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 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.

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

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

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.

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!

Audio is great and compared to a friend's expensive bluetooth headphones, I still prefer these. I have had them for over a year now and they are still great! I also love how I have the converter for keyboards. Note, I listen to jazz, rock, metal, and classical music with these. Sometimes hiphop. It sounds the best for jazz and live performances. Only drawback (not actually about the brand itself, more like the type of headphones these are): I can't wear these headphones in public since they are open-back --> too loud for other people.

Pour connaisseur , achat vivement recommandé

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!!!

色々買い倒して来ましたが、これは久々に良かった。 オーバーヘッド型ばかり聴いて来た事もあり、新鮮です。 音については･･･PHILE WEBの こんな音を聴きたかったんだ！ GRADOファンの評論家も叫んだ、新世代「Prestigeシリーズ」レビューでも読んで欲しい。 音漏れは激しくハウジングで音楽を聴く遊びが出来る。

Guter Sound und auch über viele Stunden problemlos zu tragen.
