^^ yes! They have a very detailed sound to them, low end is great still. They’re awesome!

My main issue with Grados are they're open backed headphones. Mind you, I've never owned open backed headphones, but the thought of having others hear my music and not getting a perfect seal have me a little dismayed.

So how bad is the sound leakage and how much of a non-issue is this? My main point of comparison right now is the Bowers & Wilkins P5 and the AKG N60NC I got from pre-ordering a Galaxy Note 9.

Frankly I don’t think it affects the sound having an open style earcup... they just don’t have as much noise isolation/cancellation. Sound is phenomenal. I listen to music in bed at night for a bit after the Mrs’s has gone to sleep, they don’t seem bother her.

Grado SR60s on Amazon for $35 today.

Great deal. If you get a pair, leave them playing at moderate volume for a few days.

They are open type, not noise blocking

"Usually ships within 1 to 2 months."
MONTHS ? That gave me a bit of pause.

That is about half the usual price.

Plus, they make them essentially by hand in a tiny shop in Brooklyn.

Thank you, I took advantage of that.

Back in the day they were known for really good phono cartridges.
