Grado SR60i
$69.00
Released March, 2009
The Pros:Best headphone for the price. Can be used with basic sources/amplification such as portable media players. Very fun sound signature - clear highs, powerful bass and lively midrange.
The Cons:Not good for use outside or on the go - thick cable, open design. Can be sibilant - especially if driven poorly, by a bad source, or too loudly. Pads are considered by some to be inferior than the bowls when it comes to audio quality.
Re-introduced in March 2009 with a slightly tweaked and improved driver, the classic looking Grado SR60i is critically acclaimed as one of the best values in headphones today. Hand crafted in Grado's Brooklyn facility, the SR60i is the cheapest of the 5 cans found in the Prestige Series.

Featuring a heavily coloured sound signature these are the furthest from neutral you can get. Punchy bass, forward mids, clear highs and an in-head soundstage make for one of the most fun listening experience $69 can buy. Especially recommended for rock!
