Grado SR60

For more than three decades the SR60 has introduced listeners to the world of open-back headphones. Simple, honest, and engaging, it remains the most direct path into the Grado lineup.

For many music lovers — including reviewers, engineers, and founders of companies now shaping the headphone industry — the SR60 was where the journey began.

At a time when many headphones rely on closed designs and digital processing, the SR60 continues to offer something increasingly rare: a straightforward open-back listening experience from a long-established manufacturer at an approachable price.

At the center of the SR60 is Grado’s 44mm X2 dynamic driver, built around a Mylar diaphragm, copper voice coil, and rare earth magnetic system engineered for efficiency and control.

The tuning favors balance and musicality, delivering clear midrange, natural detail, and an inviting presentation designed for long listening sessions.
