Grado Labs iGrado Headphones Different, But Still Good
Grado headphones have a reputation that has built over time and that is quality headphones at a premium price. Most of their headphones retail from 70-1,000 dollars so when this lower end iGrado set of headphones was introduced I was really interested to see where the company was going with this type of release. Most of the time you never really know what you’re going to get, but read further and you can discover all about the iGrado and if it merits a purchase from you.
Headphones from Grado are known for their exceptional quality and the bulky retro design that seem to be a real hit with consumers even though many carry a very high price tag. Now the iGrado though goes on the opposite end of the spectrum and is a street style low-end type of stereo headphone, which is radically different from anything this company has produced in a very long time. The iGrado lacks the funky look that so many of their products, but that does not mean that this set of headphones is not worth considering by any stretch of the imagination. The plastic headband fits around the back of your neck and over the tops of your ears. Its ear cups have flat pads that sit against your ears and for the most part, they do fit well. These are much thinner than the traditional Grado headphones that I am use to, but still a nice touch indeed. It will take a little while to get use to these, because I am use to the standard retro design that Grado is famous for, but I still like these just the same.
This model is available in black or white hues and is very comfortable to wear even after hours of use. It will take people some time to get use to, as these are not the same type as most people are use to. The iGrado uses the same drivers as the popular SR60's which is one of the best headphones in the sub-$100 range. The ear cups though are somewhat smaller on this model and the sound is much different than the SR60's. Sound quality wise this model is a little different from most Grado headphones so you must be ready for that. People need to remember that this is a low-end entry into the headphone market and you are not going to get numb blowing sound like you are use too. The iGrado does produce very good sound, but not like you expect from Grado headphones. Overall, this set of headphones produces good sound for the low-end user. Most people will love these headphones as you get the Grado name with a very low cost so that is something that you must look at. Are these as great as the SR60's? No, but remember you are not spending that kind of money either so you must consider that as well. The old adage fits here perfect you get what you pay for and what your get is a good set of headphones at a low price.
Overall impressions of the iGrado is they are just what they were designed for the low-end market. When you are paying a low-end price you really cannot expect anything else, but that. People sometimes forget this and think they deserve much more for the money. It is true we have been spoiled by Grado and some of the set of headphones they have issued over the years. This model is just a low-end product that does a very good job and gives you good sound quality at a very fair price. Most people may not like these, but for me they gave me everything I expected so I was not disappointed one bit. Grado will probably be issuing more low-end products in the future, but for now, this is not a bad start for a company who is known for high-end headphones. If you’re looking for your first pair of headphones this is a good place to start.
This iGrado does have some minor problems, but since it is on the low-end price wise these complaints can really not be justify. For what you pay for these, the sound quality is very good and the comfort is very good. Do not let these pass you by if you’re looking to add another set of headphones to your collection. Not to many times will you be able to purchase a set of Grado headphones for a price like this too often that is for sure.
