"You’ll
be hard pressed to find a better pair of headphones for the money than
the Grado SR60. The upper mids/highs reveal excellent detail, and the
bass is solid too. I bought a pair about 8 years ago and I swear the
price was the same as it is today. Good price, simple looks, practical
and sophisticated where it counts: in the sound."
- Chris Jones / The Perfect Vision magazine |
"The Grado SR60 headphones are comfortable and lightweight, with excellent sound quality and soft pads. BEST BUY"
- Consumer Reports magazine |
"Frequently
described as “the gateway to audiophile sound,” the Grado SR60
headphones hold the title of “best full-size open headphones for less
than $100” – many models that cost twice as much don’t sound as good.
The retro-looking SR60 headphones have punchy but natural sound and
will floor most first-time listeners."

"...the Grado SR60s may just be the greatest audiophile value in the world"
- Ed Kobesky / Positive Feedback |
"BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! The SR60
offers near-studio-grade sound for a fraction of competitor’s prices.
In our test, these headphones unearthed previously unheard layers of
sound, thanks to the low distortion and high accuracy typically
available only in pricey phones you see cupping the ears of audio
engineers."
- CARGO magazine |
"Recently
I purchased an MP3 player and after seeing reviews on your SR60s, I had
to try a pair. Yikes!! I thought hi-fidelity was dead as a result of
digital. But not so! Your excellent phones have re-kindled my love of
music. Thank you! The only downside is I had to order pair of 325is!"

They're
made in Brooklyn, and they look as if they stepped out of a '60s music
studio, with their black plastic backs and retro styling. But make no
mistake; these are modern phones with the best sound of the phones we
tested. Audio is lifelike and balanced, with a nice open quality to the
highs and good bass. Great for iPods! For their price, they're an
absolute steal.

The SR60
has won numerous product of the year honors from a variety of respected
audiophile magazines and reviewers continually vote the SR60 at the top of what is a very lively pack of products. There has to be a reason for all this acclaim, and in the case of the SR60s, it's the sound, pure and simple.
- Leo Laporte, 2005 Gadget Guide |
Headphones
are a very personal choice, but the SR60s have amassed a cult following
among iPod users for exceptional audio quality and comfortable design.
The SR60s feature a vented diaphragm design with a non-resonant air chamber resulting in a deeper and cleaner bass than other phones.

I
love my iPod but hate its wimpy, tinny earbuds. So I replaced them with
a pair of Grado SR60s. They look like AV lab equipment circa 1981 yet
cater to audio snobs, packing high-end quality into lightweight plastic
ant foam. These can give vibrant fidelity, even at low volume.

"The Budget Grados stand comparison with Audiophile headphones costing many times their prices.

"The SR60 headphones sound impressively warm, lively and detailed. For the money, there is nothing quite like them."
- Time magazine / Fred Kaplan Vol.149, Vol.19 |
"The SR60 is an exceptional value with no peers in its price range."
- Radio World / Bruce Bartlett Vol.20, No.9 |
"The greatest bargain in all of portable audio-dom are the Grado SR60 headphones. They manifest a terrifically involving, rich sound which can civilize even a cheap portable CD player."
- FI magazine / Andrew Keen Vol.1, No.7 |
"These 'phones are so good for their price that I wouldn't be surprised if Grado has trouble keeping dealers stocked."
- Stereophile / Barry Willis Vol.17, No.5 |
