Grado SR60 Classic Series Open-Back Headphones

Grado SR60 Classic Series Open-Back Headphones

The Grado SR60 Classic is the entry point into Grado’s current open-back headphone lineup, carrying forward more than three decades of SR60 history with the company’s latest Classic Series platform. Built around a 44mm X2 dynamic driver, lightweight molded housing, S cushions, and a fixed Bronze cable, the SR60 is designed for listeners who want a direct, engaging introduction to true open-back listening at an approachable price.

For music lovers familiar with earlier generations such as the Grado SR60x, the new SR60 Classic continues the model’s long-running focus on clarity, natural midrange, musical balance, and easy everyday listening while moving the SR60 into Grado’s current Classic Series.

44mm X2 Dynamic Driver

The SR60 uses Grado’s 44mm X2 dynamic driver, built around a Mylar diaphragm, copper voice coil, and rare-earth magnetic system. The driver is engineered for efficiency and control, with tuning that emphasizes clear vocals and instruments, natural detail, and an inviting tonal balance suitable for long listening sessions.

Open-Back Grado Sound

Unlike closed-back headphones that isolate the earcup, the SR60 uses an open-air acoustic design that allows the driver to breathe freely. The result is the spacious, immediate presentation that has made Grado headphones a longstanding choice for music enthusiasts seeking an uncomplicated wired listening experience.

Lightweight Molded Housing

The die-injection molded earcups keep the SR60 lightweight and durable while supporting its open-back architecture. The uncomplicated construction makes the SR60 comfortable for extended listening without adding unnecessary bulk.

Standard Headband Assembly

A padded synthetic headstrap is supported by Grado’s internal steel spring band. The spring band can be carefully adjusted to personalize inward pressure and fit, helping listeners tailor the headphone’s clamping force for comfort.

Fixed Bronze Cable

The SR60 is supplied with Grado’s fixed Bronze cable for dependable signal transmission and straightforward plug-and-play use. The standard connection uses a 3.5mm plug with a removable 1/4-inch adapter, allowing the headphones to connect to common portable sources as well as traditional home audio and headphone amplifiers.

S Cushions

Grado S cushions place the driver close to the ear and contribute to the SR60’s smooth, relaxed presentation. Grado ear cushions also function as part of the acoustic tuning system, so listeners can experiment with compatible cushion styles to make subtle changes to tonal balance and presentation.
