I bought my first pair of Grados thanks to a quick recommendation from Patrick in an older mail video. I did my research, and couldn't believe the hype. I TRIED to find bad reviews, and everyone just shined about them. So I got my 60i's and holy COW, IMMEDIATELY I was blown away from how they sounded... they lived up to every expectation I had!
I followed your advice Patrick and bought a Grado SR60e. I'm very happy with it. This gives a new dimension to my classical mp3 (320 or Flac) collection! Great value for money. I hear details in the music I never heard before. Pitty I don't live in the US (in Belgium I payd 119 € for it). You give great info in a now snobbish way about good audio-experience. I love it. Thanks! Marc
+marc schuyesmans you might also consider replacing the earpads with the G-Cushion or L-Cushion. Both gives a slight difference to the sound. I used the G-Cushion with my SR60e, and it makes the sounstage even wider and also much more comfortable to wear.
The mentioned Wirecutter review says the best are the Sony MDR-7506. So, open or closed headphone preference set aside, which one wins then between the SR60e and the MDR-7506?
I've owned a pair of the SR60 Prestige Series since the 80's only had to replace the rubber ear covers (amazon). Great for quality listening. You men have a great web site but is there any site (on you tube) that informs us about recalls for faulty technical equipment (av receivers, tablets, computers, projectors etc?
i have these and everyone around me can hear it and think i have the sound all the way up when in reality ive got it at half. i dont really have a problem with the fact that i can hear other people with these on, its that they can hear my music... and its really loud.
Love my grados. I the left ear kind of fell apart though which stinks. Also the lettering rubbed off super easy and these headphones barely leave my desk. The sound is impeccable and that's why I got them.
Huhu, finally a proper review that even someone who is not an audiophile person like me can understand. Though admittedly, had to google what is low end.
Posting from the SR80e's :) I have nothing bad to say about them. It's incredible. I've always ran Koss open backs and these Grado's are amazing. I wear IEM's in public so I have no need for closed back cans. I don't care about "extra" bass. These Grado's give the amount of bass that was intended by the sound engineer and that is all that matters to me. I actually heard subtle kick drums that I've never heard before, it was that kind of WOOF WOOF WOOF sound. If you like anything that is rock, alt, singer songwriter type artists you will love them. Honestly I listened to old Micheal Jackson and was amazed by all the shit you couldn't hear before.
He also forgot to mention the plus of being able to hear someone without taking them off and not sounding like it was recorded in a porta potty. Although the huge nonmuffled sound stage kinda pays for itself.
Very accurate review, sound is fantastic for the money. The sr80e are my go to headphones. I also own Sennheiser hd600 which I love but need Amplification. Sennheiser probably more accurate but Grado great sound Third of the price
This may be a very good review, but I couldn't take the exaggerated, hey-how-ya-doin' delivery. It doesn't feel like you're getting unbiased product advice when someone's working this hard to sound like they're doing a commercial.
A friend of mine has a pair of Grado's(don't remember the model #),and yeah I don't like being able to hear everything around me when I tried them out, plus I need a Mic with my cans, and usually use my cans when I'm at my PC at home so it's nice being able to block other people out, and my $13 Plantronics .Audio 355 Multimedia Headset does that that just fine with a boom mic, plus they have good highs, mids, and lows that have a good punch when pair with a good sound card that has a headphone amp like my ASUS Xonar DG, but I could use some recommendations on a good pair of IEM's aka Earbuds in the $50 and under range that have a build in mic for use with my Android phone.

Loved your review! I had the SR 60s..I just upgraded to the SR80e...will be here in 2 days.. can't wait!
40 Hz... Not 40 dB
40 hz not DB
Which pair of headphones, from the Grado range, would have the most enhanced bass? For a budget price preferably (
MrYlad SR225e

So, these or the SR80e's? Which one is better, if so, then is the difference significant enough to choose one over the other?
sr80 is my fav
does it has soundstage ? the feels that as if the song is around you?

Thank you for the review Patrick
These or the Philips SHP9500 for comfort + sound?
Love my grados. I the left ear kind of fell apart though which stinks. Also the lettering rubbed off super easy and these headphones barely leave my desk. The sound is impeccable and that's why I got them.
Hi just wondering if these are suited to record players?
Zoë Lkjsdhf hi I guess both.
sold.
Huhu, finally a proper review that even someone who is not an audiophile person like me can understand. Though admittedly, had to google what is low end.
Hope you're right man have some coming tomorrow.
Are this good for gaming?
I've got theSR225 which sounds amazing! Most of my files are flac

you forgot to mention because of the open back design they don't dampen outside noise at all
I'm going to guess you did not pay attention after there advertisement. 6:04
Daniel Counterman their * and yes my bad, i lost attention xD

***** "being able to hear someone without taking them off" is the turn off for me
Got mine 2 weeks ago, I love it but although it's very leaky..
Nightowl Travels I know this is from two years ago, but for any buyer, open back headphones leak much more usually than closed back
Very accurate review, sound is fantastic for the money. The sr80e are my go to headphones. I also own Sennheiser hd600 which I love but need Amplification. Sennheiser probably more accurate but Grado great sound Third of the price

this or ath m40x,which is flatter
grado all the way, i used Sennheiser HD 239, Beyer DT1350, Beyer DT770, Shure Se846, the SE80 Grado is my fav
Great explanation, love it.
I'm not a fan of their ear foam.
They aren't a fan of your ear wax.
***** lol
Koss and grados offer the best value for money in headphones.
I listen to this video using SR60.

Beyers and senns any day over grado
Why do you talk so extremely fast? I'm getting exhausted
this or ath m40x,which is flatter
+Picadie I've tried both before purchasing, and personally i prefer the SR60e because they sounded more fun than the M40x when listening to music.
+Agung Trianto Widya Nugraha (Don Torro) lookin to buy something for monitoring
For monitoring, go with the M40x. Absolutely.
+Agung Trianto Widya Nugraha (Don Torro) tnx man
