The verdict

The Grado Labs SR60x is the entry-level option in the company's lineup, and it's got a lot going for it. However, open-back headphones have a number of quirks that most consumers aren't used to dealing with. Definitely don't get these headphones for commuting: they stay by the computer for best results.
