one of the best headphones to buy, the better one was sennhiser hd-580. the only complain about the grado was that build quality the sticks of the ear cups can become lose, no screws were used just glued and it dissolved by time otherwise nothing to say. |

I own one of the best headphones on the market for a mere $299.99. The model is grado 326e upgrade from the 326i. This phone smacks of good tight bass, excells on mids, and super details on treble. Go higher up the chain and the music has more warmth and alittle less bass but to each their own listening of sound. Grados comfort is to be of getting used to but once settled in the music is incredibly widestage a to almost errie which I truely love more than anything. |

Bought my sr 60 for $79 and I just love them. They fit very nicely on the ears and the music is amazing. I would recommend these headphones to home-listeners only. They are not very portable, but dont get me wrong, they are in fact really durable! They are also totally open which means that the music leaks out. There is also an advantage of this leakage, it provides an amazing sound.

I just cannot endorse these things. Uncomfortable, horribly made and harsh sounding, they may be good for those who like slam but there is no refinement here at all. Mine fell apart, the cups rattled on low bass notes and I couldn't get rid of them fast enough. There are lots of better options and for not much more $$$ there are really great headphones like the AKG K240s and the Shure SRH440s. Do yourself a favor, if you only have $60 to spend, buy the Koss PortaPro at $45 and save for one of the other models I'm mentioning. |

I purchased this set of cans, after the numerous rave reviews I have seen online. Well they do sound great, but I was expecting a lot more. I guess if you don't have an audiophile setup home, these probably sound the business for you, but to me they seem to be lacking that wow factor. Anyhow for the price they are a TRUE steal.

Strength:
Low cost. Good for rock music.
Weakness:
Not the best as far as comfort is concerned. The new AKG Varimotion technology has obsoleted its competitors. The much cheaper SR60 replaced my SR200. The SR200 was even less comfortable. I bought the soft earpads from John Fort and that helped the SR200 and SR60 comfort quite a bit. The SR200 was tighter in the bass, but less extended than the SR60. The SR200 had smoother treble, but that counted little on rock music. The greater comfort of the SR60 made me wear them more often. I admit the SR200 is better in an audiophile sense, but not by much, and the cost difference does not justify buying the SR200 in my opinion. Either model is an excellent Rock-N-Roll set of cans if you can get used to the ergonomics. I wanted a better all around set of cans, so I replaced them with the AKG K601. It 's a better set of cans all the way around, but it set me back $210.

Strength:
Build quality. Clean and crisp. Efficiency. Retro-looking.
Weakness:
The cord can twist easily but the pros easily outweigh the only con I can think of for the Grado's. These headphones are incredible! At $69.00 they are a steal for someone looking for a well built quality set of cans. I read all the reviews online for a good month before purchasing these cans. I would agree with all of them except comfort. I find them fitting perfect against my ears with no discomfort whatsoever. I took the chance of buying these based on the reviews and I must say I have not been let down one bit.

what I just wrote Here is a follw up on my SR60. I've had this set for nearly 2 years now. I was really satisfied with this product at first, maybe because I thought it was a steal for the price.
