    Grado Sr60E What a find!!

    Grado Sr60E What a find!!
    Let me start by saying i was staying clear of the Grado cans based on so many reviewers complaining of its bright sound. However i was intrigued of the almost 5 stars from Amazon reviewers. Let me say i have many headphones to include but not limited to, Hifiman HE400i, Fostex T50RP MK3, Sony MDR1A, Sony XBA-Z5 (IEM), Philips SHP9000, Philips A5pros, Sony DRX-701i, Sennheiser HD579, Sony MDR-V6, Sennheiser HD 4.40BT , etc etc. I have to say that i hated the dated looks of all the Grados let alone the ridicules prices. However, reading thousands of reviews that were more positive than Negative i had to try one, at least their cheapest model, the SR60E. People either love or hate the Grados no in between. They began appealing to me, in fact very much so and i've never held one in my hands yet. Well, I ordered one, couldn't wait to listen through these babies. I rushed to my home and quickly opened the package. Super light weight and i liked them, not bad. I saw my Astell & Kern K120ii player sitting on my pool table. My better judgement said don't do it, don't listen through the AK120i, you know it has a very bright signature with all the mids and upper registry boosted and you are going to hate the sound, being that Grados also possess a bright sound. In fact you don't like the sound with any of your cans connected to the AK. Well i went against my better judgement and connected it to the Grado SR60E without the Cayin C5 portable amp which was not nearby. I hit the play button with whatever was up first and i said........oh wow, BUMMER!! The music was very bright to barely any bass whats so ever. I knew it!!. I quickly disconnected from the AK and ran to get my Sony Walkman ZX2 which has a beautiful analog sound and it's a match made in heaven paired with the Fiio E12 mont blanc. First song, i went to was...A thousand Kisses deep by Leonard Cohen, this singer has to have the best thickest voice. My settings on the ZX2 was in the STUDIO setting, (it's like an EQ setting to mimic the singer as if he's in a studio recording live) with the EQ bass at number 5 from 10 being the highest, it's an EQ preset. The BASS BOOST on the Fiio E12 amp is mostly on the OFF setting but with some songs i engage it. In fact as long as the song can handle the bass boost i will keep it so long that it doesn't over power my mids and highs. These cans can handle a good deal of added bass without affecting the overall sound. In fact it appreciates it and makes most of my songs sound whole. The sound was so freaking gorgeous, Leonard's voice was exactly where he needs to be, right between my ears, the sound stage instruments, slightly away from my ears, bass full and not overpowering his voice. The treble was simply perfect. No sibilant or harsh treble heard.Okay, with the studio setting on the off position and the EQ off, the sound stage narrows right to the beginning of your ears where the instrument are situated along with the bass notes and the vocals take front center, more in your face and the voice thickens by a tad which i absolutely love, it's not to forward to take over but enough to rule the show. The treble cymbals are heard as if one is plucking the guitar strings going down your ear canal. What a gorgeous song however, the studio setting on the Sony ZX2 when engaged widens the sound-stage and moves the instruments a bit forward and outside of your ears, the vocals will move right between your ears but a tad higher, but does not V shape the sound but it does thins out the vocals just by a hair, audiophiles will pick up on this. Now while i love my vocals not to be molested in any way, the sound of the in STUDIO setting is so overwhelmingly inviting that i will take the hit on slightly thinning out the vocals which is actually a minuscule hit. I mean all your songs will sound outside the cans, strings notes bass etc, not the vocals of course. I have fallen in love with these cans. Hotel California by The Eagles (album name when...Hell Freezes Over) The guitar strings, the cymbals are just outside your right ear, the bass is center right behind the center of your head. The bass boost on the Fiio E12 had to keep it off because higher than 12 o'clock (loud) the SR60E could not handle it without producing a slight pop. However i turned it off and the bass notes were still very present and clear. You can easily hear the sub notes but it wont rattle your ear cups by any means. Up on the roof"Live) by the Blue Man Group, with the BASS boost ON on the Fiio E12 sounded absolutely full of BASS everywhere and crisp highs, wow wow!!. September in Montreal" by Anne Bisson, bass line clear and very present, Bass Boost OFF, the piano simply played smooth, the voice absolutely dominating in the center between my ears while still not leaving any other instruments like the drum snares behind. Nothing stays behind. Jazz Variants" in FLAC format which you have to absolutely download because you will hear all sorts of cymbals and bass notes, snares, sub notes...my goodness, I'm listening as i am writing!! Go to Chiasenhac.com register for free and type in the search.....Jazz Variants" It shows by Various Artists. It should be the first one that pops out. Downloaded for free in FLAC form. Holy cow you will be blown away! Ok i have to stop or this review will go forever. These cans go pretty darn loud without any distortion, enough to make you deaf. Now i am wondering if i am missing anything with the Grado 225E or the SR325e? Most reviewers state diminishing returns. Welcome to the audiophile world which torments us to perfection.LOLAs for comfort, hmmm?, here is the scoop, i've never liked over ear, i have a Status Audio HD-One headphone which are on ear and while the sound is pretty good, the comfort was murder on my ears let alone wearing eye wear. I tossed them aside in a cabinet never to be heard from again. So i stayed clear but i remembered a reviewer saying to ride the Grado SR60E slightly above the center of your ears as in sitting a tad higher on your ear top than on your lower ear lobes and it works, i can't put these babies down. As to wearing eye wear, oh yes, they are murder on your ears but this is what i do and works perfectly. Put the headphones on first, then your glasses legs place them on top of the headphone ear foams, your glasses will be at a slight angle up but you will be able to read just fine. Also, don't wear these headsets in the heat, the foam will feel like a hard foam brush..terrible.Okay, my gear is the Sony Walkman ZX2 (you have to get this player for you analog audiophiles lovers) It's a little underpowered in my opinion but the sound will more than make up for it. Plus all the sound signature settings it accommodates. i.e ...studio, matrix, club, concert) a separate EQ, and separate CLEAR BASS setting that makes the bass clearer, plus a separate setting HSEE-HX to bring out the highs that are lost to mp3 conversion, i don't hear improvement differences with AAC320kbps conversions as this is top notch for compressed files. The HSEE feature is rigged for 128kbps which i dont use so i keep it OFF.. I only use the EQ and STUDIO settings. Oh, the bass is rolled off some passed the 75% volume so i keep it at 75% and pair it with the Fiio E12, still plenty strong paired.The files are all AAC320kbps or Flac format.The portable amp is Fiio E12 mont blanc. ( every audiophile needs to own this gem, it's very powerful at 850mw of power. The bass boost is super clear on any well recorded song.I can understand why the Grados are either loved or hated, the gear also plays a great deal in obtaining the best sound quality. The wrong combo can make or break the deal. I should have purchased a Grado years ago. I paid for my headphones and have NO affiliations to Grado, so this is all my humble opinion to help others on the fence. I really thought i was going to hate the sound signature and it has been the other way around. These Grados SR60e sound fine with smartphones but their beauty comes out with a dedicated DAP and a Portable Amp like the FiioE12. I have not tested the sound with my other amps and or the FiioE17 Alpen2 yet.Why five whole stars? I have to be fair, the headphones have a truly remarkable sound, they are open and not designed for transport, the cable is just fine for home use. The headstrap could be better quality but at 79.00 i can't ask for more. Maybe the ear cushion? Knock a star off? Because i know i will not stand them in the heat it will be like sleeping in fiberglass...LOL, anyway feel free to ask anything if i can help i will.
