When it comes to headphones, Grado seems to know its stuff. The ?9.00 Prestige Series SR60s are one of the most compact models in this Super Test, and the styling also provides a welcome break from the norm, with a retro appeal that wouldn't look out of place on a WWII radio operator.
An open-back design, this Grado has no-nonsense simplicity written all over it, with a single loop headband and supra-aural foam ear pads. Both earpieces are fed by a thick cable of stethoscope proportions, and just 2m long. Terminated with a 3.5mm jack, the SR60s come supplied with a 6.3mm adaptor.
Despite their old-fashioned looks, these 'phones feel surprisingly lightweight and comfortable to wear. The 'single'-style headband gives adequate tension to hold the 'phones in position, while the removable foam ear pads allow the ears to 'breathe' even after prolonged use. My only criticism is that the headband would benefit from more sumptuous padding.
Sound quality
The moment I listened to the SR60s I knew what Grado meant by its "truly the world's finest..." claim. I was blown away. Not by the bass, although there's plenty of it, but by the sheer articulation and lack of coloration. This is what headphones should sound like. The SR60s gave perhaps the best balanced frequency response in this test.
Transparent to a fault, the Grados breathed new life into recordings, highlighting intricacies in the music that were masked before. Classical and jazz tracks are portrayed with such refinement and detail that the full emotion of a performance comes across.
Bass depth and quality has a good sense of attack and rhythm, making speedier tracks move along with pace and confidence. The SR60s boast a soundstage offering unrivalled stereo image and spaciousness.
An exceptionally neutral performer which adds nothing and takes even less away, the SR60s are a simple pair of 'phones doing their job properly. They sound superb, and are an outstanding Best Buy. |
