Grado SR60i Open Back Headphones (Grado SR 60i) [HH00123]

Grado SR60i Description

Grado SR60i Open Back Headphones Prestige Series. Economical is the word that Grado Labs in Brooklyn are spreading with the SR60i Headphones. Award winning and incredible sound at a price point that is hard to beat. Durable materials have been employed in the creation of the SR60i with spongy soft earcups and flexible vinyl headband along with metal height adjusters. The superiority of the material is harmonised in quality by the open and lucid soundstage of the Grado SR60i.

The open design of the SR60i's ear cups offer a sound that has little noise attenuation from external resonance. This means that those around you will hear sound ‘leaking' from the headphones. However, the advantage of this attribute, due to the lack of sound bouncing back from the earcups, is an open and noticeably lucid sound representation. Portable media players have no difficulty driving the SR60i, nonetheless a headphone amplifier will perk up the overall detail of treble and add additional power to the bass response.

Open cell foam utilised by Grado Labs for the earpads covering the vented diaphragm is made from soft, porous material providing an extra comfortable fit. Metal height adjusters assure the SR60i will stay put when on the move. A rotation of 360° of these metal adjusters also means that the SR60i can lie flat on surfaces making them ideal for travelling.

Recommended by experts around the globe, the SR60i has achieved "legendary" status and has been in production for over ten years. Maintained by outstanding specialist reviews the SR60i is looking forward to many more years on the marketplace.

Pioneering value for money and excellent sound quality - John Grado, Brooklyn, USA.

"No stranger to our Awards pages, these open-backed Grados have given you all the sound quality of a serious speaker set-up at pocket-money prices. Snap up a pair now, if you haven't done so already."

"Grado seemed like headphones from a bygone age, but they sure as heck dont sound like it. Our 1999 award winners are classy affairs, able to deliver the full frequency spectrum with devistating ease. Base weight is great and for imaging quality, detail, delicacy and shear enjoyable musicality, the Grados are sensational.

CNET Evaluates Grado SR60i - Very Good

"The spunky Grado SR60 has attracted a fanatical following. Listen, and you'll know why."

WIRED Magazine - Stuart Luman

"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".
