I really enjoyed these headphones while they lasted. The sound quality is excellent, they have a simple design, and feel sturdy. I used them with my laptop and kept them on my desk. I used them exclusively for almost two years until they got a short in the "Y" splitter on the cable. I was disappointed but I think I'm harder on my headphones than most people so this may not be a design issue. They are comfortable for the most part but if used for long hours you may feel some discomfort. I would still recommend these headphones.

I first bought the Sennheiser h280 Pro headset at a local music store but returned them because the closed style muffled the highs to me. Bass was adequate, overall sound was ok. The closed pads were soft and comfortable but really kept heat in around the ears and created sweat with extended use. The store clerk looked at me like I was crazy as he owned a pair and thought they were great.
I opted for the Grado SR-60i from Amazon. I probably should have spent the extra money and bought the 80i but these headphones suit my purpose. I like the sound clarity and the light weight on my head and ears. I find the foam pads to be comfortable. I probably sacrificed a little on the bass (compared to the 280) but as I like the highs to almost "crackle", the SR-60 was the right choice for me.

I have read many good things about Grado Quality and most importantly the S.Q. that Grado is well known for. A person can just see that these headphones were not just an after thought just to make money on the side, as many companies do. The first audition was a surprising experience. I love music and love to hear all the little details that the instruments make. Grado is a brand that will do just that with ease. When played on cheep mp3 players the Grado headphones seems to compensate for the mp3's low quality and presents the music with detail and robustness. When my daughter first used these Grado prestige series SR-60i, the first thing she said,-with a smile- was these have bass. I would recommend these to anyone that loves music. Grado has many upgrade models as well that should please you. Remember this is an American company so lets do our part to help our own economy.

Excellent sound quality. My grandson loved the first Grado 60 so much I gave it to him and bought a second.
I was first introduced to Grado in the early 80's shopping for a "cartridge" for my turntable. (Translation for young folks: a needle that travels in the grooves of a vinyl record - they wore out every year or so). I was looking at an $80 Audio Technica - a lot of money then - and the salesrep said "try this Grado for $36. It's the best thing you can get for under $100". Wow. I heard stuff on my records I never knew was there. You get detail AND warmth. Unheard of. Flash forward and the same is true of these cans. You cannot do better for less than $200. The sound is rich and engaging. If you've never heard of Krell, Marrantz, Martin Logan, anything audiophile - buy these. You are about to get hooked on heroin. Nothing out of Japan or China can make you feel like this. Oh yeah, and you'll be saving up to up-grado. They are using the same business model now that they did with those cartridges in the 80's. These cans are an incredible deal, but they WILL get you hooked on great sound.

If you listen to music a lot and care enough about sound quality that you rip your CDs at a higher bitrate than most MP3s (or you rip to FLAC or similar lossless), you'll get a lot out of these affordable, well-made, low profile headphones. They fit well, are easily adjustable (they have a nice touch where the posts that connect the cans to the head band are free to rotate and slide up and down, making getting the fit right a no-fuss affair), and most importantly, they sound great. The best way I can describe it is you will notice better "spatial" separation with the instruments and voices in the music -- it's much easier to hear the sometimes too-subtle-for-earbuds sounds, like a high hat or a little down-in-the-mix flourish from a keyboard -- something that previously was lost in the noise but now cuts through clearly. It makes a big difference. I also like that they are hand-made in the U.S., and feel pretty solidly built. You won't be disappointed with these, unless perhaps you are one of those guys who claims he can tell the difference in sound quality between different grades of speaker wire (puh-leeze, spare me).
