I wouldn't say that the SR-60 has a U shaped freq. response... most will agree they have very strong mids.

Also, the bass on these are excellent. I think they even rival my 2005 DT770s with my HeadFive

. Seriously, I love these things so much more than my Beyers... and at about 1/4 of the price.

Today is my second day with the SR60's. The treble has tripled overnight! (let play at medium volume overnight) I was worried when I heard them yesterday for the first time. All I heard was bass and midrange sound. I am happy now!!

The SR 60's are really amazing at their price. I bought a pair for my brother and now he's drooling over the RS-1's. There is no better introduction to a line of headphones than the SR-60.

Are you sure you were listening to the SR60s on the first day??

Maybe me being a Sennheiser fan, I clearly got a sense of the SR60 being treble heavy when I first listened to them.

Spareribs, congrats on the purchase! Maybe it was because I was used to better headphones, but I agree with LuckyKarma. The more expensive Grados are better SQ. For me, the SR325is are the best price/performance Grados. But it looks like you'll be trying a lot of Grados pretty soon

I agree with Daverose - the treble shouldn't be lacking

I have a semi-strong urge to buy a Grado/Alessandro to expand my horizons. I've been thinking of the ms1 because of its greater 'neutrality'. Is this a good starting point or should I go for ms2/sr-225/sr-325?

I'm also new to grado headphones. Went to a shop where I can listen to them, just wanted to know what's so special about grados. Well, despite the fact, that a Beyer DT990 is on it's way, I just couldn't resist: now I'm a proud owner of some SR 80s. Just amazing...straight out of the box it sounds great.

Time to put my wallet in a safe and forget where the keys are...

Oooh....I'm biting my tongue and biting my lip and trying not to say anything!

Aaaarrrrrgh!

"If I knew then what I know now".....oh how I hate that statement!!
mad.gif


Or how about this one......."I wish I wouldn't have bought my MS-1. I wish I wouldn't have bought my MS2i"
frown.gif


".....I wish I'd have just gone straight for MS-Pro."
rs1smile.gif


But that's just me. At any rate; I really am very fond of both my MS-1 and my MS2i. And it is rather difficult to justify moving up to the MS-Pro without a fairly major update to the rest of my system.

But I suppose it would be safe to say that if a person bought MS2i or SR325i to avoid the first generation upgraditus bug, it should be fairly easy to sell it if it didn't suit a listeners tastes.
