[Tsukuoymi656]

i dont understand how people say these are ugly....they are gorgeous.

[jayr168]

Listening to this review on my Grado SR60i

[wungabunga]

Just snagged a pair for 45 pounds. First ever decent set of headphones. Also agree they look ace.

[jollomi]

this orakg k420?

[SamuelHyndman]

These things look sick as fuck, happily wear them outside!

[gpcoolade]

How long can you wear the headphones before the foam becomes uncomfortable?

[775marco]

@gpcoolade 2h

[Jeezzuss888]

Its funny how the final picture shows the sr60, not the sr60i (see the body)

[KeithVanDusen]

Best looking cans ever.

[aingaran2003]

a review on youtube with 0 dislikes?????!!!

these must be amazing

[Aldrnarii]

Since when have Quirky and Eccentric been a bad thing?? the only reason you wouldnt wear these out of the house (barring the sound leakage) is if you have some form of identity crisis and you are trying to fit in/ be 'hip' and 'cool' But I'm a steampunk, so I may be a tad biased...

[guitarskills2]

@Aldrnarii The other reason is people not wanting to hear your music, and you not wanting to hear them.

[shaboobal1]

I have these headphones and they do sound amazing and look great but the sound leakage us terrible and i dont wear them out of the house for fear of annoying people on the bus etc.

[guitarskills2]

@shaboobal1 They are designed to have sound leakage, they are open ear headphones.

[Duffweiserable]

id be comfortable wearing those out of the house, look awesome

[4evaclapham]

Superlux 668b headphones will blow these grado's clean out of the water... and they only cost around £35 or $55 dollars delivered... google them, they are true giant killers

[pudo3792]

why don't people like the way these look????? these are probably my favorite looking fones! I am becoming quite partial to my 598s tho XD

[kazora1001]

fckin XXX!!!

[kloug2006]

I've just bought these a few days ago. The first thing that striked me was the clarity of the sound : everything is so clean with these Grados, especially vocals. Well recorded vocals sounds like if they were next to me, in a very natural way. I love the way the highs sparkle too. This gives life to classical music. Now for the bass, these Grados deliver just the right amount and quality of bass for me. They are not spectacular on bass, but natural and accurate instead.

[HOWLOW991]

man is chattin shit the retro grado style is sick. nothing on the wooden ear cup rs1i tho. dream of owning those

[TheMassAnnoyance]

The sound from them is Fantastic!, but They are extremely uncomfortable! I found after wearing them for more than 20 minutes that My ears became very sore and took 10 minutes to stop aching! Also, they never stayed in place on my head, they either fell forward or backwards.

Saying that though, everyone is different so don't let Me put You off buying them, just make sure You try them on first.

[bekreative]

@TheMassAnnoyance I found them uncomfortable at first too, couldnt wear them for any longer than 30mins or so - but they do break in nicely and become comfortable after using them for a short period of time.

[derbigpr500]

MY problem with these headphones is their comfort. They just dont feel good on your head. Thats why i always choose sennheiser headphones instead because they offer better sound and much much more comfort.

[ManicMindTrick]

@derbigpr500

You could easily switch the ear cushions and get better sound plus superior comfort.

[subcomandante93]

Bahahah i dont know what this guy is talking about "neutral" sr60's are some of the most colored cans out there...bass is very low unless you vent them and put some work into them but these are amazing so no complaints on the sound! oh best for rock or metal trust me! head over to head-fi.org for real audiophile reviews!

[YoungUnicorn]

If I call someone eccentric, that's not only a compliment, it's probably why I hang out with them.

[pantscrapper12]

I'm not a big fan of those kind of ear-cushions. Not as comfortable as other kinds.

[MRLfromhell]

getting these for xmas. Ujelly?

[TheMassAnnoyance]

@MRLfromhell I got them. I'm going out tomorrow to swap them. Are YOU jelly?

[TheRacistCunt]

@TheMassAnnoyance im not jelly.

[geertex]

how are these compared to the sennheisser hd25's?

[likker5tuFF]

@geertex these wont be any good for djing if thats what you mean, theyre open back design so no isolation for noisy enviroments or on a train/plane. shame as I think they look wicked, maybe they should make a closed back version for people who get out more than whathifi geeks

[likker5tuFF]

[carnagerpm]

I ware this on the A Train in NYC every morning to work....the noise does leak so if i'm sitting next to people I turn it down. If i'm standing I dont care.

[PearrlZz]

this video was made in british

[DMCakaJCARDEMA]

hi friends help me please i listen music on iMac 27 Echo audiofire 2 Firewire Yamaha Mixer Stanton Turntable St 150 Adam A5 Grado Heaphones sr 60 is good for my audio system? Grado is Good only iPod/iPhone? Help me Please!!!!!! Thanks

[hellopellos]

what a douche

[fakeheadphones]

For UK customers, the Alessandro MS-1 headphones offer far better value for money. They come somewhere between the SR80 and SR125, but for $109 and that includes free international shipping. I bought my MS-1i headphones for around £65 (have to keep an eye on the exchange rate) and since then, my 60's have become redundant.

[simon3102000]

@fakeheadphones nah m8 the sr125i are awsome! sod buying from the yanks.

[fakeheadphones]

@simon3102000 "sod buying from the yanks" where do you think Grado comes from?

[roB3rnd]

wait did he say Grado's are uncoloured? Hahaharrrrr.

[Ghbose]

While its great Grados get some praise, still can't trust any of these 'official' reviews - far overhyped *especially* considering he reviewed it with a European price tag of £100 rather than (guessing) what, $80? Bang for buck goes down the drain. Plus, he said 'no colour whatsoever' or something similar, giving the impression of perfection.

End of pointless rant before I waste more time over nothing.

[snoninjah]

@Ghbose just so u know ive own two sr60s (broke the first pair, my fault) and they are the best headphones especially for the money. the sound is crystal clear with no exraneous vibration. i would put these up against any headphones under $90 delivered. and no i dont work for grado.

[pharmd718]

Made in Brooklyn!

[idiiidit]

dam i personally think these headphones look badass

[ysn370]

@idiiidit same here

[craneywatch]

@idiiidit yes, they are not very attractive. But you'd better hear them before making such I would say not careful judgement.

[sdeary1]

@idiiidit they do, but they leak like a bitch

[meatwad4900]

@sdeary1 The leak isn't that bad unless you're blasting these things at max volume.

[aesops52220]

@idiiidit dont really work on the streets tho, since they are open backs

[asdfasdf984]

no where does he give the impression theyre british. is it because hes british?

[MageesterMixit]

Grado is actually American-made, no offense.

[MageesterMixit]

Just gives the impression, that they are British.

[asdfasdf984]

where? thats some nice, headphone patriotism...

[MageesterMixit]

Brooklyn, NY. Some nice history on their site. They also make wooden-body phono cartridges, some expensive stuff. The 60 has been highly rated for awhile now for joggers, etc.

[rockgod2131]

@MageesterMixit You jog with these things? I pity you lol
