Grado SR60x Headphones

Easy-Going and Impressive Grado Headphone

The SR60x produces an impressive soundstage in an affordable headphone. It's the simplest way to experience Grado sound! As the entry-level headphone in the Brooklyn lineup, the SR60x produces the best audio quality at its price point and proves the Grado sound is never out of reach.

Signature Grado Sound

The clarity and range of Grado headphones can reveal new notes and details in songs heard hundreds of times. The driver and housing working in tandem react to sound vibrations and virtually eliminate transient distortions. With harmonic colors, full bodied vocals, and a world-renowned mid-range, the SR60x produces easily obtainable Grado sound.

Grado X-Series Drivers

Fourth Generation Grado drivers are here. Specifically tuned for the SR60x, this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for Grado's 44mm drivers improves efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music.

New Cables and Headband

Along with the speakers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the SR60x. Now housed in a more durable exterior, the four-conductor cable features a super annealed copper wire for improved purity of the audio signal. The new headband features more cushion for a comfier experience.

Hand-Built in Brooklyn

Each SR60x is hand-built by Grado's team in Brooklyn. This headphone goes from workbench to workbench until it’s ready for your ears. Grado started building on a kitchen table in 1953, and every experience since then has led to the creation of the SR60x.

The New Grado X-Driver Prestige Headphones

Grado Labs new Prestige Series feature the first X Drivers. These newly built speakers are the fourth generation of drivers the Brooklyn company has designed since the introduction of the first Grado headphone in 1991. Along with the superior sound these new drivers produce, the five headphones in the Prestige Series (SR60x, SR80x, SR125x, SR225x, SR325x) are now built with a new durable cable and new headbands.

In twenty years Grado Labs has only released four generations of drivers, the speaker inside the headphone. Avoiding yearly update cycles, Grado has made sure to only place new drivers inside their headphones when there is a significant upgrade. The X Drivers bring a completely redesigned speaker and new harmony to the inner workings of the Prestige Series.

Each X Driver is specifically tuned for headphone they’re built into. Grado has increased the magnetic power of the speaker while decreasing the effective mass of the voice coil. Along with the reconfigured diaphragm, this unison creates a speaker that represents the truest presentation of the original source.

"The Prestige Series means the world to our family", says Jonathan Grado. "It’s the first series we ever released, and includes not only our first-ever headphone (SR80) but also our first metal pair as well (SR325). Our goal was to increase the efficiency of our drivers while not only maintaining, but also improving the purity of the original recording and the mid-range we’re known for. Without the Prestige Series, we wouldn't be here."
