Grado SR60i

When it comes to headphones, there's been an embarrassment of riches lately, so much so that it's not uncommon to see completely different model lineups every year. Manufacturers seem to be churning out new designs or styles as soon as we start getting...

Wide-open, clear, and well-detailed sound ; Awesome midrange and vocal detail ; Deep, tight, and articulate bass ; Fatigue-free and pristine treble ; Sounds great on all different kinds of music ; Surprisingly comfortable fit and design

Space-age looks may be off-putting for some ; Foam earpad cushions can wear out over time

Even if you can spend more, you owe it to yourself to listen to the Grado SR60i before purchasing your next set of headphones.

Grado Prestige Series SR-60i

Retro-styled, over-the-ear model; sounds swell with portables; big bass; lively sonics.

Not the slickest-looking or most comfortable 'phones you can buy.

Grado's cheapest headphones belt out big sound with pint-size portable audio devices.

The Grado SR60i, compared to the SR60

The "i" update. Real or gimmick?

Thanks to Dayak and Annoep for making this review possible.

"Great sound but fragile"

I bought a set of SR60s approximately 1 1/2 years ago for use with my guitar/amp and at work.

Great open air sound

Fragile, Low life expectancy

"Excellent sound quality; grados got it where it counts most."

Great product for listening to music at home or work. Doesn't keep outside noise out, though. And everyone can hear what you hear, so it's not the best time to bring out your Spice World movie sound track. I don't know why everyone thinks they look...

Great sound. AND GRADOS LOOK AWESOME

Foam is a little too flimsy, and everyone can hear what I'm listening to

"Superb, but only for home listening"

These Grados serve up incredible sound fidelity for their price; they might be the best sub-$100 headphone.

Great sound quality and build quality

Not for portable use

"Perfect for MP3's and private listening."

Sounds great with ipod and laptop--makes MP3's sound fuller and more nuanced than I thought possible.

Leak so much sound that everyone within 15 feet will get to enjoy the music too--really not useful with portables for this reason.

"Excellent headphones and nice people"

In addition to the great sound that you'll hear about, their customer service is amazing. I never filled out my warranty card, but when I, probably through rough use, bent my miniplug slightly, they fixed it for free, and even sent back the 5 dollars I'd

Well, there are more comfortable headphones out there, but these are still pretty nice.

Awesome, even if they were twice the price!

In short: These are the best sounding headphones of any that I've ever purchased! In my last headphone review, I commented that I really liked these, but chose the others because of the need for more sound isolation. Well, about a year later [about a...

Awesome Sound! Easy to power. No "hot ear" effect. Lightweight

Sound leakage, not as comforable or stylish as some others

A definite must buy if you listen in a quiet sedentary environment. Not so great for on-the-go use.
