Grado Headphones

By The Manolith Team on October 18th, 2008

If you’re an avid rock music listener who appreciates the clarity of hearing every little pluck of the guitar and other sound semantics that other headphones miss or simply don’t have the capacity to relay to your ears, you may already own a pair of Grado headphones.

Whether you’ve heard of Grado headphone products or not, it may only be a matter of time before you decide to give them a try. If you’re already contemplating Grado products, it may be one of the best headphone purchases you can make for a uniquely unparalleled quality of sound that these headphones provide.

Currently, the most popular Grado headphones are their model SR 60. The Brooklyn manufactured SR 60 headphones are the least expensive in their Prestige Series and can be purchased for around $70. For this price, the SR 60 gives back an excellent balance of sound, impeccable bass that revs up quickly compliments of a small driver within the headphones.

For current owners of the Grado SR 60 headphones who want to upgrade or those who want to take their purchasing power to the next level, the Grado 225 headphones are more costly but likewise give the control of a mega house of sound to the user. Grado 225 headphones are larger than their inexpensive SR 60 counterparts and are recognized as providing a superlative listening experience, particularly for up tempo songs. Voice coils made from Grado’s own ultra-quality, oxygen free copper is a portion of what creates Grado’s unique sound experience.

If you are shopping the market to compare high quality headphones, you owe it to yourself to add Grado to your list to explore. Grado’s highest quality headphones, the 325s, compares itself to Bose in many ways and challenges you to consider Grado’s offerings of comparable sound and features at a lesser price than Bose.

Although Grado headphones are fashioned in a manner that some may find a bit gaudy, their sound makes all the difference in the world. If you’re more interested in the quality of sound than having a bud in your ear or a small band across the back of your neck, Grado phones step up to the plate and deliver the quality in larger styles that may only take a little getting used to until you hear the brilliance of their slightly expanded middle range which produces sound through Grado’s headphones that sounds as true and clear as the original creation.

For those who are also conscious about where their products are made, it should be reiterated that all Grado headphones are manufactured in the United States in Grado’s Brooklyn Labs. It is also worth noting that Grado headphones have been recommended by many electronics publications as the number one choice for music and media playback with iPod.

There is only one precaution that should be taken with Grado headphones which involves the fact that they do leak sound and can disturb others with their noise, which may make them not practical for some.
