Amazing sound, comfortable, and decidedly affordable.

I use the headphones with my ipod . I bought a Mcoy headphone amp for these but the amp is a little to much for them . The large sound stage and well blended mids and highs are very impressive for such a cheap set of cans . My only con for these would be they don't reproduce the lows very well .

I listen to a wide array of genre and I was looking for a budget high quality headphone. After a few days of research, I got SR60i. After a long long time I am hearing tones and beats and flicks in the audio track that I've barely heard before. I am in fact upgrading from a worn out >$100 sony over the ear. The SR60i looks vintage (I like it), but closer examination shows that it is almost made of cheesy plastic with cords running through a plastic tube that twists. But looks and capability are two different subjects when it comes to SR60i. All in all, it is highly modable headphone and is just amazing at what it is supposed to do.

Sounds excellent! Never fatiguing. Can listen to music or movies for hours and never get tried. Loud action movies , no problem. A lot more comfortable than earbuds. Can beat it for the price. Bought my pair on B & H Photo, [...]

I use this product on my iPad and antique McIntosh 1900 receiver. The fidelity is phenomenal; what one would expect from a Grado product. I also like the dual size plug, fitting contemporary devices and older devices.

And, its American made in Brooklyn New York. Its great to see quality American made products.

The phones themselves are constructed of lightweight plastic and while I have no reason to doubt the longevity of this product, it lacks the heavy duty appearance of competing products. I rate this product as 4.5 out of 5 and I'm very fussy.

Thanks B&H

Really awesome headphones. I've been meaning to buy these for a while and they sound great. I use them every day and I'm ridiculously satisfied. The only thing that I'd like is if they didn't leak so much sound. But really, for the price of such high quality headphones, it doesn't even matter.

I owned a pair of SR-60s for about 10 years before they finally gave out due to accidentally snagging the cord on a table, something I'd done probably a hundred times before. It took me all of 15 minutes before I ordered another pair. It was an easy decision given that these are one of the best purchases I've ever made.

If you are passionate about music, you will not regret buying these. You will feel closer to your music and discover subtleties you've never heard before. They sound as good or better than a $1000 stereo, but you can take them anywhere. I find them extremely comfortable even with glasses and listen for hours at a time without any soreness.

The one thing you should be aware of before buying these, though, is that they are open headphones. This means that other people can easily hear your music, so they are not suitable for work environments. Otherwise, I recommend them without any reservations.

I use these headphones at work and at home. At work I have to listen with low volume because of sound leakage, but they still sound great. At home I can turn up the volume and let the sound 'bloom'

This is my second set of Grado cans (previous pair was original SR60) and I love them. I'm a huge fan of bang-for-the-buck products and this definitely falls into that category. The clarity is exceptional. Sometimes I will be listening to a song I've heard a million times through other speakers (car, home stereo, etc) and I will notice something I had never heard before.

I bought these for my daughter to use with her ipod. She is always playing music through her laptop speakers or using cheap portable speakers. The frequency response is great and even playing MP3 files she is hearing things in her music she never heard before. She has said thank you many times.

These were definitely worth the price, and the sound is amazing. With an affordable amplifier they really perform at their peak. Even without an amp, these headphones make songs take on multiple dimensions, I call it the "room effect", where you feel like you're listening to music being played from multiple points in a room, all around you, near and far. I'm appreciating old songs in ways I had never heard them before. Using them to edit music I made in Garageband, and I can hear the bass in samples that I wasn't able to hear on my computer speakers. I love these headphones! if you buy these, do know that they take about a week to "break in" before you really hear the awesome sound they are capable of.

WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WANTING EXCELLENT SOUND WITHOUT COMPETITION IN THE PRICE RANGE. SEE THE STEREOPHILE REVIEW. IT IS ACCURATE.

Comments about Grado SR60i Dynamic Open-Air Stereo Headphones:

Having tested many, many different pairs of headphones, I finally settled on the Grado SR60i cans as the best blend of price/value out there. The sound quality is nothing short of fantastic, with these headphones sounding better than the much higher-priced competition. You owe it to yourself to give these a try. You will NOT be disappointed. Whether it's listening through a high-end stereo system or an iPod or iPhone, the nuances uncovered with these cans are a delight.

I bought these for my son to use with his iPod and laptop. He was quickly addicted, though he did comment about his ears being a bit sore after many hours of listening. I made a comparison to my Sennheiser HD 580s and found that the Grados were much more sensitive and sounded very good, but did not have quite as much low-end reach or articulation. To be fair, I'm sure some of Grado's pricier offerings would be more competitive in this regard. While the bulky and long cord limits its use on the go, I heartily recommend the Grados for anyone listening to portable devices.

These are excellent headphones, that sound very different from most headphones manufactured today and naturally the sound is the most honest. With no fake bass boosting, the SR60i's put you right in the middle of the recording room, bringing to life many records. They will go as loud as you can crank it. Do be careful, because the is absolutely no distortion at high levels. Excellent looks, durability just the plastic material might seem a bit cheap, but for this price they are the best headphones in the market.

At 80 years old I can hear dialog clearly with these earphones.

I've only had these headphones for about 2 weeks but so far so good. They're light weight, comfortable and sound great. I like the thick, long cord and the retro, utilitarian look of them.
