If you are looking for feedback on this, you probably don’t want to hear from me. Because I’m about to shit all over everything you just said. But I won’t be that mean. Let’s just say hop off the Grado marketing BS that means nothing and these are very poorly built headphones that suck.

I love how you went on to saying that, and then went STRAIGHT into said you wouldn't do...

Literally right after you said that you started a rant...

             However, I don't want to start a major argument about the best headphones to get at this price point or why the grados are shit. Quite frankly If you enjoy your music that's good. If I do, well that's good obviously. Let's leave it at that. You consider the grados shit and uhhh well I consider them quite the opposite. 

        Can we leave it at that?

Yes, my bigger problem was just all the marketing BS you were saying about the plastic, and magnets, and copper coils.

I'm alot more experienced in speakers because I actually made one and worked for a company making some called Infinity. I never took part of any of there flagships but I have a review on the IRS V Loudspeakers that they made which I tagged you on because I wanted your feedback.

 

Also, I don't care what you say. In terms of cartridges ( on turntables ) grado makes the best. Period. Its as simple as that. No company to ever exist will make even remotely better cartridges then the Grado Labs. I still have there most expensive cartridge ( I didn't buy it, I made a really nice review on one of there statement series and I was also friends with Mr.Grado himself when I was in New York for a couple months on a audio rampage involving conventions with mostly speakers'n shit. ) And I haven't yet opened the box to it when I received it years ago. I'm planning to put it on my air bearing tonearm and on my Sound Engineering SE-1. Still, Grado made a very high standard with there cartridges and arguably that standard still should be met.

And yes, for fucks sake I still use turntables. I know I'm changing the subject but alot of people consider the best audio format reel to reel and yes partially that's true assuming your adding the reel to reel MASTER TAPES into the equation otherwise the best is vinyl's and that's why I'm using them instead of cd's or cassetes or digital. Besides, the Master Tapes are expensive af. Sometimes the master tapes can be equivalent to a LP or vinyl but only on certain occasions and typically those that are, are well heh very, very, very expensive and rare are usually its because they are recorded straight from the master tapes on tube hardware which is also really expensive and there only recorded from the finest LPs to make the illusion.

Here’s my 2 cents on Grado:

 

I used to own the Grado SR60i. I would 100% buy them again if it weren’t for the god awful wire that’s way too long and weighs a tonne. My Grado eventually died because the wire flared as the earcups spun around a lot. And then the drivers started to rattle. 

 

Yes, they sound a little bit thin and dry. It’s like the feeling of being inside an airplane. But they make classic rock and grunge music sound so warm and fuzzy. They’re definitely not the best sounding or most versatile headphones. But to me, owning multiple headphones is about having different experiences. Why buy a different headphone if it sounds exactly the same as the headphones you already have?

 

It’s just a hard sell for me though. Because that wire is like a dog turd on an otherwise delicious cake. Give me a Grado with a removable wire for $100 and I would buy 10.
