Grado SR60 Headphones Reviews

Makes me happy

Posted 7/26/11

Pros: Sheer value for money

Despite being overpriced out of the U.S. they are still worth every penny. They make everything sound energetic and rich. But most importantly the sound they produce makes me grin uncontrollably. Also as a side note, on my ears these (with bowl pads/'L' pads) are circumaural because I have small ears - which is an added bonus for me.

Affordable entry level Headphones, you get what you pay for, buildquality is lacking and the sound quality is no match for serious headphones

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to drive, much better than "no-fi" headphones

Cons: Bass is too little, combined with too forward tonal balance, extremely cheap build

If you are looking for an affordable upgrade, they still beat the hell out of any earpod and cheapo set of ‘phones. Plus they work with your portable player/phone giving you enough sound level.

Pros: Great value, revealing sound, beautiful design

Cons: Sound leak

I was always interested in the Audiophile world, even since i watched High Fidelity a few years ago, i know, the movie is focused on the records, but i don't know, there was something there. I first heard of the Grados a few years ago, when i searched for then, i fell in love. The WWII-sh design, the simplicity, even the typography on it. Now i'm a grown man, i got a job and a beard, i thought it was time to finally meet the world i saw on High Fidelity. I got them 2 weeks ago, i'm still getting used to the whole new world of sound that these babies can delivery, and i'm loving it. Now my music has details that i didn't know that existed, and the mids...
