Famous Grado sound in a travel-friendly headphone

If you didn't know anything about Grado, a legendary brand with a serious following among audiophiles, you might mistake the eGrado for just another behind-the-neck, "street-style" headphone. True, these 'phones offer a convenient design that stays put when you're walking, commuting on the subway, or checking out some tunes mid-flight. But with their detail and definition, they'll give you a taste of the kind of performance that's to be found at the higher end of the headphone category, at a price that's decidedly in the affordable range.

Grado eGrado behind-the-neck headphones

Born in Brooklyn and built to perform

Each pair of eGrado headphones is made right in Brooklyn, New York where the Grado family has been building award-winning audio gear for more than 60 years. Like all Grado headphones, the eGrado uses a vented "open-air" earcup design with large, non-resonant air chambers for powerful, extended bass response and more open, spacious sound. Each driver features a high-quality copper voice coil to ensure smooth, dynamic performance with exceptionally low distortion. Drivers are also carefully matched to within 0.1 dB for enhanced stereo imaging and a wide soundstage.

FANTASTIC FOR KIDS or really anyone. They are hifi quality especially for the money. Both my young children love them AND THEY LAST LONGER than ear buds. Great for adults working out/sweating too! Not really designed for high end stereo's...

Yes, you can here background noise. It also depends on how loud you turn up the headphones. But I am very pleased with the sound these provide.

Q
Are these headphones good for listening on crowded places like the subway?
kelvin  May 05, 2015
1 answer
A
Depending on what you are looking for - yes. The behind-the-neck design will help them stay on when getting jostled around (as it bound to happen on the subway). However, the open air design will not block out the outside world. In fact it is designed to let some of it in. If you are looking to block out noise, then around the ear or in-ear designs might be better.
