Hello,
The left channel on my sr-60s has started to make a little rattling sound. Is the speaker blown? Can it be fixed?

Thanks

could be a hair touching the driver

That sounds like the infamous grado rattle or "grattle" I have read about.


check out this link...they talk about a fix, assuming of course that is the problem:

Cup your hands around the grill and blow hard on it. Repeat until the rattle is gone.

Biggie.

Blow and suck.



Fixed mine right up!

For a second I thought I was in the wrong forum.

I'd rather try to pull them from the pads than out of my lungs!!

.....Yuck!!

My Grados suffer periodically from the notorious grattle. A sharp flick with my finger seems to fix it for a while.

sorry to resurrect the forum, but is there an easy way to remove the hair? it seems to me that blowing on it would only move it away from the driver temporarily.

anyone? i'd rather not take apart my ms-1's. any advice appreciated.

It does seem like it, doesn't it, but it still fixes the problem

Eventually you might want to clean it out. Vacuuming might possibly work, but it doesn't seem like it would. Taking the cups apart would work but you probably don't want to do that. Just blow gently and leave it be.

It could just be the type of music you're trying to play
I find the Grados rattle with heavy bass EQed music

I experienced this tons of times before... Just take the hairlines out every once in a while, since hair accumulates!
 
Sennheiser pads also help solve this issue for lower end Grado cans plus they are much more comfortable.
