Grado iGrado Black

Renown for their trad old-school look and lively rock n'roll sound, buzz is all agog about Brooklyn's venerable Grado Labs joining with hipster street culture to create the portable iGrado headphone. Featuring a non-adjustable 'neckband' ('behind-the-head') headband design and highly efficient sensitivity ratings, the iGrado are designed for active folks listening on the fly to iPods, Mp3 players and laptop computers. These have a somewhat 'warmer' signature sound than most other Grado cans with clean highs and an acceptable bass response given the limitations of the neckband construction; that being said, this may still be the best-sounding can of it's category. In fact, the iGrado have become the darlings of headphone hobbyists who have devised ingenious "improvements" to the headphone such as modifying the internal foam earpads or re-cabling the cord, resulting in improved sound. Perhaps a minor quibble for us is the solid plastic non-adjustable neckband that might become a bit uncomfortable for some wearers depending on the size & geometry of their particular noggin. We still lean towards the Grado SR60i model as being THE killer entry-level headphone, and it too will work very well in most portable applications despite its slightly larger ergonomics compared to the iGrado.

The iGrado are 'open-back' earcup (NO noise-blocking!) headphone with a one-piece plastic headband that loops around the back of the neck. It's a very stable, secure fit and perfect for fast-moving exercisers, movers & shakers...or if you just dont want to muss up your lovely coiff. The iGrado earpieces are lightly padded with a thin foam material shielding the speaker elements next to the ear. Although it may appear to the naked eye like the earpieces would be able to rotate for fit adjustments, they are actually fixed earcups permanently attached to the neckband. This certainly limits how widely useful they might be for big-headed types -- like our HeadRoom crew! The impedance rating of the iGrado is 32-ohms, just like the rest of the Grado headphone line, and the claimed frequency response range is a very respectable 20-20000Hz. The iGrado headphones feature an 120-day manufacturer's warranty supported by Grado Labs located in Brooklyn USA.
