SR60i Dynamic Open-Air Stereo Headphones, Based on the SR60, Upgraded Drivers, Adjustable Headband, Foam Ear Cushions, Copper Voice Coil and Cable, 3.5mm Plug with 1/4" Adapter

Have owned many headphones over the years. Koss, Sony, Clarke, Bang&Olufsen. These are, hands down the best I have ever owned. Even at low levels, the sound clarity is magnificent. Use them with my computer and a Kenwood receiver from the mid 70's. Thanks to the guys at Grado for helping me enjoy the music!! For what is called an "entry level" product, these things are stunning.

These are almost an all around great headphone. The ideal "bang for your buck." The soundstage is small, like your in a room with the artist. the highs are fun, treble is solid, bass is not overpowering, but still there and the mids are nice too. The detail and clarity are what makes this headphone. Honestly the only things I would change would be cord length (shorten it), and also these are NOT noise-canceling, plus they leak badly (even on low volumes). I recommend these for home use, there are not portable. Though the open-back design results in sound leakage, it also results in better sound quality. Get these!

Lightwieght very detailed well balanced sound.<br >The Bass improves with use but is really adequate given that their balanced and designed to accurately produce the music spectrum. If you want really booming bass go with the 80. These wont require an amplifier like Ive heard the 80s benefit more from. <br >The thing I like the most is the crisp sound, open air design and lack of bass fatigue. I can listen an hour without pain or feeling over exposed. They seem to get better with each use.<br >The headband is basic metal covered vinyl but you can pad it if you like. I find these to be comfortable enough for my listening sessions , no ear pressure pain.<br >1/8 and 1/4 jack, flexible thick butyl 4 conductor cord. Improved driver over the 60 and deeper cans with nice pads. <br >People say its like sitting in with the band or being in the studio with the artist. <br >These cans will uncover most recording flaws and accentuate the music so you hear detail you havent heard before. <br >Overall great performance at this price level.<br >Mp3 devices drive these fine!

Lovely midrange -- very open sound. Most headphones in this price-range are junk. These are really very good -- the best value out there, in my opinion.

My son is in college. He needs a pair of earphones that will allow him to block out noise and deliver quality sound without consuming his entire Christmas budget. Thirst earphones were top on his list!

This is my 3rd pair of the Grado headphones (2pr SR60 &amp; 1 pr SR80) in the past 2 years. Grado's are unequivocally the best headphones I have ever tried and are unbeatable when it comes to &quot;quality of sound vs the price&quot;--AMAZING! These sound better then many other overpriced brands I've tried. I use them mainly for recording in my home studio and casual listening. I would have given a +5 rating but in my opinion they are poorly constructed; hence, my 3rd pair in 2 years. Here I'm not referring to the sound engineering but rather the external materials and construction process. I hated to deduct the point given their magnificent sound quality, light weight, comfort and price, but was compelled in order to provide honest feedback. If anyone is thinking of purchasing headphones you certainly can't go wrong with these SR60's at a measly [...]

Got it with 25% Bing cashback. Best thing about this pair is the value and it is never on discount, just like Apple products. The size is a little bigger than I was expecting, but acceptable. Pretty comfortable. When compared with my Sennheiser HD555, which is at least 50% more expensive in price, SR60i is richer in bass, but not as clear and accurate; SR60i has very good performance in mids and the highs are okay as well. However, do notice that this is an open-design headphone, which means it will leak sound and it doesn't block ambient noise. Almost all top headphones are open-design.

These are the best value in hi-fi headphones for relaxing and truly enjoying music as it should sound. Great sound staging, incredibly clear vocals, and very true highs and lows. The extra heavy cord is very durable, but not geared for portable use. Since this are an open air design, they are also no for noisy environments or where others on in close quarters.

This is one great set of headphones! I use them with my A/V receiver to listen to classical music on HD FM radio, with my CD player to listen to same, and with my nook e-reader's audio player. All are exceptional. I have purchased a tubed headphone amplifier for them also, but it has not arrived yet. Audio is particularly smooth, natural and full, with no inappropriate colorations. So far, I have experienced no discomfort from wearing them.

These headphones are a very good bargain. It's my first time buying specific headphones (other than the ones you get with your product) and I am fully satisfying by this buy! The sound is simply amazing, and I am not even sure I will upgrade in the future to something else, unless I want to go for noice-canceling ones! Only con, the cord is a bit too long to use daily with an Iphone or Ipod at the beginning, but you get used to it soon!

These are really fine phones for a great price. Now I've never used any pro-level headsets, the kind which retail for hundreds of dollars, but I'd be hard-pressed to see how you could beat these for home use, either to monitor a live recording or to just listen to music.

These headphones (The SR60i, not the original SR60) provide very good sound, and arguably the best sound for the money. However, the sound has flaws and I don't think they quite live up to some of the raving reviews.First, I thought I was buying the original, acclaimed SR60, [...] However, [...] is actually selling the new &quot;i&quot; model. I was a bit disappointed, as I am highly skeptical of &quot;new, improved&quot; versions of acclaimed products. Often, the new is not as good as the old (as evidenced by the awful Sennheiser PX100-II, which are nowhere near as good as the original).Now, I have never heard the original SR60, so I don't know if these are better, worse, or about the same.The midrange is everything it is cracked up to be. Vibrant, spacious, and velvety smooth.The upper midrange and lower treble (below 8K) are excellent too. One of the few headphones below $300 where nothing sounds too bright or too dull, across various recordings. I can listen to old 70's and 80's recordings that sound thin and bright on lesser cans, and they are great on the Grados.The bass is ok- not great, not bad. I don't have an issue with the amount of bass, but the quality is average. In fact, the low end reminds me a lot of the Koss PortaPros. Not very articulate, detailed or sweet sounding, and things get lost in the thickness, but still pleasant to listen to.The midbass on the SR60i is quite colored. There is an unnatural warmth noticable on most recordings. Again, usually not unpleasant and it makes for a thicker, more vibrant sound than a portable like the PX100 or PortaPro, but noticeable to the point that your attention is definitely drawn to it while listening.The achilles heel of these headphones are their inability to handle high frequency transients well. There is a noticeable &quot;lisp&quot; on sharp &quot;s&quot;, &quot;f&quot;, and &quot;t&quot; consonants, as well as hotly-recorded cymbals and hi-hats- even when the original recording is not overly sibilant. PX100s handle these better than the Grado, and the PortaPros handle them much better. The effect sounds a lot like how a cheap phono cartridge sounds on the aforementioned types of transients. This began to get on my nerves the more I listened to these cans (I have broken them in with about 50 hours and this has not yet improved). Other than this, the highs are quite natural and not overdone like many cheap phones.Overall I would definitely recommend the SR60i. I agree they are probably the best in the price range, and compared to what most people have heard, they are a major improvement. They can be driven quite well by most portable music players, including iPhone.The sound is very full and lively, and fun to listen to.In comparison to other competing and acclaimed products, they blow the Senn PX100-II out of the water (as do the PortaPros), they are notably better than the original PX100, and they are similar to the PortaPro. The overall bass quality is similar, the mids are much better on the SR60i, but the PortaPros handle high frequency transients notably better than all of the above.I actually find the PortaPro's less fatiguing to listen to over an extended period (an hour or more) than the SR60i, but the SR60 is less fatiguing than most, and overall a modest step-up from the PortaPro.

PREFACE: A while ago, I stumbled upon the J&amp;R website by accident while looking for some cheaper Panasonic headphones that were hard to find. I was amazed at the wide selection of products this store has, and not just for audio needs. On a limited budget and going off rave reviews from all over the net, I eventually decided to buy the Grado SR60's. PRODUCT: Strangely, despite the New York location of Grado headquarters, J&amp;R is not stocking the SR60i headphones yet, the improved, newer iteratios of Grado headphones. No matter, the Grado SR60's are incredible. Much better than any other headphone I've ever purchased and I've spent up to $120 before on other brands. Definitely worth buying if you're on a lower budget and want very high quality sound.That said, the SR60's put a lot of pressure on my ears, visible from the indents on the foam pads, but luckily it's possible to bend the metal headband outward to make them sit much lighter on my ears, as suggested by Grado themselves. Also, you will definitely hear ambient noise with these due to design, so it's better to use them in a quiet environment like the home. Don't buy these if you plan on being mobile and listening to music on the go. All in all though, the high quality sound really did live up to the Grado name and SR60's reputation. After hours of listening, I only made one small EQ adjustment in the bass frequencies (+2dB @ 55Hz and +1dB @ 77Hz in Foobar2000). Finally, make sure your source is at least V0/320kbps MP3 audio, if not lossless. Don't buy these if your music collection consists of 128-192kbps MP3s. In the future, I'm definitely going to look at the higher-tier Grado headphones amongst other contenders.[...]

I would recommend this. When I opened the package I looked at the large headphone jack. This would not fit the computer plug. Then I looked at the video on JR and saw that the large plug comes off and reveals a smaller plug (Perfect for computers).<br ><br >Mark

I am an audio professional but use these for my personal listening. Not sure if they are as &quot;flat&quot; as my professional headphones but even if they are &quot;colored&quot; it is pleasant.
