Ratings & Specs

The Grado SR60s follow the trend of all other Grado headphones: an open-backed design with a large air chamber. This automatically means the SR60s are best suited for a home environment, where they will provide an open, airy listening experience. Elsewhere, the design will allow a fair amount of exchange between what you're listening to and the outside world: you'll hear everything around you, and everyone around you will hear your music. The SR60s have about 6.5 feet of cable, which also allows these headphones to flourish in the home environment, assuming your system isn't more than six feet away. Their foam pads and leather-on-metal band won't provide the most comfortable listening session, but they aren't really uncomfortable either.

The Grado SR60 headphones are currently available for about $69.

Section	The Good	The Bad
Tour & Design	The SR60s have a very unique look, so you'll know at a glance whether or not you'll like them.	The chunky, bulky design of the SR60s won't appeal to fashionistas.
Performance	Audio performance was decent, if unspectacular.	Even the good points are just about average.
In Use	These headphones are good for home theater setups.	They aren't portable or particularly comfortable.
Value & Comparisons	Even though they aren't an outstanding set of cans, the Grado SR60s are a steal for their current price.	There really isn't anything bad about the Grado SR60s at their price point.
