The cables coming from both sides can be a bit of a nuisance.
The styling isnt cutting edge either.
Grado must be doing something right though, the SR60i`s just didnt fit in with my personal tastes and I was never going to be a potential buyer anyway, how do the lovers of those cans get around the niggles I could not live with ?

They quickly soften with use, or washing. Bending the headband to reduce clamping helps, too. If you're demoing them, you might feel constrained, but it's just a piece of springy steel, so you won't hurt it at all. Grab and stretch.
The headband bothers me, too. I wrapped mine in some elk leather I had. I suspect it's because of my pointy head and 1/4" hair. Wear a hat if you try them again.
What kind of music do you normally listen to? Grado tends to be suggested for folks who are listening to rock, esp. electric guitar. And they might grow on you.
I feel off-balance with single entry cables.
I like the fact that they look like something a WWII radio-telephone operator would wear. I have no compunctions about wearing them in public.

I think the thread title was a bit, um, well, harsh. I was surprised to read the relatively mild comments after bracing for the "worst". I think perhaps the title would have been better as "Tried Grado SR-60, no love, just me?"
