Similar sound as SR80e
Grado SR60e Headphones
Reviewed by Bobby on B&H Photo Video
This is my 3rd Grado Prestige series purchase. I earlier got the SR80e, SR325e. I cannot hear a noticible difference in bass output comparing the 60e & 80e. I cut out a quarter sized hole in the foam pads of both the 60 & 80. This definitely changed the sound for the better on both models, as the full comfie pads slightly muffled the sound. In fact, after putting the uncut comfie pads onto my 325e, it sounded almost exactly like the 60 & 80!! Putting the L cush pads on the 60 & 80 also changed the sound of both for the better. If anyone looks at the frequency graphs for all the Prestige series headphones, the 60e is the closest to neutral of them all!! Don't get me wrong, the 325e sounds the best of the 3, but for anyone who wants the Grado sound without spending a lot, buy the 60e model. Don't forget to cut out a hole in the foam pads to open up the drivers. This makes a big difference in clarity, loudness of the mids, highs. Bass is the same however, with or without the mod. I tested a smaller foam pad from my Yamaha RH1C headphones with a hole cut in the center on all 3 models. It just barely fits but sounds good on the 60e model compared to the 80e & 325e. I also placed a small, thin, circular piece of acoustic foam inside the pads for added clarity. Not sure exactly how it works, but it does. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to all 3 headphones of the Prestige series. Buy a 60e & you will not be disappointed or feel like you're missing out on much better sound. ... More
Light, comfy, and sound great.

I only have one set of decent headphones to compare these to (Audio Technica ATH-M50), so I will. I bought these for work, because the AT's were a little big, closed, and would warm up my ears after a while. These SR60e's are just the ticket. They're lighter and smaller, allow some sound in (and out, but that's not a problem), and stay pretty comfortable for hours on end. The sound is fantastic. I don't know all the jargon yet, but I know good sound when I hear it whether it be at a concert, in a car, or on my head. It's a good clean, well balanced sound. It's not as bassy as the AT's (which is one thing I love about them. They send bass do). They don't thump your head quite the same way, but there's still plenty of bass to do justice to some metal or a Pretty Lights playlist. Super happy with these, don't think I could have done better for the price. Plus I have the added satisfaction of actually buying a piece of electronics that was built in the USA. Thanks Grado! ...

Interesting Voicing for Classical Music
Grado SR60e Headphones
Reviewed by Mark on B&H Photo Video
I bought these headphones to use exclusively at my desk-top computer along with my Dragonfly 1.2 DAC / Headphone amp... I do not normally do any serious listening through headphones; however, these cans offer a unique voicing for streaming classical music... Any well recorded classical music sometimes sounds thin... The voicing on these headphones fleshes out the sound just enough to make it aesthetically pleasing for headphone listening... I've listened to higher level Grados, and while they are good, I don't know how well they perform this particular thing... But if you listen to poorly recorded classical music, these phones will make the sound way too fat sounding...I am classically trained pianist and recording engineer, and for some reason, these phones hit some kind of sweet spot for me... Go figure... (m.) ... More
Outstanding Quality - Highly Recommended

In the few days that I've owned these headphones, I have close-listened to more albums than I have in the past year. It is a pleasure to listen again. Thank you Grado for manufacturing such a high-quality product at this affordable price point. WELL done! These are an outstanding value. Perfect fit/feel and amazing sound for the price. Sound better than headphones that cost twice as much. The sound quality is very natural, not overly hyped in the lows like that one very popular brand. I absolutely recommend these if you are searching for a pair of open-back headphones for general listening. Do your ears a favor. Order from B&H for the best customer service in the world. ... More

Outstanding sound quality
Grado SR60e Headphones
Reviewed by Redeemed Dad on B&H Photo Video
My daughter had to have expensive celebrity-endorsed headphones because the sound was awesome. After reading reviews, I got her these instead. One listen was all it took to make her an enthusiastic Grado fan. She was really surprised when listening to her favorite songs: She could hear details in the music that she had never heard before with lesser headphones.
Clear high end. Not much bass though.

I gave em 4 stars because the other reviews are true, the bass is weak so I knew that before purchasing. For my purposes they are effective because they are good at detecting high end clipping and digital harshness while I record with guitar simulations and other plugins, like synths. Contrary to most reviews, on this site and others, I find these cans to be comfortable and the heavy cord actually feels more substantial, rather than obtrusive. I need other cans to record with these also used but I am overall happy with these cheap Grados.

Reviewed by Jeremy on B&H Photo Video
I bought these as a gift for someone, but I have owned a pair for about 3 years. I'm a documentary camera op and mostly do run and gun on the streets, so it's important to have headphones that sound great but also don't block out the world around me. These headphones are perfect for that. They sound great but I can still hear the world around me, like traffic sounds so I don't get hit by a car. They are great for editing but only if you have your own room. Since they are open, others will hear what your listening to. I do wish the cord ran to one ear, which would keep the cord out of the way better. ... More
Grado headphones, I dig 'em the most, Baby!
Grado Labs SR60e Open-Back Headphones
Reviewed by Mark S. on Reverb
This is my 2nd pair of Grade SR60's. If audio detail is your thing and isolation isn't an issue ... these are good open air phones for the money. I think this is Grado's entry level model. Be advised they're on the bright side and the low end is NOT hyped but that's ok for me, I use them for tracking. Fairly comfortable once you break them in. The retro style isn't pretty but I've learned to love them.

I compare these headphones to the ones I normally use for mastering...the Sennheiser HD-580s. The Sennheisers are more comfortable, but both have similar response characteristics. Not exactly the same, but similar and very pleasing.For the price, you can't beat the Grado SR60e. I am very happy I purchased them.
Enjoyable listening

Reviewed by Evan on B&H Photo Video
Coming from Beyerdynamic DT770 headphones, these Grados are fantastic. While they are not as neutral (clinical, sterile, etc.) as the DT770s, they offer a warm soundstage with crisp sound. I feel as if I am in sitting on the stage. They are also incredibly lightweight. The foam pads don't bother me at all. These headphones are more enjoyable to listen to than the DT770s. But, I would not use them for audio work.

Grado headphones deliver great sound quality at this price point. I use them on my iPod classic with a library of good to great recording using the (ALAC) lossless format. Bottom line, whatever you use, I doubt their are many if any headphones out there with this level of sound quality at this price point.

Needed headphones with flat on the ear cups so I could use them with my hearing aids. These headphones are great. The sound is clear and well defined. They are comfortable but the headband is a little large and not adjustable in its circumference. I needed to bend the frame to adjust the tightness against my ears. Doable solution but not as ideal as an adjustable band would be.
The Best

Reviewed by Fred on B&H Photo Video
I am really happy with the Grado SR60e Headphones. I have hearing problems and I didn't know if the headphones would work for me. It turns out that I can get more enjoyment out of this head set (better sounds) than the other three sets that I have. Also, the note that came with the headset really had meaning for someone who used to play his tunes way too loud when he was younger.

Great headphones, comfortable, reliable, simple. I really love them. They're even made in Brooklyn, which is awesome. If I lost them today I would buy new ones immediately. They are open back so they do NOT block out sound, but it's good for your ears.

My new SR60e headphones replace the 1990 version (SR60) which finally gave up the ghost. The SR60e phone are very sensitive and are a suitable upgrade from earbuds for PC and portable audio devices. They are comfortable and sound great!

I've been using Grado SR60e headphones mostly for editing video. I was looking for an economical, yet good quality sound headphones. Grado offer very clear, detailed sound and spacious stereo imaging, robably because of its open-back design.

The Grado 60E's are a fantastic headphone and a great value. They are open, detailed, and sweet sounding. The foam rings are not the most durable part of the product, but the good news is that B&H stocks replacements. Highly recommended.

I love these. I mostly use them at home for practicing my electric nylon string guitar without disturbing anyone. The sound is warm and natural. I can't comment on the bass and highs because I haven't used them too much to actually listen to recordings. Very happy with my purchase!

I had received this as a gift two years ago from my father who was an audiophile. I have used these for home-use most of the time as they do not cancel sound or isolate the sound within the headphones. I loved them so much that I bought my friend the same one for his birthday.
