Tight bass and excellent presence with flats. The rest of the sound spectrum on them is just as good. Upfront and very involving mids. And Grados are practically made for string istruments so guitars sound fenomenal too.
I like what I read about the SR225's strengths, but I have not owned one primarily due to how uncomfortable my SR80 was and also because I think I'd find the SR225 lacking in deep bass strength and extension.
