Criteria Comments Rating
  • Sound quality Great range and pretty flat signature, but not the most precision nor the biggest soundstage good
  • Design and form factor Laying on your desk or hanging around your neck, these look phenomenal. On your head, not so much (I would have preferred the flatter design of the old SR-60s) good
  • Comfort The hard vinyl band will irritate a thinly-haired head, but the pads are soft and comfort improves with use good
  • Noise isolation These don't isolate awful!
  • Durability I cant imagine these will ever break or wear. Grado is also well-known for their repair service, so you're covered great!
Detailed review
Not exactly designed to be portable, it has a huge cable (in all dimensions) and similarly large jack that doesn't want to work with ipod cases (it can be driven by portable players, though). It works great for sedentary use, though, and is comfortable enough to be worn for hours on end.
