• Grado Labs iGrado Headphones Review $49.00

  The iGrado headphones from Grado Labs have a serious case of the i's. Presumably named in honor of Apple's ubiquitous iPod, these headphones are meant for use with portable media devices. The cord is a bit less than four feet in length, which will reach your pants pocket, but not leave a ton of slack. The iGrados are also smaller than most on-ear sets, thanks mainly to their around the back of the head design. Unfortunately, the plastic band might be a bit uncomfortable. Since it can't be adjusted, it will feel tight against all but the tiniest of heads.

• Grado SR60 Headphones Review $79.00

  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.
