Grado Prestige Series SR-60i Padded Headphones Review

I faced the same dilemma as many other buyers faced. Was it worth paying the extra for the sr80i's? In the end, I think not. I listened to both at a local store (where I bought the headphones) and found the difference minute. I was listening to music recorded in FLAC and the bass in the sr80s sounded a bit too overwhelming for my tastes. I don't think you need me to rant on about how good the headphones are in their dynamic ability because there are plenty of high end reviews out there such as the review by Stereophile. I followed other people's recommendations and bent the band back until the phone just barely hold on when I look down. Now I can listen to the headphones for hours without any complaints. When I first got them, I could only listen for about 2 hours before my head hurt, but with less clamping force that complaint is gone.

Good:
Sound - The BEST part about these headphones
Price - While may sound steep, you will never want to listen to anything else

The Bad:
You will be disappointed with any other method of listening to music
Can be uncomfortable, but I have had no problem with them, even after 4 hours of listening

So what are you waiting for? It's time to order yourself a pair of Grado's. You will be happy you did.

Just Right Unless You Wear Glasses - Chris Redfield -
The only gripe I had was that when wearing glasses a painful pressure lingered on the sides of my head.
