GRADO SR60x Prestige Series Wired Open-Back Stereo Headphones

I have been looking for a pair of truly amazing open backs for a while. And the Grado S60X's won't let you down. Pros: Amazing sound quality Fantastic soundstage Great build quality Perfect price Cons: The cable is a bit too thick and stiff for my liking A quick word on the sound signature: These headphones defiantly lean towards the highs however they aren't overpowering. I still find they have enough bass to provide a great sound.

DO NOT BUY THESE WITHOUT DOING PRIOR RESEARCH. These are not studio headphones, they ain't reference headphones with a balanced response and they most certainly ain't bassy. If your looking for deep rich low ends then your looking at the wrong headphones. That being said they have incredible mids and highs with punchy (If not on the lighter-side) bass. Most certainly tuned for live recordings with real instruments. Jazz, soul, blues, down-tempo, classical, pop and rock.

I already have couple pairs of different brands and grado was my first pair and boy what a big surprise. Amazing sound!

I was hoping these SR60x Prestige Series (wired) headphones would be suitable to use with classical music, and also for some remote online studio work where intense listening for subtle details was involved. I am quite disappointed with them and there are far better headphones out there costing two-thirds of the price. Whilst they do provide a basic overview of the vertical soundscape that I can't fault, there’s little by way of external noise reduction, so they are not an effective choice in a busy or even slightly noisy environment. You would need to be in a completely silent room to get the best out of these headphones. Sonically, they lack body and depth, but it's not a case of the bass being absent, it's just that it's hard to cram 8 contrabasses into a speaker diameter of around 6 cm (the total earcup diameter including the outer foam is about 8.5 centimetres). The range for the violoncellos, however, is rendered well. These headphones are not suitable for detailed editing work, such as the kind of extremely close listening required for detecting digital clicks and flutters that need to be weeded out during the editing and splicing of takes. The foam covers sit almost flat against your ear and can become hot and itchy in no time, and the foam can detach. The main connector is a 3.5 mm jack with an adapter to the 1/4-inch larger size jack. I think their strongest point if the very stylish look.

If you like the retro styling and listen to music that isn't super bass heavy then these are a fantastic pair of headphones.

Bought as a Christmas gift for someone very into audio. They decided they wanted these based on a YouTube review. The couldn't have been happier with the sound quality! They sounded very good to me too!

I had bought this headphones cause a friend told me well about it, even though he doesn't have it. I have compared it with a few other headphones in the same price range: I was looking for something professional to help with mixing and mastering. The box came slightly open on the side. Packaging is really spartan, but I like these things. Cable is quite thick and heavy and is the only downside of a pair of headphones otherwise very comfortable. Build is decent and they look solid and durable, but sound was a little disappointing. I like it being flat, especially in the mid low range, but high and mid high range frequencies are overwhelming and the listening pleasure really drops because of this.

Great sound, very comfortable can’t go wrong with these

Stunning sound quality, while definitely not for everyone as they are quite sparkly sounding as opposed to bassy people looking for headphones that let you hear every little sound and experience music,video games and movies in a different way are in for a treat Well built and extremely comfortable I absolutely adore these headphones Bonus points for the retro style

Pour connaisseur , achat vivement recommandé

I had many requirements for headphones, and these were the only quality option. I needed headphones that were on-ear with an open back, not to get tinnitus or warm ears. Most are over-ear and give me pressure, warm ears, and tinnitus. I saw the price and thought they would be garbage, but I am pleasantly surprised. The headphones are very light, and the cushioning is simple. I can wear these all day instead of the Bose on-ears I had without an open back. The sound of these is just way better than I experienced before, probably because of the open back. It definitely does not give me tinnitus or ear pressure/warm ears. All in all, great headphones. Too cheap in my opinion. I have a feeling these will be long-lasting. I never write reviews, but these headphones deserve some attention and the creators some praise. Godspeed

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!

I hav multiple headphones and earphones ranging from 18,- euro to 599,- euro. These headphones sound extremely well. I enjoy them as much, or even more than my Denon-ahd5200(599,- euro), my PSB M4U(399,- euro) or my HiFiMan HE400SE(139,- euro). They are mabybe not the most neutral or technical but boy oh boy are these cans fun to listen to! When lying in bed I can just listen to them hour after hour. I also tested his big brother (SR325X 399,- euro) but the SR60X almost sound the same and are just as fun to listen to. My first Grado and I am hooked to the “Grado sound”. This is a no brainer. In for a headphone and you have the budget? Buy the SR60X!!!
