Product Description
The Grado SR60 Headphones have gained legendary status and rave reviews from hardcore audiopiles around the world.

Best bang for the buck on the market.......2007-12-24
You simply can't find better headphones for the money. The SR-60s blow away everything else in the under $100 market, and give plenty of headphones that cost more than $100 a good run for their money as well. Their closest challenger are Grado's own SR-80s at $100.
The SR-60s, and Grado headphones in general, have a more visceral sound to them than most other headphones. Sennheisers have a tendency to provide too wide of a soundstage and make it very noticable that you're listening to a recording, whereas Grado headphones make it sound like the instruments are being played mere feet from where you're sitting.
The only complaint I have about them is that they could be more comfortable. That's where Sennheisers, AKG and others really shine in comparison to Grados. Most of them are circumaural, whereas Grados are all supraaural, so they sit directly on your ears, rather than around your ears. But the sound is so much better as a result. It's completely worth it. Take a break every hour or two and they won't bother you a bit.
The SR-60s' audio fidelity is unmatched by anything close to their price range. I highly recommend them.
Perfect for the Young Digital Music Enthusiast.......2007-12-21
I spent a long time looking through reviews comparing headphones, Boss, JBL, Sony.... when I found the Grado lines here on Amazon. The reviews, the look, it all went right up my alley.
I thought about getting the $150+ pair, then the $100 plus pair and only when I really realized how little of the music's true quality I was really going to get from my mp3 collection did I decide these were both overkill, again; judging from reviews.
I couldn't be happier, I can't say they are the best headphones ever made, but I get the feeling that this company could do it and probably has on one of their higher lines. These are beautiful, comfortable (!) and highly enjoyable headphones. The retro styling, the light padding and the way it feels like you're the first guy to roll back the tape on a Dylan recording, if like me you used street legal as a first play, all add up to an extremely gratifying purchase.
Unless you're entire collection is .flac or 320kbps and you want to throw in a headphone amplifier I would recommend these headphones to you.
SR60.......2007-11-07
Holy Jesus!
I should have taken the warnings more seriously. These do sound great and they aren't going to kill the pocket book like bose but these things are loud. I read that people can hear them but you seriously might as well buy some portable speakers and plug them into your player because everybody and their mom will hear these things (almost as well as you can)! They may sound great but it defeats the purpose of wearing headphones when everybody is going to hear what you are listening to anyway.
Great sound, but I prefer it amped........2007-11-03
There were four main reasons why I decided to buy the Grado SR60:
1 - You can only research decent headphones before you realize 99% of the places you look only have great things to say about the SR60s.
2 - I needed something for work, and sometimes home, when I needed to be able to hear what was going on around me.
3 - I had spoiled myself for the past year with my Shure E4Cs, but wasn't about to go and spend $600 on a pair of Sennheisers... this year. :)
4 - My E4Cs were in for repair and I needed a decent pair of headphones to hold me over (NOTE: Yes, this is more of an excuse as opposed to a reason.)
For as little as I paid for them, comparatively, I was absolutely blown away by the sound I was getting. The bass is nice and crunchy, but can be very smooth when it needs to be. The overall sound is pretty balanced, although there are times when I lose a bit too much of the midrange for my liking. Still, the Grado SR60s are built to impress.
A lot of places I looked at said these don't really need a portable headphone amp (I'm using the Headroom Total Airhead.) While I agree with them, to a point, I think the sound is extremely improved when bypassing the iPod headphone jack. Also, when not using the amp, I found myself having to turn the volume up to ~3/4 full. Part of this comes from the fact that these are completely open headphones, so the music is having to cut through ambient noise. Still, the amount I had to crank up the volume leads me to recommend getting an amp to more easily push the sound.
Speaking of openness, and this has been talked about aplenty, people around you will be able to hear your music. It isn't blaring at regular listening levels, but you can definitely hear the music coming from it.
So, to sum up, the Grado SR60s are an incredibly solid buy for anyone looking to upgrade their listening experience. Again, while fully capable of pushing the sound out of your iPod/mp3 player of choice, a decent headphone amp really unleashes the extra little "oompf" that these headphones pack.
Great headphones.......2007-10-30
The sound as previous reviewers mentioned is stellar. I'm getting to hear my music collection all over again in much richer detail. Also, they are extremely comfortable. The pads are soft and the band bent well to suit my larger-than-average head.
However I needed to get an extension cable to get them to work with my system. Also since there's no in-line volume I'm going to have to get a new keyboard with volume controls.
