC (Ultra-high purity, long
crystal) copper voice coil wire. The Diaphragms are
put through a special 'de-stressing' process in order
to enhance inner detail. An improved headband spring
provides even greater comfort allowing the listener
to relax and enjoy the fine tonal spread and balance.
Bass, midrange and treble are all more open.
August 1999 Stuff Award ...neutral, detailed, and warm-sounding
headphones overall...and the ability to sound
natural at a wide range of volume
levels.
