Grado SR60i

'SR60I. EXCELLENT, HEADPHONE HEVEAN.'
Strengths:	Openness, clarity, warm deep bass. The headphones that don't remind you that you're wearing headphones. Fantastic value for money and will leave you re-visiting you entire music collection and hearing it all a-new.
Weaknesses:	They are comfortable but it may take some adjustment to get there. They are an open back design so everyone around you will hear what you're listening to.
Overall:	This is a review for the Grado SR-60i. An improved version of their excellent SR-60. These are the best headphones I have ever owned. From the first time you listen to them, they drag out detail from your music that you never know was there. The first track I listened to was Tracy Chapman's 'Behind the Wall'. Although her beautiful soulful voice was there, centre stage, now I get an impression of the room it was recorded in. I know this sounds subtle but the effect is breathtaking. Then, moving on to 'Baby Can I Hold You' and it feels that you have been invited in to a private gig just for you. You can reach out and touch every instrument and hear every breath. I cant imaging how much better the more expensive Grado's must be but the SR-60i's are simply excellent and open up a level of detail and entertainment that you could not find by spending this amount of money in any other way.

'EXCELLENT'

'EXCELLENT'
Strengths:	Highly detailed sound, with no coloration. Well extended and effortless bass extension without any audible distortion. Mechanically good design as well - the cord is just about long enough and is rugged. Very comfortable even after hours of use.
Weaknesses:	The styling could be brought into the 21st century a bit without too much redesign. But for what really matters (the sound) - no real weaknesses.
Overall:	Take no notice of the reviews criticising sound leakage - these headphones are quite clearly specified as an open-backed design - if you don't like that then don't buy them. I do! Am exciting sound but without fatigue. So an excellent purchase.

'SIMPLY THE BEST...'
Strengths:	You name it...
Weaknesses:	Open backed - good for listener not companions in room! Limits who listen to with the children around if you get my drift
Overall:	Fantastic bass, depth, separation and soundstage even at very low volume levels. You don't have to crank these delights up to hear the music BUT you can... I've had them over a year and would recommend and buy again should they ever fail.
