Grado SR-60 Consumer Headphones

Pros: Awesome sound... durable... stylish in a weird way.
Cons: May be chunky to some.

For a period of my life -- specifically, before I had a real job and could afford anything that wasn't free -- I was content with using cheap headphones that came packaged with cheap Walkmans and such. What did I know? I didn't. They were fine as far as ...

Pros: awesome clarity and detail, punchy bass, great buy
Cons: not everyone digs the Grado sound, uncool retro look, ear fatigue after long periods

"You'll be hard pressed to find a better pair of headphones for the money ...." - Chris Jones / The Perfect Vision magazine "...an exceptional value with no peers in its price range." - Radio World / Bruce Bartlett Vol.20, No.9 "...BEST BUY" ...

Pros: Comfortable, thick, durable wires, sounds beautiful
Cons: Everyone around you can hear what you're listening to

Having read other rave reviews about these speakers, I decided to look for a pair. I saw a free shipping deal with J&R's in NYC so decided to buy from them. $69, shipped free w/ no tax, unless you live in New York. I had to wait a few weeks to use them ...

Pros: Excellent sound Good price from ttvj.com Entry level audiophile quality
Cons: -Expensive -Uncomfortable due to cord -Everyone can hear what you hear

Not to imply that the other review are not honest, but I will try to be as straightforward as possible. I have a distinguishing ear. I had read all about these headphones as it seems most do, and saved up for about 3 months to purchase them. In the ...

Pros: Clear, big, warm sound . Great value with an awesome retro look.
Cons: Not for jogging or walking. May not be great for all mixing/monitoring situations

I purchased a pair of Grado SR-60s about 51/2 years ago and have never regretted the purchase. I have a special bag for them and my disc player. The chord is very sturdy. I had a little scare one time about a year ago when there was a short. Somehow it ...

Pros: Ridiculously good "live performance" sound for the moolah.
Cons: You'll want to re-listen to your entire music collection; friends will worry.

Consider the recording session: Microphones just so, engineers hovering over control boards, musicians keen on/ever being prodded to capture that elusive take. It's a calculated coming-together of various, often seemingly-contradictory elements to create ...

Pros: Great sound, enhanced dynamic range. Great buy for the money. Heavy duty cord.
Cons: The earpads ability to fold into a flat position scares me.

I purchased the Grado SR-60 headphones on a whim. I had heard that one of my favorite guitarists, Eric Johnson, is a fan of their products. I know that he is very picky and discriminating about audio quality, as am I. I have a bit of a headphone ...

Pros: Impeccable sound, quality construction, made in the USA
Cons: Ugly (a con if you actually care), open design lets sound in and out

Where do I start... well I bought these from an amazon.com affiliate store. They arrived in time for Christmas, and I tried them for the first time on Christmas day. I tested them with the Incubus song Are You In?. They just about glistened with ...

Pros: Inexpensive, great sounding, efficient, made by a little outfit in Brooklyn.
Cons: May reveal the true quality of your MP3 collection.

After hearing raves for the Grado phones for years, I finally bought the entry-level SR60s last December. My goal was to find something more fun with which to listen to my ever expanding library of digital music via my iPod or when working at my ...

Pros: Incredible sound - accurate, focused, transparent. Comfortable. Well-made. Inexpensive.
Cons: None...other than I wish I bought these years ago!

I purchased these headphones to serve as a method to enjoy music on my home audio system, computer games, and my home studio without having to disturb my wife, as we live in a relatively small condominium. I purchased a set of Panasonic headphones a ...

Pros: Clean, transparent sound. Inexpensive for the sound quality.
Cons: Nothing worth noting.

Saved my pennies for these (Literally. I had a jar full of coins) and am infinitely happy with them. I haven't heard any other headphones in this price range that are as clean, transparent and natural sounding as these. They sound great across the ...

Pros: Outstanding sound quality, far above any other $60 pair, and bass to match the price.
Cons: On the expensive side for some, sound gets in, slightly uncomfortable after a couple hours.

My brother actually owns these, but I use them more than him :) For under 100 dollars, these are by far the best headphones for a portable player you'll find. OK, so there's a couple sub-100 ones that are better, but if you look closely at reviews and ...

Pros: Excellent sound quality. Reasonable price.
Cons: Not very comfortable after 3-4 hours. Requires two hands to put on and take off.

These head phones sound incredible. Especially when the low price is considered. I love them and brought them to work to listen to all day long. I've been using them for nearly 6 months almost every day. They are fairly comfortable for the first...

Pros: sound, affordable
Cons: fragile, don't count on e-mail support

I compared this headphone with the SR-80, and had difficulty hearing much difference in sound. The SR-80 has a better set of the foam things that touch your ears though. I consider complaints more valuable for sites like this, so that is what I ...

Pros: Nice sense of air and "soundstage," smooth wide-ranging sound.
Cons: The cord - awful. Feels like wearing a stethoscope.

I first purchased a pair of Grado SR-60's after hearing a lot of rave reviews of these headphones on ...
