What are some good quality headphones that look like Grado sr60i but are closed so i can use them while out. I am looking for some that are around 100 bucks or less. thanks in advance for your answers.

I don't think you will find any headphones that are closed and look like a Grado because no other headphone looks like a Grado... I'm pretty sure that recognizable Grado look is exclusive only to Grado.
 
You should be able to find a headphone that sounds like a Grado and is closed in your price range though...

Heya,

Only a Grado looks like a Grado I'm afraid. And Grado doesn't have a closed back in that form. Kind of like how Hifiman doesn't have a closed back in their current line form (which makes me sad).
 
Now, do you like the sound of a Grado? Or are you talking strictly about the look of a Grado?
 
Very best,

Thanks, for your answer.I like the look of the Grado the minimalist retro look. The sound doesn't have to be like them because I can still use the ones i have. These would be mainly for outside the house, but i still want them to be good and have a nice sound. Also this should help i will be listening to mainly rock,metal,alternative and some classical.

Sony MDR v6, aggressive like a Grado but have a sweet tooth on the bass as well so they don't sting as much. They share a fairly similar sound.

Heya,
 
Fostex T50RP (with amp).
 
Also retro-ish looking, plus uses interesting tech (ortho). Very moddable. Highly re-sellable. Mids monster, so great for your genres.
 
Very best,

Thanks for the suggestion. They seem good from the reviews I  have seen, but how do they sound without an amp?

I've looked this up and I like them especially the metal casing. Except the cable it seems pretty long. Could it be recabled with a shorter cord? And do you know where i could find a tutorial?

the cable is pretty manageable, it can be re-cabled or just lopped off at a shorter area and put a new plug onto it. I would suggest using the search function on this forum, I know a couple threads had in depth instruction for first time cablers.

Thanks, I am most likely going to go with these now. The reviews on them have been great and they seem durable. I can worry about recabling it later.
Thank you again.

These things could be the soul survivor of a train wreck he he he.
