About the Grado SR60x
Grado's signature sound at an affordable price
Grado's signature sound at an affordable price
Grado's SR60x headphones are the entry model in the company's Prestige line. As with every pair of headphones they make, these have the same signature sound that made the Grado name famous. It's fast, detailed, and warm. The new X Series drivers found in each earcup puts these headphones a step ahead of their predecessor, the SR60e. X Series drivers use a lighter voice coil, redesigned diaphragms, and a more powerful magnetic circuit, meaning they're more agile, more impactful, and more articulate than previous Grado drivers.
Couple those drivers with the SR60x's new redesigned headband and light weight, and you'll find that these headphones practically disappear while you're wearing them, leaving nothing between you and your music.
These headphones offer a great value for audiophiles on a budget. You can drive them directly with your smartphone, tablet, or computer easily. For even more clarity and detail, you can pair them with a good headphone amplifier.

Features
Overview: The Grado SR60x on-ear headphones are part of the Prestige Series of headphones that are hand-built at the Grado Labs facility in Brooklyn, NY. The headphones are equipped with a 44mm X Series driver, the 4th Generation of Grado drivers, specifically tuned for the SR60x. Along with new drivers, the SR60x sports a newly redesigned cable and headband for better sound and comfort. Grado Prestige Series headphones have a retro look, and a Signature Sound that is the result of over 65 years of heritage and dedication to quality. Grado Headphones are covered by a 1-year warranty.
Construction: The new 44mm dynamic drivers have a more powerful magnetic circuit than past versions, along with a voice coil with decreased effective mass and a reconfigured diaphragm. This combination makes the headphones more efficient, reduces distortion, and prevents unwanted coloration of your music. These newly-designed drivers are matched to within 0.1dB for optimum stereo imaging. The SR60x features an open back design that produces a full, more realistic experience. The new rugged body helps to eliminate resonances that can cause distortion. This new Prestige Series headphone includes a new headband with more cushioning for a more comfortable listening experience.
Cable: The SR60x has a high-quality 68" 4-conductor audio cable with a 3.5mm gold-plated plug. The cable has been improved with a tougher braided jacket, and a super annealed copper wire for better purity. The plug has a sturdy molded sleeve with ample stress relief. A gold-plated, snap-on 6.5mm (1/4") adapter is included for use with your home audio components.
Note: The size of the plug sleeve may cause interference with some smartphone cases.
Replaceable Cushions: The high-quality foam rubber ear cushions can be removed for cleaning, if needed. If they show signs of wear, you can replace them with the Grado Replacement Cushion S.
Note: The headphone's ear cushions are not covered in the manufacturer's one-year warranty.
Specifications:
- Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20kHz
