Grado Classic Series Headphones - SR60

Skylabs' favorite "budget-friendly" headphones, period!

The First Step Into Grado

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.

44mm X2 Dynamic Driver

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.

Standard Headband Assembly

The SR60 uses Grado's standard headband assembly, paired with a padded synthetic
headstrap.

At the core of the design is Grado's steel spring band, allowing listeners to easily
adjust the inward pressure of the headphones for a personalized and comfortable fit.

Bronze Cable

The SR60 is supplied with Grado's Bronze cable in a fixed configuration, balancing
durability with dependable signal performance.

S Cushions

The SR60 ships standard with Grado S cushions, contributing to a smooth and relaxed
presentation.

Grado cushions also act as a tuning element, allowing listeners to personalize their
headphones by experimenting with different cushion styles to subtly adjust tonal
balance and presentation.

Molded Housing

The SR60 utilizes a lightweight die-injection molded housing that provides durability
while keeping the headphone comfortable and easy to wear.

The open-back architecture allows music to breathe naturally, producing the spacious
presentation that defines the Grado listening experience.
