The track Death rises to a grand conclusion but has timing which some speakers find difficult to get right, impressively the Grado’s timed it just right. There’s even improvement to be had with a complimentary headphone amp/DAC which brought a whole new level to the SR60Xs. There’s something profoundly satisfying in how the SR60xs shape the music with gorgeously warm lower notes and a superb soundstage.

Combining advanced design techniques with sound engineering prowess, the Grado SR60X serves up an enriching audio journey to listeners everywhere. Our first impression is of the new cable and headband, these look like great improvements over the previous generation and should last much longer.What this means for the listener is more efficient headphones with reduced distortion and improved integrity of sound. With an impeccable blend of design innovation and superior audio technology, the SR60X on-ear headphones showcase Grado Labs' dedication to quality and ingenuity.

Generally speaking, these kinds of narrow, pronounced peaks in a frequency response are undesirable, since any swings in emphasis can have weird effects on your music. Grado Labs is a storied company, but probably not one you’ve heard of unless you’re already a headphone hobbyist.

With a space-black polycarbonate design and a sleek new front cap, the Grado SR60X Prestige On-Ear Headphones not only look stunning but are also built to last. Headphone measurements by definition are approximate and variable so don't be surprised if other measurements even if performed with the same fixtures as mine, differ in end results.

Crafted with a robust, space-black polycarbonate material and featuring a sleek new front cap, the Grado SR60X Prestige On-Ear Headphones herald a new benchmark in durability and style. At 2kHz, 4kHz, and 9kHz, significant peaks are present in the frequency response that will boost sounds like string plucks and strums, certain cymbal shimmers, and hi-hats. It’s something I also found while listening to Psycho Killer from Talking Heads live album Stop Making Sense. We reserve the right to refuse installation should our engineers think that the existing electrical or plumbing points are unsafe and in need of maintenance or if they are unable to install to existing furniture.As note though, we get luck with the peak around 4 kHz as we would be pulling that peak down a lot anyway.
