Dane, how much were these? Alex -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: 20 January 2014 23:49 To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Grado Labs SR60I Headphones, they arrived..
Yes, received them about 15 minutes ago and have given them a quick listen using my Yamaha RXV-520 Receiver. Sound is very nice though I can appreciate I think a comment a fello list member made when he said he thought these cans were "In Your Face", certainly the mid range stands out but the bass is there along with a crisp and distinct top end. If you like bass heavy cans then these aren't the one's for you but if you like to hear music the way it was recorded - meaning you like hearing an honest reproduction of the recording - then these cans do a surprisingly good job for the price - wouldn't expect otherwise really given that the Grado Labs SR60I cans won the Stereophile Magazine Award -. The cans are of a nice feel and good construction, they're an open ear type so you can hear what's going on around you. The lead is 15 feet long and of an excellent heavy duty quality, this is something you don't see on cans at this price often, one end is the thick easy to grasp plug whilst the other end is a "Y" shape where the cable separates into two slightly thinner cables, one for each can. The phones themselves are cusioned with nice thick comfy foam, again thicker than you commonly find usually for on the ear type cans. Both phones swivil, I'm not sure what the idea of this is but they do regardless of the idea. These cans are really meant for a good hi-fi setup, you may find a headphone amp is required if using these cans with a MP3 player, iPhone etc. ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954
