"The outstanding qualities of the SR60s were the warmth and honesty of their sound" Stereophile , May 3, 2010

I bought these headphones about 6 months ago.

I had owned a pair of USB headphones before these and when they reached the end of their use i knew i wanted to upgrade and pay the money for higher quality sound.

I read countless reviews online and everything seemed to point back to Grado who really seem to set the standard in each price-range.

I loved the SR60is and after about 5 months i decided to upgrade again to the SR225is because i was impressed with the 60s. They sound amazing.


Now some things i will point out, they are a bit warm but for the kind of music i like that's perfect. The open ear design does leak some sound so if you like blasting your music at full volume and destroying your ability to hear, other people around you will definitely be able to hear.

I would have liked for a metal encased tip to allow for an easier replacement for the tip, but as i was always very careful with them they never broke and i'm sure they would have lasted a decade.

I recommend these to everyone i see looking to buy headphones. I have had my friends who own $350 pairs of bose headphones drop their jaw in response to the quality of the sound. I've been able to talk several people out of buying skullcandy headphones.


That being said, i like my sr225is much better. ;)

After 6 months of using the Grado SR60i headphones, I am still amazed at the sound quality. Some have reported that they were not very comfortable; I guess this is subjective, and after a few hours most brands will 'heat' your ears anyways.

Looks is a matter of taste, and personally I love them. But if they were of another style I couldn't care less because for me the sound is of primary importance. And they certainly SHINE is this regard.

It's too early to know if they are durable, but with minimal care, I don't see any reason why they would not last.

Strongly recommended!

Great sound quality for the price. Very well built.

So sick! Great reviews for a great product! Looks cheesy and not much to it b but these are very nice!

I nearly S*&% myself when I heard these for the first time. $80? they sound better than my Audio-Technica ATH ANC7b for sure. Sennheiser's got nothing on you Grado. Best sound quality!!!!
