Grado SR60 Headphones - The Starting Point of Great Sound

When shopping for something new, it is all to easy to fall into the need for more; better specs, more features, higher level technology, basically anything that makes what you started looking at cost much more than you originally planned. The good thing about shopping for headphones is that one doesn’t need to fall pry to that dreaded creep. All they need to do is buy the Grado SR60 Headphones. Problem solved.

This is not a sales pitch. It is a simple fact. The Grado SR60 headphones are great. Backed by 50 years plus of sound engineering from Joseph Grado, the founder of Grado Labs, and now his nephew, John Grado, the president, the SR60 may be entry level headphones, but they do not carry entry level sound. All Grado Labs headphones have the same basic properties: dynamic transducers, 40mm drivers, open air design, vented diaphragm, non resonant air chamber, copper voice coil wire and connecting cord. Buying headphones from Grado Labs introduces you to the vaunted Grado sound; warm color, full vocals, smooth top end and amazing dynamics. The SR60s simply do this for less than their more expensive cousins.

That right there is the key to the Grado SR60 headphones – they offer the wonderful Grado sound for less. Some people have golden ears. They can easily tell the difference between things that the average person cannot. Most people don’t have this ability. To them, the Grado SR60 headphones will sound quite similar to the far more expensive RS1 headphones, the main difference being the price. The warmth, the clarity, and the resounding bass – it’s all there. It’s just more affordable.

Grado Labs made their reputation by producing amazing sounding headphones of outstanding quality. That is not in dispute by very many people. The point most people argue is the price of admission. How much is enough? For anyone on a budget but wanting to experience excellent quality audio, The Grado SR60 headphones are a perfect starting point.
