Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

These sound great. I was concerned about the comfort level, but they are just right. I had some other headphones(sennheiser, Ultrasone...etc.) that were circumaural, and made my ears hot and uncomfortable, but these I can wear for hours and sound really good. Have a nice open sound, with their open back design. These are keepers! Great Headphones all around!!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I was looking to replace a pair of headphones I use at work. "Open-Air" design was a requirement - I need to be able to hear if someone is calling me. These fit the bill, and also met my primary criteria - they are made in the USA! It's always refreshing to find a high-quality manufacturer that hasn't completely sold out. The sound is excellent - noticably better than my Shure E2c earbuds, which were previously the best headphones/earbuds I had (and I still consider those excellent - great for portable uses). If you want high-quality headphones, but don't want to pay very high prices, look no further. Absolutely some of the best [$] I've ever spent.

A wonderful match for my yamaha p-85. not suitable to portable devices and relaxing, but a good choice for home audio beginner.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I use this headphone for my ipod at home. For the money, this is a great headphone. The sound is great. The only negative is it could be a little more comfortable but I would still highly recommend this headphone.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Great headphones. Brought out stuff if music I owned that i had never heard before. I would have paid a lot more for these headphones. My only complaint is that they are not a closed system.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Really amazing sound, but this baby does leak sound whether the volume is on low or high so it's best for home use. Also the size of the cups makes it not so convenient for travel either. Overall, I love the 60i and listening to music now is quite an experience.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Very comfortable! Great Sound!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Very good headphones!!!!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I use the headphones almost exclusively with my computer. Have not yet tried them with my amplifier; I'm a little afraid of how good they'll sound. Will probably never use ear buds again.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I love music. . .

One day I looked around and noticed that my killer system I had built for years was gone, wife took care of that that, "too LOUD". That my kickin' car system went with the car that did not fit with the baby, "we need more room". The concerts I hit several times a year had dried up, "Let's go antiquing".

WHAT HAPPENED! I used to savor music, the detail and how it made me feel. Maybe that's it I had become numb. Things change and I had become numb to life. As such the sources of feeling alive had all left through lack of use. The tools to enjoy music had all atrophied, wilted, departed, broken and not been replaced.

I WANT MY MUSIC BACK! I wanted to get a top notch set of phones to start enjoying music the way I used too. I wanted to get into that aural bliss that lets me forget the housing situation and who the ex is dating and probably doing while listening to my setup! I just wanted to rock out some. . .

OK or put on some Dave Brubeck and sip at my drink in a dim room until the world fades into a nice warm fuzz.

These SR60s aren't going to get anyone glancing my way. Yeah they are pure 70's or 80's reference/home studio styling. They are not comfortable lying on your side crying into a pillow, listening to old love songs either. But that's OK, they are an open design so if you enclose one side it sounds like the inside of a can.

BUT you will hear the in take of breath in Alexi Murdoch's "Breathe" that's part of the back beat and can't be heard on ear-buds. Dark Side of the Moon is trance enducing while having these SR60's strapped on. The build quality if solid, from good quality foam and plastics to real steel loop headband and a pickup cable I could garrote a pit bull with.

In life most things good are a good deal more expensive and less reliable than Grado SR60's. Pick up a pair; I'm not sure you can make such a simple, quick and effective jump in audio quality anywhere else for this price.

If these SR60's can make my world fall away with their aural capacity you'll love them. If it takes more than this; get a shrink.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

The Grado SR-60s are a great sounding headphone. I have owned several models of Grado headphones, SR-125s, SR-225s, as well as the SR-60s. The Grado's have an upfront center sound stage. Their sonic characteristics are best described as live or natural sounding. Not too bright, ample bass. Spot on.

The only down side in is the mini-jack. Every pair I've every owned always develop a short after several years. This is the only design flaw I am aware of. This is not a huge issue since you can always buy a new pair (not too expensive). Also, you may notice some mild discomfort after wearing these headphones for several hours, but this is after HOURS of continuous use. Highly recommended cans!

My wife & I are in our 70's. We need clear narration/audio.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Great sound when used in quiet areas. It is an open design and will allow in outside noise.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Have great sound and are comfortable. But do not buy if you want to travel a lot with the headphones because they are not that durable. But for home use they are great.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

these things sound DELICIOUS... but remember they need to be broken in first. they're pretty comfy even though some people say they aren't but thats just my opinion. the cords long enough for me and the 1/4 inch plug is great since i use them with my home stereo. your ipod or mp3 will sound beautiful with these things but try to stay away from earbuds you'll hate their inferior sound after hearing these.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I want headphones that produce a sound that the recording artist would say "That's what I meant!" Many headphones can do that but for under $100 the Grado SR60i is the best. (the SR80's pushes the bass). I owned Koss when they were the best in the 1970s, Koss PRO4A Liquid filled ear pads, weighed 2 lds. Had Bose, Sony, Sure buds, even Turtle Beach 4 driver per ear cans. For SOUND go Grado.

Comfort is an individual thing. I use the yellow Sennheiser ear pads on my Grado's and cut a slot for my glasses temple.

Durability - When was the last time you broke a headphone? Was it the headphones fault? Grado is a US made product. They can and will fix their products.

Sound "leaking" and too much outside noise? - look up open air headphones. Equal sounding closed ear cans will cost and weigh 3 times more.

We each have personal tastes when it comes to food, sound and visual appeal. But there are some brands I trust like Ford, Honda, Craftsman, Pepsi, Sony TV, you make your own list. For headphones I like these SR60i's..

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Seems very sturdy and sounds great!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

hard to use mobile. sound is not as good as other reviews claim, still not bad. and i expect more for the price.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

You can't beat the value on these cans. [$]they utterly destroy headphones three times more expensive. Don't buy Bose or other overpriced phones when these are available.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

these make my ears feel very happy.

i use them primarily for music at home / work, but also for composing.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Thought the Koss Porta-Pros were the best under $100 earphones, but these are better yet.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

These are, as many have said, the best headphones you can buy under $100. I really enjoy them so far. Keep in mind that since they are sizable, they are definately not portable, so don't expect to use them much with your ipod. I have considered getting a portable amplifier for them for those purposes, though.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

That's Good Stuff.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

The best sound my ears have heard in a pair of headphones. The on-ear style is uncomfortable on my ears. But I have had some of my friends tell me they feel fantastic. Just a personal con of mine

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Blew away my old Bose earbuds.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Grado SR-60 best for rock and other fast genre music. Great response in middle frequency and tight in bass / low frequency. Otherwise, the soundstage is narrow, but its impoved in The New SR60i. The SR60 will produce a sound that is pure Grado, warm harmonic color, rich full bodied vocals, excellent dynamics and an ultra smooth top end.
I recommended this headphone for rock-lover people with low budget but still want best experience on music listening.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

great for the price

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

These are a good choice for someone who doesn't like the low-end phones that generally pass for tolerable to MP3 listeners, and who doesn't mind phones that are not super-light or fashionable.

I did find it annoying that there was no included adaptor for MP3 players.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

They are amazingly comfortable. It was almost like wearing warm fuzzy earmuffs (which I wouldn't be caught dead in--but must be very comfortable). The sound is great and the comfort level is perfect for enjoying long hours of listening.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I use these for both music and gaming. They stay put well enough for these uses... I haven't tried them while moving around. They sound fantastic, and the price is reasonable. I like that I can hear what is going on in the room, but I don't disturb others. If you are looking to block out all sound from the room, though, keep looking! ;) They also come in a nice looking box, if you plan on gifting these.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Great Product

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I use these headphones pretty much for gaming and watching YouTube. It rocks hardcore for both! The clarity in the sound allows me to hear where my enemies are coming from much sooner than other brands I've tried. A beautiful combination of quality and price.

I rarely find products that have no real drawbacks. This is one of the few. Every single feature of this product screams thoughtfulness, and after nearly a month with them I can honestly say these are by far the best headphones I've ever used.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

It works as good or better than the claims and the ratings. It has been perfect for setting up a new home recording studio.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

First off, I think these are great headphones. The sound quality is awesome. I use them primarily on my computer for listening to music or movies when I don't want to disturb my girlfriend. I wouldn't recommend them for portable devices though, they are kind of bulky.

NOTE: The only reason I gave this produce four stars is because the sound leaks a little into the surrounding environment. In a quiet room people will probably be able to hear the music you are playing. This is because this headphone is an "open" style headphone (look it up if you don't know what that means).

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

These let in ambient sounds but that's good for me. I'm in a quiet environment (usually!) and I need to listen for the phone ringing, doorbell, etc.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I bought a pair of these for my boyfriend for valentine's day and he is pretty much obsessed with them. He says they are better than the speakers he had been using with his computer. I would definitely recommend these for anyone who really enjoys good quality music.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Great sound, great value.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

use them to listen to high-bitrate mp3s from my E-MU 0202 audio interface.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

The audio experts at Motorola use these in their lab. These headphones phones are all about audio quality over style, but some may like the retro look too.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

+ Very good sound
- foam earpiece covers irritate your ears a bit

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I really like them. At first I was a little worried reading about comfort issues but my head is small and they fit perfect out of the box. Though I will admit that they aren't comfortable to wear glasses with which most of this type aren't. Other than that I like how not everyone has them compared to the bose things that everyone seems to have and they sound good to me.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I listen to lots of music, radio and home recordings.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I bought the Grado SR-60 headphones for my husband to use with the iPod he had received for Christmas, since he found the iPod earbuds extremely uncomfortable and they kept falling out of his ears. He was frustrated and in pain from the earbuds, so I needed an alternative that would provide wonderful sound with great comfort. The SR-60 exceeds all his expectations, and he is thrilled with their performance. The only drawback is that they can't be stored quite so easily as earbuds, but that is a very minor consideration when comfort is paramount. I recommend the SR-60 highly and without reservation.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Great sounds, compact design.

Cord a little on the rigid side, which limits the portability of it.

Otherwise, basically the best headphones for the price ever.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I use these headphones every day during work for about 5-7 hours of that time (running equipment, etc.). They have rich sound with surprising bass for the price. For the price, I've found no other that could distinguish with such clarity each instrument of a large band during the moments when they really begin to "rock" in a song - all the while not fudging on the bass and highs (especially voice). Of course, if you are looking for a set of headphones that sound like your expensive home theater system, good luck (you'd have to have headphones the size of small paint cans). Only draw back: the speakers can detach from the headband quite easily. Though they are easily reattached, you may loose the small end cap in the process of detachment. Also, as with any over the ear headphones, they can become uncomfortable after multiple hours of use. However, many days I will wear them for hours on end and never feel discomfort! Enjoy!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I mostly bought these headphones to use with my computer- my wife got tired of listening to the gunfire coming from the office as I shoot zombies...Anyway I wanted a good set of headphones to use with 3d games to give clear, accurate sound. The bulk of my shopping was for full cans but after reading the reviews for the Grado's I decided to give them a shot, especially since they were less money than all the others I was considering. I don't use them with my ipod- they are a bit large for that and my Sure E2c's are better for listening with a lot of ambient noise around (trains, plains, mowing the lawn...) and the Grados don't really block out ambient noise all that well, but when they are playing sound, you don't really hear ambient noise, just the crystal clear music...or gunfire. Anyway, I have listened to a great many headphones and unless you are going to get into the $300 and up range for headphones I don't think you could do better than the Grado SR60's and honestly these own a lot of way more expensive 'phones. Also, an ipod powers them comfortably giving them plenty of bass.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Exceptional value. Purchased the yellow earpads as others suggested, although they were not really needed. The original earpads are just as comfortable for me.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Full rich sound at any volume!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Clear, crisp sound with awesome bass - a lot warmer and fuller than my dad's Bose headphones that cost twice as much! I also like the simple, durable design.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

These headphones sound Great, so good that I just ordered the SR80's and will give these to my 27 year old daughter. I didn't believe all the great reviews I read but figured that for under $70 they were worth a listen. The cans set up a sound stage and details come alive... They are amazing and produce a sound quality that is near perfect. They bass is a little light, but i had to search for a fault.Buy and enjoy!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Use the phones to listen to stereo system and other portable devices such as MP3 player. Lightweight very dynamic. Great product at this price point.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Nice pair of headphones, ear pads look a little flimsy

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Fantastic quality, fantastic sound, fantastic value! Way better than Bose, and way better price! Get these and you will not be disappointed!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

These headphones may let in some ambient noise, but the sound quality is amazing in all volumes. Not great for public use, but they are perfect for home use.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I had purchased a pair of senheiser px100s before purchasing the grado 60s. I must admit the senheisers are great sounding overall however the grados are outstanding in terms of flatness and accuracy across the entire sound spectrum. Music sounds exactly as it was intended to sound without peaks or dips from lows to highs. You will hear many things you missed in songs with a richness that will keep you listening for hours. They are worth at least 4 times their price BUY THEM!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

awesome product...love them cause they don't hurt your ears like some of those tiny little ear pods. Great sound!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

For use with my creative mp3 player sounds great . Like the fact that can hear the kids if they scream too loud .But only if volume is not all the way up.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

What can I say that hasn't already been said? The Grado SR60's are amazing headphones, especially for the price. If you've stuck with budget headphones in the past, these are pretty much the best way to "ease yourself" into the world of high-end cans.

The ONLY REASON that I deducted one star from my score is because the original pair shipped with a faulty audio jack; but replacements are on their way!

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Bass is excellent

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

great product made in the USA

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

if you like alot of high frequency that make your ear ring then these are for you. They were not for me. My koss portapros kick these cans butt. The portapros don't fatigue your brain and ears like these do, it's a shame these are so bad. Recommended for those who have already burnt out their high frequency hearing, I like the tight bass, just if the upper range was a bit flatter these would be perfect- these are going on EBay. Would be acceptable if used with an equalizer.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

The sound is awesome!! good bass and sweet treble but its just for home entertainment, when there is nobody around.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

I have owned 4 other head phones.............none of these can compare. Super quality,comfort, and works well with my mp3.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

its a great set for the price, only negative thing is it takes some time getting used to the head band because of the break in takes a while.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

GOOD

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

For the money these really can't be beat. The bass response is very tight, and they don't produce over-boosted treble like some lesser headphones.

I sure wouldn't refer to them as "folding" however. They sort of lie flat, in fact that's the one thing I don't like about them. The earpieces tend to get twisted around.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

very good value, the best

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

My first pair of higher end phones. Awesome sound quality, very comfortable, great value. Not built for rugged or low profile use but great for how I use them.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

good head phone ,the price is right

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

Use these mostly for rock. Based on a recommendation from [@]. These are awesome for listening to complex music. So rich, yet not too warm/bassy. The only quarrel I have is that these leak about 1/3 of the sound to the outside, which is what makes them so great to listen to, but not so great where quieter headphones are more appropriate.

Comments about Grado SR-60i Padded Folding Headphones:

The only negative is that they are open-ear headphones, which means it is easy for other people to hear what you are listening to.
