saw a review for these phones, apparently even though they use the same drivers as the SR60 they sound much worse. but decent cans in their own right.

i dont think these street style headphones. comes across as neither here nor there. like a fashion statement gone wrong or something haha. but thats just me. :sony:

hmm...given that they sport the same drivers, only with a different housing, $70 is IMO a great price considering the SR60 to be $120+ or thereabouts...

genocide, do fill us in with your impressions after you have spent some time with them.

Pics pics (decent ones) I want..

Mmm... picture whore me am! :)

Yeah, agree with Fongalv, but there's this tiny possibility that it may not sound entirely the same as SR60 but given the same drivers, I would expect them to perform around the same.

Does it have the Grado signature, genocide?

Judging from the responses at headfi, it doesn't have the typical "grado" sound. Rather, it's bassy and, well "street-style". :P

I'm curious to try these too... I saw them at Music By Design, but it was already closed.

The Grado sound is anything but bassy. I want to try these out...

Btw, I have seen some threads in Head-Fi where the used Sennheiser PX100 ear pads in place of the stock grados.

Does it make the sound any better?

The pad makes it more comfortable I think. There's a mod to remove a certain lining inside the housing to make the highs more forward. Check head-fi for the mod.

Not sure of iGrado has the same pads as SR-60... but the comfies for SR-60 are good to go.

Haha, just kidding, take your time.

I believe you can get those by emailing Sennheiser?

Now that's kind of unfair... there isn't any question of which is more superior... :blink:

It's more of the bang-for-your-buck value than the absolute quality. I doubt a street-style Grado can beat the real stuff.
