GRADO SR60x Prestige Series Wired Open-Back Headphones – Dynamic Over-Ear Headphones with 44mm Drivers, Lightweight Build, Hand-Assembled in Brooklyn – Audiophile Sound for Home & Studio

At the price, these are fantastic. Clear and crisp, GREAT for classical, spoken content, and movies, and also surprisingly comfortable: super light, not much clamping force, and you can bend the headband for the perfect fit. While I like the pads it came with, I’d recommend the G-pads, as they reduce a bit of the brightness just a hair and warm the sound just a hair.I also have the SR325X, and while I prefer those due to the stronger bass, I wouldn’t have at all been unhappy with these. And I say that as someone who also owns and loves their HiFiMan Ananda, Focal Clear, and Meze Empyrean Elites (which are arguably the polar opposite of the sr60x).Quick tip: if you want to EQ for a bit more bass, go with the sr80x: the sr60x distort pretty quickly when you EQ bass up. But if it’s just a hair, get the G-pads.

I always saw mixed reviews on these headphones. But, I can say after listening to these, I am pleasantly surprised by the sound. Maybe not the most accurate sounding headphones, but they have a fun, lively sound that is a nice alternative to a reference style can.

Really good sound quality for the price. If you just need a good set of wired headphones without noise canceling and you don't want to spend multiple, multiple hundreds of dollars, these are a great choice.

When my previous Grado headphones died due to the cable breaking ( costs almost as much as the 'phones to have Grado fix them), I was severely aggravated. The company had a rather cavalier attitude to the problem and I wasn't going to replace them. But, after the new models came out with a substantially better cable I gave in to temptation and bought this version. It didn't take long before I realized that I missed using these as a daily driver. I have other headphones but these are the easiest to just put on and use for a wide variety of listening needs. Hopefully the new braided cable will solve what I found out has been a long standing problem with Grado headphones.

Let me preface this, I do not leave reviews typically. So imagine my surprise when I'm binging on youtube and find several videos telling me about how sound produced on most earbuds and headsets isn't what you necessarily think. Queue the next video showing off a pair of Grado SR60 e's, these headphones are deceptively nice. They're incredibly comfortable on my much larger than normal head (I can't wear most headphones or even generic helmets.) The padding is enough that it clamps down on the skull but not even close to cause discomfort. The build quality is cheaper than others in the Grado lineup, but this is also their budget model in comparison to what they offer. Now these headphones offer something that almost every pair of headphones chooses to shy away from, open back headphones. You can hear everything as if the music was just part of the environment. This said sound does spill out so don't use these to keep your music taste private or in an attempt to be polite in close quarters. This all said the sound produced by Grado Labs has ruined every single pair of headphones and earbuds I have ever used up to this point. It's almost as if you walked into your grandad's garage and hooked up his old stereo system. I won't go into detail but this is genuinely a religious experience if you thought you loved music before. This all said there's one vital piece to the puzzle that is NOT provided. A DAC. The audio out of the box is already superb and I was definitely happy with it, HOWEVER a DAC is the key to unlocking the true potential of these headphones. You don't need anything expensive to make these sound better, a cheap usb-c or lightning to 3.5mm audio DAC is perfectly fine to get started! Overall I cannot recommend these enough to everyone!

The cord was very uncomfortable. I did not realize these had the wires on both sides instead of only one and I hated having to move the awful cord out of the way. It was very scratchy and hard to manipulate. The earpads were also scratchy and unexpected for the price point.The headband and outer cups were actually pretty nice and it was lightweight. I liked the smaller size of the earpads since other headphones in this price range can be massive. The headband fit was not particularly tight and did not create pressure.Sound-wise these were pretty great since I was looking for less bass. They had nice high treble but I found it fatiguing after extended listening. Only thing holding me back from keeping them was the cord.

There are lot of high end headphones that are supposed to sound more detailed than Grado. Some of them sound good, like the sound you get in a pro cinema. The Grados however, sound as if you brought your granddads old hi-fi stereo with you on the go. Warm, pleasant and engaging. You are literally bringing your stationary hi-fi with you out. I also own the old SR125. They sound more detailed. Still, the driver upgrades into the x-revision provides a punchier, more immediate sound.One drawback, though, is that their open design will diminish some of the enjoyment you get when out on a hike. Even in the park. Sound leaks in and raises the noise floor. However, it is not advisable to compensate with higher volume. For the health of your hearing.I therefore wish that the wizards at Grado would use their expertise to try and implement the same sound into closed cans with active noise cancellation. Preferably on-ears. Also, make sure that headphone-volume measuring apps gives a correct reading of the Grados specifically(not only Beats or earpods).Oh, and I use the Yaxi pads for Porta Pro on my Grados.

Amazing sound quality!! Totally impressed how these sound, u won't be disappointed!!!
