Used Grado SR225e Open-Back for $162

If you are interested in getting the Grado SR-225e used, and have some patience (eg, you don’t need them yesterday), there are multiple listings of them in “Used – Good” condition for $162 at Amazon Warehouse Deals. If supply wins over demand, the Amazon price bots may discount them in the future. This is of course only a guess, as no one (probably not even Amazon employees) can guess for sure since Amazon is very data-driven and (their software/bots) make multiple on-the-fly adjustments.

The headphones themselves average 4.3 out of 5 based on 100+ customer reviews. There are many philosophies on what the entry-point into Grado might be for one. Some suggest the low risk approach of the SR80/SR60, others the SR125, and yet others the SR225.
